    Hi All,

    Greetings from leafy Hampshire, UK. I have a 2005 Hinkley Bonneville T100 called Melanie due to the melon orange and cream colour scheme.

    Not going to lie, I do less than 500 miles a year these days but I wanted a Bonneville since I started riding in 1977 so Melanie will never leave me.

    I've performed the Air Injection Removal mod and fitted K&Q seat and backrest but otherwise stock. I like some rorty pipes to compete with my best buddies Harley but on a bike that handles.

    Previous bikes over the years - Honda SS50, Jawa 350, Kawasaki Z400, Ducati Dahma Sport, Honda XL125, Suzuki 600 (forget the model), Suzuki DR650 DualSport, Honda SilverWing 600 (scooter, oh the shame). At my age, there probably won't be another bike between now and when the good lord calls for my last ride in the sun.

    Stay safe and happy riding all,
    Pete
