Triumph Bonneville
I traded with one of my students for the short ride from the Navy schoolhouse to the museum on base.
Who knew!? I found myself wishing the museum was 50 miles away instead of 5. The throttle response was smooth, smooth, smooth. I thought I wouldn't like the riding position but it seemed just right for the feeling I had (I wanted to find some twisties RIGHT NOW! Then there was my bike, right behind me to the right...loud as f*ck and annoying as hell. One twist of the throttle and I could have ditched her... tee hee hee Time to expand my horizons I guess... BTW: Whoever recommended TPG glacier gloves for cold weather riding....they don't work. My fingers ffffroze on a short 26 mile ride. So much for that $80.

As promised, here are a couple pictures of the bike I got to ride. Great fun. I may have to look at something other than a cruiser for my next bike. Not that I don't LOVE my bike you understand!
