Silvie the Triumph Bonneville T120 has been my stalwart companion over the last few years, but if I want to continue to have great adventures together in the future I need to make some additions to lighten the load.
So there are some changes afoot to ensure that Silvie and I have many miles ahead of us; this is the first part of my plans, but only after I took her out for a ride in the sun.

Oh!!! Looks like you’re joining us with a Bonneville and a 350 Enfield 😂 two classic bikes that have their own place, you’re really going to have a ball, looking forward to seeing it, all the best buddy 👍

Hi Matt, I’ve been offline for a bit, big changes in my life, positive ones, and am eagerly looking forward to your new ride. What a garage! I had an orange 74 westy, and will finally be back in the saddle on July 1st. I’m getting an 07 tiger 1050, from a bike mechanic, so you can imagine how mint it is, then at the end of July I’m off to northern Italy on it. Have a great weekend Matt. ✌️

@ClassicRides 25 күн бұрын

Hi Jer, it's good to hear that things are on the up for you, and only a few days until you'll be out on your Tiger (I hope the nice weather returns by then!). I wish the garage was mine, there's some very lovely vehicles in there!

Love your Bonnie but looking forward to seeing what youve bought. It looks like a coming trend where bikers are downsizing and realising the joys to be had on a smaller capacity machine. Great video Matt, thanks.

@ClassicRides 29 күн бұрын

I think for the majority of riding engine size isn’t so important, but these two bikes have very different characters so I think they’ll make good stablemates.

@mattlindsey9242 27 күн бұрын

The shop sequence is cool. I love that style. Not huge on getting a smaller iteration of the same sryle bike. The 400 scrambler would have fit better maybe (my opinion only). These vids are great in the morning before work.

@ClassicRides 26 күн бұрын

Thanks Matt, though I disagree on a 400 Scrambler being the better option. I've never really liked the styling of Triumph's scrambler range as it's a of bit a confused design to me, trying to be retro and modern at the same time while not really achieving either. The bike I got has a more authentic style and has a completely different character than the big twin, I think it's a good stablemate.

@mattlindsey9242 26 күн бұрын

@ClassicRides on that we agree. I have never understood the allure of the scrambler or dessert sled. Though I've never owned one, so it's not a fair comment on my behalf. Seems like you mix in mild off pavement duty and assumed a transalp was too modern. Nonetheless I look forward to future videos. Great work.

Hi Matt, always good content. Love the outfit of your bike...it all add's up like one pieceof harmony...I was wondering what kind of goggles u are wearing. I just bought some, but they create a bit of turbulance. Yours seem minimalistic with fewer edges...It might do the trick as I like my rides quiet if that makes sense :-)

@ClassicRides 24 күн бұрын

Thanks Maarten, the goggles are from Ethen, I’m afraid I don’t remember the model name but you can find them on Urban Rider’s website in the goggle section. I really like them, would definitely recommend 👌

The place you parked you bike looks interesting....the Willys Jeep Caught my eye.....was it the carding shed??? Can I ask Matt.....the tank rack you have.....I have just bought one for my 2020 T100 just to clip my hand drawn maps to..... But I dont want it on the tank all the time. Not tried it on my tank yes as I fear it damaging the paint.....THOSE SUCKERS ARE MIGHTY STRONG. How do you get your off Matt with out pulling chunks of paint off the tank.

@ClassicRides 29 күн бұрын

I don’t think it’d pull your paint off Nick, I’ve yanked mine off a few times and it’s been ok. If you’re worried though I guess I’d try getting a fingernail inside the edges of suckers and try to release the vacuum.

Thanks Gary, the helmet is from Hedon with Ethen Goggles and a Biltwell peak. The T120 can be a bit pricey on servicing, but like any bike you could get it done a lot cheaper at an independent garage or by doing it yourself.
