Hi all...I started out with a Suzuki GS500F and then moved on to my "dream bike," a 2004 Triumph Bonneville T100. I love it! Great handling bike with an awesome vintage look. My son loves it too...that's him on the bike in the driveway. He's 5, so it'll be a while before he's on a bike that's doing ...

2004 Suzuki GS500F, bought new in Feb 2005, traded in April 2006.

I got everything ready for the wash and then got on the bike to walk it back out of the garage onto the driveway. Since I wasn't riding, I ...

I had a 2004 GS500F as my first bike. It was a great bike...fairly light, quite forgiving, and pretty decent-looking, if that matters.

Current Triumphs have the controls on the usual sides...brakes on the right, clutch and gearshift on the left.

I'm 38 and still have not gotten up the nerve to tell my Mom I have a motorcycle!! I'm just waiting for the day when my 3-year-old spills the beans about "Mommy's motorcycle"...
