streetmoto 0 Posted October 1, 2010 HelloHad a Bonneville for the day when my Street Triple was being serviced.good fun once I got used to not revving the nuts of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 1, 2010 That bike likes you riding it like that, it needs a high rev range. Brillant bike just love it, looking forward to having a look at the new 800 Tiger though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonzo-b 0 Posted October 1, 2010 hahaha... bike long gone, would buy her back in a second if i could find her Not far from you, i'm out Wantage way ... do you get over H`s Diner at Dorchester at all ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 1, 2010 I do occasionaly get out over to H's cafe, but no one ever really talks to me. Only men over the age of 60 that used to have a Bonnie I sometimes take myself off on a Saturday (skiving off of work) and go for a ride and end up having a cup of coffee there before coming home. I like the Wantage road, its rather nice, I often head out over your way for a bimble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonzo-b 0 Posted October 1, 2010 hahaha...easy tiger.... only 52 (going on 18) back roads through boars hill n sandford are good fun too, but beyond wantage to white horse hill n hungerford/marlborough way are much better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted October 1, 2010 I wasn't implying for one moment that you where I've done that Hungerford route a few times, its a nice road. I sometimes take myself off around Marlborough and out that way. Its all nice around this way, you just have to get lost occasionaly to find great places. The only down side is with my memory I forget where I've been most of the time, but it makes for and interesting ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
