Gabbie on Grandad's Bike

Currently I am riding a Triumph Trophy 3 (900cc Sport Tourer). That is of course when I can get my granddaughter off it! I had been planning to get a Bonneville but when I came across my Trophy I knew the moment I saw it that was the right bike for me. This bike suits my personality and riding style perfectly. I still want to get a Bonnie, but now I want a classic one as a project bike. However before I get a second bike, I will need to get a garage where I can work on it. If I ever decide to sell this bike I will probably want a Sprint or the new Tiger. However the Rocket III would be very tempting if triked and rigged as a full tourer.

Diana rides a Honda SH300i motor scooter. This is a very modern machine complete with fuel injection, ABS and automatic transmission. Prior to this she was riding a Piaggio Zip 50 which served her well for many years of local commuting. The Honda has given her a much further range and higher top speed. If I take things gently, she is now able to keep up with me on longer rides.

This page has some links to motorcycle websites I have found interesting or helpful. The Triumph site has been included due to my own bias and allegiance to British made machines for which I make no apologies.
