Hi i'm Dave. I'm from Pamphill in Dorset. I've been lurking reading the threads. Decided its time to introduce myself. I currently ride a Triumph Bonneville. Which i picked up last Saturday. Already done 200 miles :) . My previous bikes are Triumph Trident 750 (1992), Triumph Thruxton (2007). I see theres a few riders from Dorset. Which is great. I would come on the ride out this Sunday. But i'm still running my engine in.

Yeah get posting, cool bike btw... interesting how they made the injectors look like carbs'. Could never justify so much chrome though, too much hard work.

Smiler; Doozers. I couldn't remember so i wikipedia'ed it.

Yeah it is interesting how they did that. Mine is actually an 07 bike on an 08 plate. I got a killer deal. I prefer carburettors. Easier to work on. Can work on them at home. In my experience smoother to ride. Plus you can fine tune them alot more. I am a modder. My bike never stays stock for long! Already got Wassell T120 Hickley Bonneville mufflers on the way.

Welcome to SWB :D

We've got a bonny in work at the mo that we've sent the head of for gas flowing. Got aftermarket pipes on as well, I'll find out which ones. All back togeher now. Sounds sweet and pulls like a train 8)

I'm not the one who's been working on it but the guy who is has been putting a lot of work into it. If you would like more info don't hesitate to contact Taylors Motorcycles on 01460 72318 :D

Hi Mike. Yeah would be great if you found out. Thanks for the number and information. I've already got Wassell mufflers on the way for my bike as they apperently sound the best and flow very well.

Yeah i'm thinking of doing alot to my bike.

So far i'm going to do this for added performance. Put an Bella corse airbox removal kit on(fit kn filters),air injection removal kit, Keihin FCR 39mm racing carbs,gas flowed head,Hagon front fork springs,Hagon rear shocks,front brake kit.

For looks Jenks Chrome front and rear mud guards. Lucas rear light and indicators front and back. Fork gaitors. National cycle fly screen. And probably a black cafe racer seat of some kind.
