I live here year around, and love the rally. I get to meet so many great people. I have a whole "rally family" that stay here every year. I'm new to Triumphs but have been riding a '76 Honda CB550 cafe for 15 years. My first and only motorcycle so far. Our local dealership has quite a few Triumphs in stock right now. I'm going to test ride a few tomorrow and then bring one home. It's time for a more comfortable ride, I'm not getting any younger. Looking at: 2007 Bonneville 2009 Bonneville SE 2013 Bonneville If you have any advice about these bikes or words of encouragement, I'm all ears. Thank you!
DeeOliver Welcome to the family. Yes wish I was there with you well there any way. Got to be the best week of all. I believe I read somewhere SandiT was going. Do drop us some picture's to keep the inmate satisfied and nursey will love you for it as she get a rest. Ride Safe & Enjoy Joe
SandiT might well be there, but so are about 480,000 other bikers !!!! Like when you tell someone your from Scotland, there reply is ' my brother married a Scottish lass' do you know her !!!!!! Oh aye, all 6 million of us are on first name terms As to the OP question, just go look see and decide which bike gives the best smiles per $. All are good reliable bikes, no real inherent problems with any year of production. Just don't get a black one, the're the slowest and SE has the nice paint job.
Tim Schultz from Sioux Falls, SD Been out there more time than I can count. Born and Raised to ride the Black Hills. Just a few trips over the years: 1994 1995 1998 2018 Sturgis Rally is a blast, I recommend it to anyone. You will never forget your experience and you will never forget the beautiful riding in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My home State!!!!!

Now a days people carry mobiles or laptops and this being their favourite they log in and see the mail now they think wonder if joe Bloggs will see this and we could say hello. Simple really.
