Worked at a couple truimph dealerships as a mechanic. The Bonneville has really grown into a great bike, good size to start with, and big enough to stay with. One thing I would tell people was they're an easy bike to live with. Completely turn key, fun to ride, and look great. You really don't get tired of them, they're fun, easy to ride, it's not a bike you really need to mentally prepare for when you're going out on a ride. Just big and strong enough to handle freeways, but fine in cities, not hard to handle at all. We sold tons of them. A set of nice pipes, some suspension upgrades and it's even better. There's good aftermarket support with them too. Just one of those bikes you'll just love having around.

I have a Triumph Street Twin (Bonneville) 900 cc. - 65 HP. Awesome bike, wonderful engine, I did some short trips (between 700 and 2000 km) with my wife, we loved her, it's a comfortable bike, good for cities too. I only feel some difference between her and the other two Honda bikes I have (Africa Twin and XRE 300 - it's an enduro bike sold in South America); the Honda have a better steering feeling, more intuitive and light, the Triumph is someway heavier on curves and a worse steering angle, but nothing terrible (883, V-Rod etc. are much, much worse LOL). I love the retro feeling she has, combined with a cool engine that gives you a lot of torque at low rpm, and a nice sound from her stock exhaust. And of course the analog panel is great.

The most common bike/car accident is a car making left turn at an intersection. A static, single light might get lost in back lights, or just blind to the mind. But a flashing light seems to be more noticeable, much like a flashing type brake light.

Someone coming from the opposite direction that flashes lights could mean "Your lights are not on" or "you have your high beams on" or "there's an accident or animals ahead" or when driving in the dark it's useful to flash a bit to let the driver in front of you know that you're going to overtake.

the flashing lights trigger is mandatory in many countries, since we have very very long roads with only one lane in each direction and you need to be able to signal when you are passing someone. also day runnig lights and coloured turn signals come from the same problem. for example, in some places trucks have one green light and one orange so you know at a lonh distance that a truck is coming your way, not just a regular car. cars have the same flashing feature

I see the accuracy is spot on as ever. The original Triumph Bonneville ceased production in 1983 when the business closed down. John Bloor set up a small business called Racing Spares and built the bike in Devon, England from 1985 - 88. Bloor then set up a completely new Triumph Motorcycles business in 2001, which continues to this day to produce a motorcycle called the Bonneville. The only thing it that links it to the previous machine and business is the name. But hey, let’s not let facts get in the way. Have you ever thought of doing some research Sean?
