Stories of Bike EP6: Chemistry (A '09 Triumph Bonneville Story)

Combine all the elements that make motorcycling great: the sights, the sounds, the smells, the sun on your face, the people you meet and it makes for an intoxicating chemistry.
It's the kind of chemistry that this 2009 Triumph Bonneville owner discovered as a boy and has been hooked on ever since.

[@johnspencer8038]

I'm 64. I''ve been riding for 50yrs. I don't know how many bikes I''ve had. I'm on a 2011 Harley StreetBob now. The 1.before HD, Was an.' 01 Bonneville. I'm going on my first." Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride," in September. Look it up on KZbin. It's WORLDWIDE.

[@moose09876]

The sound of that bike + the handlebars/setup is fantastic.

[@gzone11ify]

This Bonne is probably one of the smartest builds I've seen. Simple clean Lines with beautiful character. It truly inspired me, I'm going to be purchasing my first Triumph this Spring and will use this Bike as my inspiration. The little details throughout the bike are well thought out, I even like how he used the number plate to incorporated the year he was born. This miniseries is hands down just awesome. Thanks for the post of this wonderful series. Cant wait for more. Can't wait for my new Triumph Custom Build this spring.

[@danilocapellan1316]

Beautiful work with that motorcycle. 👍🏼

[@alexdb77]

I can relate so much to that feeling of looking forward to the daily commute .. Stunning Bike. Cheers!

[@yamaharider808]

[@hachewie]

That’s a lovely Bonnie

[@MrLankruza]

It took me 40 years to realise I was alive too

[@manolisko8881]

Love the smell of gasoline and women's perfume combined

[@mikelee1923]

Iam approaching 58 and ride a 1050 speed triple and Iam from the uk. Recently visited my son who lives in Sidney and totally agree it’s an awesome place to live. Keep up the good work fellas as I love the vids. Ride safe 👍

[@hawkrider88]

One great looking bike!

[@mp829]

This is by far one of the best Bonne I have seen. Minimalistic and clean design. Great video 👍

[@268gam]

Immaculate bike!

[@bellamycmr]

Thanks Ricky, nice to be appreciated and best of luck with yours. Carl.

[@johntruman6571]

Beautiful bike, lovely video! Awesome stuff!

[@Kronx1970]

[@VagabondGuide]

This is an awesome series! Keep it up and I'll keep watching!

[@shaneenerson8418]

I love how his bike looked

[@interestingbiker4368]

Great bike, great city.

[@jetcarddude]

Love riding my Bonneville T100, even to work......

[@tobynyc]

Great Video Series I must say. I lived in Sydney for a couple of years had a XJR-1300 but I'm living here in Vietnam Now building and living bikes I really enjoyed the Vietnam bit. Well wear on the bike.

[@ibadi45]

Excellent video. He expressed great ideas about the feeling of riding a bike and enjoying a positive life.

[@patstevo]

This is great, very well done!

[@kasperstougard8459]

Oh, I had missed that it was already out! You've done an awesome job once again, can't wait for the next one! And well, that Bonnie is a beautiful beast! I wanted to go live in Sydney when I watched this..

[@Maxh0506]

Please keep making these

[@truthhunter46]

I feel ya brother! ah ah.. I am in grey Britain, ALWAYS raining but just had a few months of sun and been out most days on my 05 bonny [carb model, last of the real motorcycles] NOTHING feels better than cruzzin on ya bike in the sun in t shirt and half face helmet eh? I feel young and cool again BUT now the season is changing its time to feel old and achey!! BUT at least we can go in garage with a hot drink and dream of the sun.. I would love to live in a warm country. ride safe brother.

[@orangelion03]

Sweet Bonnie build. I built a 2004 Street Triple as a track bike (see image....my number is my age and that was taken a few years ago), but I seriously considered one of their twins as the base...going for a vintage racer look and that twin-boomer sound. I love the song of my triple (Zard cone) at full tilt, but the twins just sound like a boss.

[@joemartin6491]

Great video!

[@FlashMobProduction]

perfect now! thx!

[@03bonneville]

Nice bits

[@jackchristodoulou197]

Any day on a Bonnie is a good day love my T120

[@nermket4849]

The woman smiles and he just sits there like a grumpy old man lmao

[@martinsinclair55]

Coming soon to Dubai. The Beast.

[@therealkeal]

these are great! more of the sydney riders who build their own from scratch with a rough idea in their head an no apparent agenda though

[@ingridbaeyens8174]

sunny,sunny sunny weather ! here where i live in Belgium it's always raining ! if you want to ride your motorbike, you only have about 2 months to do it under the sun ! i'm tired of that rainy weather ! i need to go and ride to a place where the sun shines more than a month a year !

[@longnguyenhong]

Greeting from Vietnam! It’s cool to know you’ve been enjoy riding Northern Vietnam. Should come back and do the South - North like in TopGear :)

[@murrayfurze]

The smells are something I miss. Summer rain on hot tarmac. Don't get that even in a roofless car.

