Me too not sure it’s an age thing but after riding some Bonnevilles last year I just had to have the Bonneville T120, bought in December and absolutely love it 😍 saying that Classic Retro bikes are so in at the moment even with younger generation. Good to see the first two up ride. 👍

Yeah it's mad how trends change but to be fair the goldstar rode absolutely brilliant and it was mega comfy

Bought my Triumph Explorer XRX from Matt and Amy last year. Superbly presented motorcycle and an absolute five star buying experience. Clutch issue after approx 1000 miles (not the fault of MWM) was rectified without any problems. And as you say, you won't find a tidier showroom.

This modern take on the old Beeza is not a bad attempt . Baring the indicators & mirrors there is not much sign of it being a budget bike . They seem to be getting compared to the RE 650 twins ,by many reviewers ,which I reckon is pointless as they are a single & a totally different beast . They should sell well if they turn out to be as reliable as they appear ,look ideal for a run out in the sticks for a pint of shandy in nice country pub in summer . Good to see you both out ,dealer looks to have the right attitude which is getting to be a rarity ,pity about the crap weather ,but Spring is only a couple of months away .👍

What a little gem of a bike dealership hidden away off the beaten track. It's good to see Faye in better health and back to her more bubbly self. The Gold Star did well chugging along well laden in not the best of conditions. It's always a bit of a disappointment when you plan a coffee break and the café is closed, especially when you want a break from the cold and wet. It's a pity the BSA was a bit tall for Faye, it would have been quite entertaining to watch her ride with yourself Shaun as pillion. Not such a good idea though if you can't flat foot to stabilise the weight 🙄

@TinsonTour

Haha tbh it was the plan for Faye to ride it but as always even with her ladystar boots it was just a touch to big ( with the insurance excess anyway )

Sean, stop this and stop it now! I saw the look in your eye as you walked into the workshop and saw the GS on the ramp, it was the look of a man who had previously dumped his girlfriend on a whim / tantrum and then met her again only to realise how wrong he’d been to have done it😔. Watching you ride off on that BSA - a wanna be bike of the past and toooo small, well I shed a tear. You and Faye all bunched up on the seat trying your best to be excited but not at all convincing to yourself or me. I remember a time when I watched your tours - clue being in the titles - Tins on Tour, the pair of you on the BMW, a Lion & Lioness - a presence to behold and of the moment - not someone out on take away run deliveries! I hope and prey (though as a rule, I’m not religious) that you find your way out of the delusion you are in and return to the one and only true faith - BMW Adventure Biking. Until that day, my peace be with you on the journey back. PS, give my regards to Faye. Martin
