January Bike of the Month

[BluesRider]

First BOTM for 2010 goes to Jimi X for his super clean T100. His very traditional looking machine shows that Triumph got the look right the first time,and there's no denying that she's a beauty!

Congrats Tony! Got any more pics?

Cheers!
Bruce

Hail Jimi X - and your classic looking Bonneville!

[Jimi X]

I am not worthy, I am not worthy,....Thanks guys! My baby has run absolutely dependable since date of purchase. Bill and I both ordered our bikes before even seeing the product in the flesh. BUT,...I have to come clean. She is actually a "2001 Bonneville". I added the tach as a kit and all the safety chrome. I changed the cans to TORS,...(I know, lets not go there) and opened up the airbox and rejetted, (lets not go there either). It easily does the ton and will hit the limiter in 5th, if you lay down on her with your toes over the rear pegs.

I'm satisfied as all get out with my Bonneville and seeing her as bike of the month,...Makes me feel even better. Thanks again!

A worthy winner - nice and tastefully modded for a ton-up hooligan

[teebee]

It's a gorgeous bike, and a worthy winner. Tell us, did you do the pinstripes on the fenders yourself?

[Jimi X]

Ya, I cheaped out. It is not painted just taped. Although it gives me the option of tearing it off every year or two and reapplying fresh again. I only replace it at the ends of the fenders, especially the front. Gets hit with grit and stones and after 2 years it is visably damaged.

Classy looking bike Jimi, well deserved!

[canuck]

I rode with Jimi last spring and Haggis and another chap from the RAT forum. ( speed triple had to limp home )
He rides that bike pretty hard and keeping up is a task.
We all parked at this little town's cafe and enjoyed a java and admired the row of triumphs ( 3 Bonnies and a Thrux ) on the street, his is a real beauty
Can't wait to follow his tail light through some twisties again this year.
Good on ya Jimi for the bike of the month !!!!

Cheers!
