OT-Triumph Bonneville America

Anyone got experience of this bike or similar? My dad's just bought one and, since he's a short-arse like me, is struggling a bit. Any tips for handle bar or hanger mods such that he feels a bit more confident on it?

My niece has one and there is a lower damper setup for them. I don't know if it's a factory option or after market though.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Nice bike, me on a Kawasaki Drifter my bro on a Hardley Drives along and a buddy on a Bonny American did a big ride up to Applecross about 4 weeks ago, about 1100 miles over 3 days. My arse was dead after the first day, my bro was dead all over in the same time span, the guy on the bonny was as fresh as a daisy. Bearing in mind he'd come up from Southampton to Stoke the day before and carried on back home on the return leg it speaks volumes for the bike.

He quite often visits his lad at Uni in Loughborough goes for a ride out with him and returns on the same day tells you how comfortable the bike is although I think he has a gel saddle.
Cheers,
Bob
