After Jo's first ride on her new bike. And YES she's already complaining about

her messy hair. But by the end of the day she got used to it. Wrong! Ha!

Here it shows all the extra after-market dress-up items that I installed

on Jo's new bike for her: King/Queen seat, chrome clutch & brake &

shift levers, chrome headlight mounting brackets, aftermarket performance

mufflers, and chrome chain guard. More to come. Ha!

The Bonneville is perhaps the very essence to many people of what motorcycling is about – a relatively simple machine but one that provides maximum rider enjoyment and involvement. However some want a little more than the basic package and for this reason, and with a further nod to the past, the T100 (so called in honour of the legendary ’60s speedster) exists for those that want that little bit extra.

The T100 is based around the Bonneville package and uses the same throaty twin-cylinder engine and sure-footed chassis. But the T100, with its tachometer, rubber knee grips on the tank and chromed engine covers, is the very essence of style and individuality just as it was 40 years’ ago. All of the T100’s crisp coach lines are hand-painted as they were back then.

A supremely elegant two-tone black and white paint scheme is new for 2004 and provides a striking yet subtle alternative to the existing, stylish Goodwood Green / Aztec Gold or Sapphire Blue / White options (which is JoLeen's).

While fashions may come and go some things remain constant. The timeless T100 proudly does just that. NOTE: To see my previous 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120 GO HERE
