Almost a year since I bought Buddy, the Triumph Bonneville T100 so I thought a little update was in order. The fund raising for Men’s Mental Health and Prostate Cancer is going well but as you know enough is never enough so if you haven’t already donated please do so.

Good morning TAYM and very well done. Best wishes.
Nice one TAYM very interesting stuff there one thing I will say is getting old sucks and it initially creeps up on one but gets to a point were all of a sudden one is overwhelmed and indeed taken aback buy just how fast time go's , so the term " life is to short " really really is true don't worry don't stress about what might be going to happen just enjoy every moment in the now put nothing off enjoy the bike you want just get it and let tomorrow take care of itself . I had an illness and I let it get me down for a good few years and those years were wasted years I won't get back . So take it from one who knows life is very short don't put anything off you don't have to and enjoy everything 😉 Buddy is a fabulous looking bike and my eyes have been opened on the Interceptor front there. I respect to you and all who put themselves out to raise money for this most important of causes which are so relevant to todays life here in the UK 😊👌👍
That was a real goodun mate, a public good, and hopefully one day we'll "Triumph" over those serious medical and psychological issues. DGR is a great start.
Nice video as usual. I don't have many regrets in my life but I rode when I was a teenager and then life came along. My father rode and it's a shame that he moved a thousand miles away and we really didn't have that connection. But that's the way it goes.
I didn't ride again until 41 years later, about 3 years ago, and I love it. I'd rather be on the motorcycle than almost anything else.
I've had my prostate worked on about 3 years ago and thankfully dodged the cancer. I'm very fortunate.
But I try to get up every day and in a positive mood and do what I want. One never knows when it'll all be over.
Well enough of that!😅😅😅
Volvo drivers!! 🫤
Gosh you crammed a lot into that mutter many worthy topics, marvellous 😀 Happy Birthday Buddy 🎉🎊🎂🎁🎈 it's great that he brings so much joy to yourself and Mrs TAYM 😃😀😁
What a magnificent motorcycle Mr TAYM. Motorcycles are a link to my parents as well, though my Dad was into the Japanese bikes with his final motorcycle being a 1977 Honda 750 Super Sport. When I was really young he and his best friend had matching Bridgestone Motorcycles. I can't remember the engine displacement. His next bike was a Yamaha 125 Enduro (we'd cal them dual Sports today,) and it became my second motorcycle after my lil Yamaha 60. Then he bought the 77 Honda new. He only put 500 miles on it got scared and parked it. I'd love to have all three of those bikes in my garage today.
he also told me stories of riding my Mom around on a Harley before they adopted me and her shoe getting oil in it as they rode. I love Harleys but I guess the oil leaking issues have been around for a long time. lol
I'll say it for you….. "F****g Volvo! 😂😂
As for the Old Bonneville Vs Interceptor (not a) comparison… Let me just say that when my work mate and very good buddy asked me why I bought my T120 when I could have had an Interceptor (like his) for nearly £5000 less, I simply said the Interceptor is nearly £5000 less of a bike, then I let him ride my T120 and he said oh bugger I couldn't argue with that! 😂😂😂😂
Marvellous mutter TAYM, fantastic the connection that bikes can provide us with other people and memories. The mental health aspect of bikes can never be overestimated I ride alone very often just to clear my head and spend a few hours without interruption in my happy place just me and the bike. Talking of which that is exactly what I've been doing today putting some miles on the T120 and I've sent you an email about it.
Hi TAYM beautiful bike you have I’ve never a triumph but w en I seen one of these I thought yes very nice 👍🙏
Your friend should just buy a smaller lighter bike – there are lots of decent small light bikes out there. I have my FJR1300 which is a heavy beast but I also have a Ninja 400 which weights nothing by comparison and with around 45-50HP is pretty fast – the only downside is the higher revving engine is buzzy for cruising any kind of distance at speed. . . . .hence the FJR.
