Hello friends, my name is Lijo Philip, live in Maidenhead & work in Park Royal. Though not new to my Bonnie and/or motorcycling, this is the first ever post in this forum. Bought my brand new Bonneville A3 in October 2015 and have clocked around 17000 miles till now. Most of the ride is the everyday commute which works out around 50 - 60 miles (depending on the route I take). My Bonnie still has most of stock parts, except for K&N air filter and a fairing (to help me with the winds on M40/M25/M4! During my commute in these last 22 months on the roads, have crossed several Bonnies and Thruxton and always had this wish to connect with them, but all I have managed to do is wave at them and reciprocate. After commuting for almost 2 years, planned my first ever long ride in end September to John O'Groats and back with a friend of mine from the US. Is there is a 'physical meet' that ever happens in South East England / London region of Bonnie riders? I have a lot of things in mind interms of upgrades on my babe but forums are just confuing at times. I am looking at suspensions, exhaust systems and other tuning options available. I absolutely love my Bonnie and will keep her for life ... Shall share some pics shortly. Mazel Tov, Lijo
Hello Lijo and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum - Nursie will be along soon with your meds !!! Re the forum, we have an annual General Meet-Up (GMU) and this year it was 3/4 days of mayhem !! We are currently debating where the 2018 jobby will be. In addition quite a lot of the guys get together on an add-hoc basis, so keep watching and I'm sure you'll find what you need. Great pics btw - great start !!
awesome, thank you @thebiglad ... would be fun to catch up with similar mental retards and discuss some new meds ...

Welcome to the forum Philip. Fit a Scottoiler if you're doing that mileage. Fork gaiters definitely required for that classic Bonnie look. Have you upgraded your suspension ?
Hello Phillip and welcome to the forum You'll find that this forum isn't confusing, it's just some of the inmates are confused
Thank you fellow riders ... nod and wave whenever we cross each other on the motorways or country roads ... Keep riding ... Ride safe / Lijo
A question to all the veterans, are Vance & Hines pipes available for 2015 Bonnie A3 ??? Saw it on a brand spanking new street twin and it was 'love-at-first-hear' ... I did temporarily change stock pipes to a hooligan shorty which I bought from squaredeals ... sounded ok but quality was sh*t! Now back to the 'sewing machine' sounding stock exhaust ... Any suggestions fellas!
Hello fellas ... Need a little help! Does anyone know any garage near London NW10 region who can fit these Arrow 2:2 on my Bonnie?? And remap as well! Cheers Lijo
