I've been reading frequent discussions on riding safety online at a motorcycle forum. I am no expert, but I have a few miles of riding under my belt and I thought I would post my thoughts.

I had diligently researched my next bike and had watched patiently for the last couple years for just the right deal to come along. My next bike would be a Triumph Bonneville, preferably an SE or a T100, with a strong lean towards the T100, with its old school looks.

 At some point for each rider it's good to know; is it the ride or the bike? Neither answer is incorrect, but it is good to know the answer for oneself and not be self-deluded into believing it's the opposite.
