    Hi all

    I'm from the Heathrow Airport area and currently ride a Harley Fat Boy (Its a keeper) and have toured Ireland, most of the UK and Europe to attend HOG Rallys and cover approx. 5k to 7k miles a year, pleasure only.

    I Love the Triumph brand although ive never owned one but hope to put that right this year and buy a New Bonneville Bobber once ive moved house so I have somewhere safe to keep her.

    Im looking forward to getting involved with the brand / riding and participating in the forum.

    Rgds CJ

    Welcome to the forum - the Bobber would be good company for the Fat Boy

    I have a Welsh import model myself.:D

    I also used to live in West Ruislip, back when it had an RAF housing estate. (My dad was stationed at Northolt) so know Hillingdon well.
    Used to race up and down Hillingdon hill and the Uxbridge road in my 100/250cc days :D

    Welcome to the forum CJ
    I've not ridden a Bobber but if I already had the HD, I would go for a T120 which is totally different and something you may find great fun to ride.

    Interesting ..... Ive rode the Bobber and it is so so different to the Fat Boy, the Bobber is Lighter and handles in a chuckable way lol and the riding position is totally different all positives and not suggesting the Fatt Boy is not a good bike I've toured Europe with luggage for 2 x weeks and a pillion and the bike deals with it all extremely well. Plus I love the look of the Bobber and it is fun to ride a real smile on your face bike which clinches it for me Rgds CJ
