My first big bike was a t140e,1987 devon bonnie, came from a 125 on to it,that triumph had some good poke,handed great,once following a vmax rider tru some bends he couldn't shake the great handling bonnie off lol Shame the new triumphs no longer sound like a triumph, due to triumph ditching the 360 degree firing order😢
I just installed the same windscreen on my Bonneville with the angle all the way against the tach/rpm gauges. Bear in mind that I wear ear plugs but I honestly dis not feel.any buffeting. I'm 5'11", medium build, etc. Not sure why but so far it's worked well for me on top of getting rid of the wind blast off my chest and shoulders.
Had one same year same Lincoln green over silver rode it for 2 years started first kick only let it go because I crashed into unlit roadworks and busted head now I would fix then I was skint
Nice bike, I had a 69 T100R until recently, with twin carbs but otherwise looked the same. Great bikes. I see you added some custom parts and it would be interesting to know what you added?
Hola a todos , Soy de Argentina , Mendoza, la verdad que hermosas motos , talvez seré antiguo , que placer es conducir estás motos , Yo me encantaría volver a poseerla.
@@user-fz8fy4zl1c hi Michael, sorry to hear the bike isn’t suited to your uncle, an electric start bike is what he needs by the sound of it. If I can help you or Eddie with anything to sell it on, please let me know.
I had the same issue too! On my t120. Am 6’ 2”. I might have to hang on a bit more above 65mph-but most of my riding is below 70, so no wind helmet/buffet noise now in the 35-70 range.
Those are some cool scooters!!! Yes, shouldn't be a problem to keep up, speed is kept to a minimum for the vintage bikes and there's plenty of stops to allow everyone to regroup.
Why do I find your video after this thing has already arrived in the mail lol? Hope that nothing bad is gonna happen since I’m relatively shorter than you and mine is a Ducati Scrambler so it may differ a bit.
@@CyrilHelnwein Update: It does block wind. Some whistling sound is noticed but I can live with it. But it seems to affect the handling a little bit when going 100km/h (60mph), kinda giving me an unstable feel when going straight.
@@hanoiscrambler drive slower then 😂 jokes aside, what is happening when you ride at 100kmh? Shaking steering? I highly doubt a flyscreen will affect the handling of the bike, that can be caused by worn tyres, wrong type of tyres for the road, incorrectly set up suspension, wheel bearings worn out, etc., etc. Try riding the same road and conditions with and without the screen, then you’ll see the real difference.
Beside that unpleasant (!) music, this video kindly helped me to discover a place in IR I never heard before. Such a beautiful town! Some old Classic bikes, I love them. Thank You
Hi Cyril nice to meet you in M50 today. I'll google your Dad and I have subscribed here and separately on phone. Had nice spin over Wicklow mountains as well.
A great review and I can absolutely confirm this. I had bought a Dart flyscreen for my Bonneville Bobber and experienced the same issue, sold it again after 50 km. When I bought my Scrambler 1200 I went for the original Triumph flyscreen but once again had the same issue, took it off after the ride home from the dealership since the noise and bobbing was unbearable. I do love the looks of flyscreens, but they are unbearable for me - side note: I'm about 182 cm tall, short legs and tall upper body.
It's a small fly screen; different from a windscreen It helps redirect the wind (bugs) away from your chest. You must sit behind a wider and taller screen if you want full coverage.
Well done that man. I'm only here because I have been looking at a screwn for my 98 TBS. I think I will forget about a screen, I've gone 66yrs without one, a few more won't hurt.👍
