    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).

    Welcome in Bonzo, I heard all ferries to the IOM were being cancelled in June so T120 deliveries weren't happening til August!

    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 :D

    Enjoy the new bike. You ever get fed up riding round the mountain course ?

    Good choice, will be over for the Classic/Manx on the Thruxton and mate on his new silver/red T120...if it's arrived.

    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 :)