[@danilocapellan1316]

Nice 👍🏼

[@s.crambling3795]

Nice bike. Good story - and likewise, Vietnam would be brilliant.

[@KarAVF]

When will there be new episodes? Looking forward to it!

[@rocklobster112]

Friken love Bonneville's. Old or new they are fantastic

[@storiesofbike]

Okay!

[@denisshaw1]

I was giving him the thumbs up till he mentioned the words "Heat Wrap"...why would you make a good and well designed custom job suddenly look cheap and back-street? Bin 'em!

[@JamesMoreau]

Amazing footage! Beautiful. Guessing you guys are out of Australia as a few videos have been produced there?

[@bellamycmr]

I got the shorty leavers from Dime City Cycles.

[@Dorzun]

Excellent as always Cam.

[@storiesofbike]

Give me a few days and I'll see if I can get the captions going.

[@turbo311]

Really like that bike. The pretty blonde at the beginning also.

[@marstobruno]

what a handsome fellow at 5:36

[@Cannedbread17]

How can I do my hair like that dude? He looks cool as hell

[@storiesofbike]

Done! Let us know how we went with the translation.

[@KlimisK]

Hey! Great bike! Can anyone give us info on the handlebars? They are awesome!! Cheers!

[@pkskevbo]

awesome customization of a Bonnie - anyone know what bars are on it? looking to upgrade mine from the stock ones...

[@ZoneTelevision]

Says it all doesn't it.

[@CaptainLeftHook]

Can't say this video didn't effect me. Last year I bought a white Triumph Thruxton Ace SE and of course a white open face helmet.

[@FLY--wy2yi]

I'm now riding a new Triumph T120. Would love to get that jacket you are wearing in the video! Where did you get it? Thanks!

[@storiesofbike]

That's a bit harsh! Just because the edit implies that he's leaving in the morning, doesn't mean we shot it that way. Was actually closer to lunch when we shot that scene. Were you drunk when you posted that comment?

[@HugoTeixeiraMckoy]

Question:. what are those rear footpegs ?

[@mickerlou]

is that a jpr shorty lever? thanks

[@BoBBaB0oN]

im very interested about this kind of bike when i first read these 2 mangas, "worst" and "crows". where this team called "the front of armament" who looks realy cool with their bikes. i just knew the name of the bikes and realy work out for it. is there any tips for me ?

[@danilocapellan1316]

Nice motorcycle nice video, if you had a second motorcycle what would that be.?

[@bellamycmr]

I have a few vintage trail bikes and newer dual sport. Best to have a cool one for the city and a practical one for camping (DR650)

[@praveendm]

Urban biker ✌️

[@matthewmendoza6651]

@5:35 the guy with the backwards hat, anybody know what kind of jacket that is?

[@Morphinos]

guys, well done, "tips hat"

[@FUCKCOMMERCIALS]

Who makes that seat? thanks

[@supertramptran1896]

Wellcome to VietNam

[@OFNminikeyboard]

Does any one know what brand and specific model those handlebars are? I'm not a big fan of the stock ones, and cafe racer bars are killing my back! Please!

[@bellamycmr]

[@supersecularboypants]

The music is a little overpowering sometimes, but a great video nonetheless!

[@Comfortably0]

1:20 Gillette be like: Bruh not cool, not cool..

[@timwendt2999]

Wait a second. Is this the royaljordanian???? He has nearly the same voice like that guy in this video

[@dirtyronald]

It's nothing like it. For a start he's not Jordanian. He sounds English with an Australian twang.

[@bellamycmr]

Renthal Road Bars

[@FlashMobProduction]

Please can you activate the french subtitels?

[@manuelestevez91]

anyone know what pipes he has on the bike?

[@storiesofbike]

manuelestevez91 British Customs.

[@rexstuff4655]

How come women don't look like that anymore?

[@storiesofbike]

They do! You just gotta know where to look.

[@pocketsquareformat]

rexstuff I agree. Class & style have become obsolete...sadly.

[@rsediting679]

Bjaj vikrant v bike sam

[@TiagoRuivo]

can you please send me the song theme????? please?????

[@CamDamageable]

Hi Tiago, check the SoundCloud links in the description.

[@TiagoRuivo]

Cam Elkins thanks Cam!!!

[@CafeinasPat]

this video should be flagged for bike-pornography ... that bike is just pure sex

[@ronjones2385]

I see I'm late to the party but. Enjoyed the story but the back ground music was terrible. It makes understanding people that much harder.

[@anup2282]

The new doesn't have that old school charm or character certainly its reliable and doesn't breakdown but i find old school norton or triumph much better compared to new ones

[@toby621]

well i ride my harley in the country and all i can smell is dust and cow shit

[@prinsepe87]

Checks out women... marriage falls apart.... oh, and I ride a bike....

[@oo8663]

Half of the bikes in a DGR event in Australia are Harley Davidsons with heavily tattoed bogan riders. really ruined the DGR culture.
