    'allo, mates, from the States - My semi-loathsome beer blokes are ribbing me about my recent purchase of a 2006 Black Bonnie. "Good luck with Lucas wiring!" they tease. But, am I mistaken to say that those days are long gone? If so, when did it end? If not, am I as stuffed as they claim? (sorry for lame Brit-isms. Just getting started)

    Hi and welcome to the forum :cool:
    Should have no electrical demons with a 2006 Bonnie, unlike my cousins 1963 Tiger 100! :eek:

    Thanks, all you wild and crazy guys! Another conundrum: if I apply for a "personalized" license plate I can only choose up to five letters. Would BONNY be ok or make me a self-identified poof?

    It’s all about balance of risk. You could just shorten Triumph to Trump?

    Do you care all that much. Beer bellied guzzling want to BE's are mostly jealous of what you have.

    You could always go for BONNI or even BONNE, even if the latter does sound/look a bit French. BONEY or BUNNY should confuse, if that appeals!!

    Hi and welcome WCB, nice bike and you will find they come around when you turn up regularly on it. HD and Indian domination is strong in the US, good on you to be an individual

    hahaha! I don't think I have the balls to go with BONEY. With my area going to -24C tomorrow they'll be migrating up into my rib cage. Plug in the battery trickler and daydream of Spring riding.
