Back in '78 I bought a '67 Bonneville for $400 I owned that motorcycle the longest, like 23 years. Great bike.

I'm glad you're happy with the trade. That was one of the coolest Dyna's ever. It was like the Dyna Road King. Haha.

Yes it was!

So glad you got my bike man. Happy to see it goto someone who will treat it right and can't wait to see what you do to it to make it your own. I learn to ride on that bike and had many years of traveling with my girl. Lots of memories hit me this morning watching it. We've got to take both bikes out on a ride at some point. Hope you like what I do with the Super Glide. I'm definitely enjoying it's unique personality.

From my 1951 Thunderbird with purple metal flake and 6 foot forks to my 2008 Speedmaster 865 they are were all a lot of fun

I like Triumph motorcycles but I think your friend got the better end of the deal.

My brother owned a 72 1/2 Bonneville he bought new. It was the first bike bigger than a CB 350 I rode. Loved riding that bike.

Not a bad idea

I’m glad you got a bike you love. Looking forward to seeing it evolve. Now the claim of the greatest is debatable. My vote goes to the post ‘09 Road King (TC 96 and 103). But don’t take my word for it. Just ask Mike Branch.

Awesome that you got the bike you want. Looking forward to seeing how you customize it. Best part is since you swapped title for title you won't get yelled at for spending more money on motorcycles. Always a plus when you keep the wife happy 😊

Nice job. Always fun and excited when you can make it your own.

My brand new 70 650 Bonnie ( in 1970) was the best feeling and looking bike I ever had. And to me the stock fat muffler with skinny tail pipes was the best "classic" part of the bike. $1200.00 and change out the door! Thanks, Weems, didn't know the history of 120 in T120. I assume same goes for the T100.

Never saw a Triumph I didn't like. Had a 1970 Bonneville custom chopper. Loved that bike but, always wanted a stock Bonneville.

I loved my sportster 1200. I adore my t120

Wish I knew, I would definitely have swapped my 2016 t100 black.

I wish I had my leaky old Tiger back.

Red tank with silver accents, and a black rubber thigh tank grips.

If I was to come across a triumph, what year is good and what is not so good. Looking for a rider not a collector. Congratulations on your new to you triumph and I am looking forward to seeing your videos. Be safe

Fun Bike Center Motorsports 1845 E Memorial Blvd, Lakeland, Florida, United States of America 33801 Just TRY the Interceptor 650! Many bike industry commentators say it's BETTER than the Hinckley Triumphs! (I live 40 minutes from Hinckley! ...and 60 mins from the Royal Enfield Development Centre!))

It'll be cool to see what you can do to make it look vintage. I'd paint it using a color combo from an early Bonneville. Lots to choose from. The silver is fine, but it's a little boring.

Your enthusiasm for the bike is commendable but, ( don't ya hate it when but.... gets in the conversation )... walk up to a group of motorcyclists at any event and ask.. " what's the greatest bike of all time ". This 08' Triumph has the " lines..look " that bring the 68' Bonnie to mind. Every manufacturer has their hits and misses... Triumphs " Rocket 3 " is No. 2 on my most ugly motorcycle .... it fits with the other implements on machinery hill at any county fair. So, what did that group of motorcyclists say ...... ? I know because it's parked downstairs. 🤭
