Well that's it my 14 is as good as gone, trading it in for a Hinckley Bonnie! I'll definitely be sad to part with the old girl though as she's been by far the best bike I've ever owned with immense power and I got her looking exactly how I wanted. In a way though I am looking forward to picking up the Bonnie as it's much smaller and lighter which I now need and she's pretty nimble around the local lanes too :) I'm not giving up my old ways though as I might not have the bike here yet but I have already got a set of loud pipes and some silly wide handlebars ready to fit, a new cutting disc in the angle grinder, and some ideas about new paintwork  :grin: :grin: :grin:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

A sad day but a happy one too - enjoy the Bonnie Dave, fantastic piece of machinery.

Cheers,

Essex, i love bonnies. the old ones were a pain but modern are just nice. they are like 14, need lots of up keep on exterior bits. new thruxton is my favourite looker, just beautiful. will go down in history as a most beautiful, like 900ss, k2 honda, laverda jota, triumph hurricane, black commando. its just so nice. 

essexboydave

Cheers all  :) I'll still be around here and I'll be at MCR too, expect pics when I pick the bike up which will probably be followed by pics of it in bits lol  ;)

Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Wishing you luck and good times with your new ride.

Sometimes I suppose you have to do the right thing and let go.
