Howdy folks, Thought Id say hello while I'm waiting for my T120 Black to turn up. Looking forward to it and will post some thoughts once I get a few miles in on it (I'm told June).
Hi Bonzo. Welcome to the playpen. Next time I'm out with our mutt I'll give you a wave as get a nice view of the IOM when it's not raining.
Welcome in Bonzo, I heard all ferries to the IOM were being cancelled in June so T120 deliveries weren't happening til August!
Hi Bonzo and welcome. Don't worry too much about what Crispey says - he thinks he's being funny BTW, you lucky dog with a new T120. I look forward to hearing all about it.
IOM !!!! That must be awful for you. Every year all the bloody boy racers turning up, riding like a bunch of loonies. Must be horrible Enjoy the new bike. You ever get fed up riding round the mountain course ?
Hello Bonzo, welcome to the forum. I'm over on the IOM for 3 visits this year the Southern100 Pre TT Classic, Southern100 International and the Classic TT/Manx Stopping at the Railway Station Hotel, Port St Mary, if your in the area pop in for a drink
Good choice, will be over for the Classic/Manx on the Thruxton and mate on his new silver/red T120...if it's arrived. Teejay
Thanks for the welcome folks. Blimey it's a bit more friendly on here than it is on the RAT forum! Yeah, ordered a black T120 Black. Had a T100 back in 2002, but the novelty soon wore off. Had a few bikes over the years, last bike was Ducati Monster 1100Evo which was simply fantastic. I was convinced I was never gonna let go of it and then Triumph teased me with the new Bonnies which (on paper) seemed to cater for my current riding style (slow & chilled). We'll see how it pans out. Still a bit miffed that the rest of the world has had their bikes for a while and the UK seems like the runt of the litter. Hoping to get a test ride soon. Might take a Thruxton R out too to see how it compares. I don't think it's for me but I'm keeping an open mind especially as it looks so beautiful. I'll let you know. Cheers & enjoy your bank holiday
