    I usually ride GSs and GSAs but have owned a couple of Thunderbird Storms in the past as second bikes but struggled a bit with the heavy clutch.
    I recently bought another GSA but stumbled across this Bonneville T120 on Saturday not five miles from me. Registered in October last year with 900 miles on her and totally immaculate.
    I didn't intend to buy her, well that's what I told my wife, but she will shortly be added to the stable.
    I'm 66 and live in Kingsley Cheshire.
    So Hi everyone and give me a wave if you see me on the road...

    Lovely bike and welcome, but I think your panniers are on backwards!

    You may be right. The bike was bought like that so I'll have a look when she arrives.

    Looking at the photo I suspect you're right...

    Welcome to the family. What a great intro. And the Bonnie is stunning. Well you will go far here in the asylum and the inmates will talk to you forever.
    Regards & Ride Safe.
    Joe.

    Lovely looking bike. You're the other side of the Pennines but I'll keep my eyes open for it.

    Welcome to the forum Dave, I have a storm and love it so far, so any goodies you've got stashed away for them in the man cave then get them on for sale section on here, money will come in hand for the Bonnie extra's you'll be wanting. ITS NEVER ENDING :D:D

    Hi. Sadly they all went to the buyer in Wolverhampton although I do have a Saddlemen sissy bar bag looking for a new home - unused...

    Welcome... please excuse my pointing it out but your panniers are on back to front.
    They're from an 865 Bonneville America I think.

    Oh, us purists!
    But if it suits you that's fine.
