Hello

[hondo]

New to the forum. I haven't owned a bike in years but I will be back riding soon. Funny how life gave me excuses to stop riding. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I was sitting at a stop light this past summer. A biker was stopped in the lane next to me and I caught myself looking at the bike and having the strongest feeling if déjà vu. I suddenly remembered how it felt to just go on a ride and the awesome way it slowly melted the stress away. Didn't matter what kind of bike I was on. It was the ride.

Life is too short.

I purchased a 2014 Thruxton at Joe's cycle in Dayton, Ohio. He had a British racing green and a black 2013 on the floor that I sat on numerous times (as well as the other Bonneville models just to make sure) before I committed. After he priced the 2013 "out the door" I had him do the same for a 2013. It was only a bit over $300 difference so I decided to get a 2014. He did not have one of those on the floor. I added Arrow exhaust before inspection and delivery. He said by Wednesday next week. Here's the 2013, if I added the picture correctly.

Good for you, my mate bought a Thruxton last year the same colour, he always wanted a Triton but decided to go for the Thruxton. He absolutely loves it, as I'm sure you will too.
Only 5 days to go before you sling your leg over her. Take it easy and have a fantastic ride home. Then you can run indoors and get your camera out and show us more
