    I have been gone for awhile, sold my Scrambler XE awhie back. I loved the bike except my burning right leg plus life has a tendency to drive you in different paths.
    Really missed my Scrambler but back this time with a 2023 Bonnevilee T120 I just took delvery on. I test drove a Speedmaster and 1200 Speed Twin but in the end the Bonneville T120 was the ticket. When I first got on the bike it felt more comfortable and smooth than any previous bike I have ever rode. I was not into the black, graphite or Elvis edition so I found the blue / white version and could not resist. It is cold here in Montana now but I still have been able to get out a little and put a few miles on her - can't wait for warmer weather!!

    P.S. Also own a Ducati Desert Sled for those days I feel like being a bit radical.

    Love the color scheme!! Plenty of wide open spaces in Montana! I suspect that you have found a few roads that don't disappear dead straight into the horizon! That should be fun for shorter rides, too. Do you plan to add panniers or a top box?

    Just added a center stand, grab rail and rear rack, panniers and a small windscreen are next.
