Woohooooooo!!!! So excited! (incase you couldn't tell) :wink:
It's an '05 Triumph Bonneville T100.

Stopped riding around my neighborhood for a bit and took some pics...
Man, i LOVE this color!

I haven't left my neigborhood yet. Took the MSF last weekend and got this bike delivered this past weekend. First bike so I'm taking it real slow. Lots of slow figure eights and emergency stop manuevers in parking lots, along with riding thru the neigborhood getting used to the bike and manuevering it thru slow controlled turns and stop sign intersections and the like. Having a ton of fun with no rush to go fast or jump into heavy traffic. And its a very easy bike to handle. 30" seat height. Power delivery is very smooth and controlled. And its very light for its class at 450lbs. Honda VLX's and Yamaha v-stars with smaller engines weigh more.
Anyway, just thought I'd share and thanks for answering my questions over the last couple months. :)

VERY pretty!

Now, you've planted a seed of a different bike in my mind for my first.......

Please keep us posted with your adventures.

Nice bike. That's looking real good. I need to get myself one.

Enjoy your new ride. Nice to see you're taking it slow. No need to rush anything. Soon you'll be riding all around the place, and having a good time.
