When I saw Dennis E's 70 Bonneville listing and some of the comments I had to say something. I am now closer to 73 and read many of the comments from British bike lovers with a degree of sadness as I know from where they now come. I owned a new 66 Trophy in my teens and rode it a few years. One trip from my Pottstown, PA boarding school in late March for spring break took me to my NE PA home a distance of 125 miles. I had bought a rubber duck hunting suit. Temperature was about mid thirties. Darn near froze to death on that ride and remember riding behind a Trailways diesel for about fifty miles opting for diesel fumes over hypothermia. Anyway a few years ago I saw my now owned 70 Bonneville from a seller in CA who bought it from the nephew of the original owner who bought my US model from a dealer in England and rode it through England before having it shipped back to California. My bike was last ridden in 1998 by this owner due to Alzheimers. Dennis' comments about age and Thirdcliffs directly resonate with me. I can still kick start my Bonneville, but am darn careful as the right knee is on high mileage wear. Thirdcliff, I ride my Bonneville on Sunday mornings from my Summer home on the coast of Maine for the same reasons you cite. DennisE, your bike looks great with mine being close in condition and 100% original like yours. I have worked on a rebuilt the Amals myself as well as going through timing and valve clearance and my bike is still idling a little rough. Noted in your video that you had the rpms up some on the start up. If you don't mind, what RPM does yours run well at once warm? If I didn't have my 70 I would be after yours. I share your emotion at this parting...very difficult after 25 great years. I see those of us who road these young having great bonding and appreciation for these beautiful bikes. I don't care about the extra maintenance needs. These are just beautiful and harken back to a time when caf\u00e9 racing was the rage in England and the British were the revered builders of these stunning looking and handling bikes.

Three different Lifting Handles, two different style faces on the gauges, Two different sets of horns(both were Clear Hooter brand), bikes after a certain point in May 70 had a change done in the transmission about the same time there was a change to the horn mounting.

With you having to part it is good to see that the selling point did it justice. I would say that you received an honest winning bid from Patrick. Your wheels alone are rare in their condition. Mine are real close. These original wheels don't exist like this without the bike being stored in an environmentally controlled environment its entire life. Beautiful bike and you deserved to be rewarded for the way you maintained it. One more point: I have seen some really nice late Bonnevilles fail to get buys at $8000 on the major online market place. This is a plug for BAT as this site seems to draw real serious bidders and owners of the items that come up.
