Well Hello There!

[zmilin]

I can't believe Ive never run across this forum before.
Ive been on other Triumph forums for a few years now and Im willing to bet most of the members here are probably members over there (wherever there is).
For those that our paths have not crossed here is a bit about me (well, my bikes really).

My bike: 07 America with lots of mods. Heres the basics: 07 Black BA, 39mm FCRs, TPUSA stage 1 head, TPUSA 813 cams, TPUSA 10.8:1 pistons, TTP #3 igniter, Specialty Spares Long Cannons, Tsukayu Hard Bags, Custom seat, and a ton of bolt on goodies.

My other bike (really the wife's bike but if I wrench on it I claim it ): She just traded in her 07 America for a 13 T100. Its till a work in progress but this is what will be done by end of this week.
Triumph Long Haul screen, Motech engine guards, Ricor intiminators up front, Hagon Nitros out back, Hepco & Becker C bow bag set, gel seat, Triumph bar end mirrors with ISO grips (if it all works out this will be a write up), tinted lens covers and a bunch of other small bolt ons. To come in a few weeks should be a set of TPUSA Dominators.
Heres a pic of the bike still in OEM form.

Hello and to TT
Two beautiful bikes you have

 

[keystiger]

I live in sunny Seattle Wa.

I KNEW it was somewhere PNW-ish. Lucky Devil.....its a well documented fact on this forum I LOVE the PNW... and Seattle ROCKS! More pics please more pics!!!

 

[zmilin]

Heres one more pic for ya. This was at Camp Kory in Carnation Wa area. One of my favorite pics and this was when my bike was lowered and Karen (the wife) was still on her America. I loved the look with it lowered but it ddi not corner worth a $#!^ so I raised it back up after about a year.
Just for the record... the gear was taken off as we were taking a rest stop. We always ride ATGATT.

Wow, Enumclaw!, that's like a whole 30 minutes away.
The Starbucks across from Safeway (I think it's a Safeway) is a fairly regular meeting spot for my buddy and I when we are going to ride the mountain loop.

Close, It's the QFC, but Safeway ain't far east of there right on 410. That mountain loop is a very nice ride. I've only done it once since I bought the bike late summer of 2012.

Lots of bail money! Trouble seems to find me.... somehow.. Why just the other day, I got pulled over for passing on the shoulder.. Johnny law let me go though with just a small bribe.

Gidday zmilan and welcome from another 07 owner from NZ.
How does your wife find the Bonnie after the BA. I considered one for a very short time last month untill I sat on it.After the America it felt extremely small under me,and it felt like I was perched on top of it rather than being a part of it.

Hi there Zmilan, welcome to the forum from across the pond. Did Seattle in 1995, brilliant place the PNW, but you already know that. Like the photo of you and your wife. Photos of your area that you live will always go down a treat here. Enjoy the forum

The Bonny is +/- 50 lbs lighter than her America so she likes it a lot. She rode one a few years ago when Triumph was still bringing their demo truck to dealers. She truly never got it out of her head and I knew one day she would have one.
We just got in from a ride and she had a blast. She enjoyed the America but the Bonny is more suited to her. Its not as heavy and feels lighter under her which allows her to maneuver better or should I say more easily.
I rode it a couple times and I have to day it feel like a feather compared to my America but the America is better suited to me. Im a fat ass and the motor is somewhat built so it moves me with ease.
Id be ting if I said I wouldn't mind another Bonny in the garage...not going to happen though.

Welcome from the Canadian East coast. Nice bikes you and your wife have. Great area for riding too. The climate there is a little more hospitable for riding.
