    Bike is a 2012 Bonnie T100, originally used by me and others on a charity ride in 2011 for the 75th anniversary of the Great Escape. Ride was 3000 miles in 2 weeks, culminating in a visit to Stalag Luft III, memorial and tunnel, and a visit to the graves in Poznan cemetery all in Poland. It came up for sale so I bought it.

    I'm in Kent, UK. Weather is pants so looking forward to getting out riding again once it improves. One of our rides is to Normandy in May, we will be there for the 80th anniversary of D Day so will probably be at Pegasus Bridge on the day.

    Look forward to joining in

    Thanks for the welcomes.

    On another note, there are a few adverts for Triumph branded T-shirts and other jollies on Facebook, while I know they are not official has anyone ordered AND received any items from them?
