Charley Boorman's Down & Out Triumph T120 Bonneville 

You forgot to fire it up for god sakes so we could hear it

very cavalier

Very nice Charley. That bike looks sharp. Wish we could have heard it though.

Very nice. I particularly like the exhausts. I wonder how it handles with that 150 section front tyre. Good to see Charlie.

Charley is the reason for me wanting to do my trip around the world as many other people i am sure!

Nice film.. and he always seem a nice fellow. I enjoyed that. Thank you. WF

Great video! I'm rewatching Long Way Round AND just put the deposit on my T120 so this was right up my alley.

what is it about your average human of this generation that makes them take the Cat etc out for more performance, its not like theyre underpowered to start with . . so fck the planet comes out loud and clear . . . just saying.

I bought a kit from d&o for a bmw r100 I built, absolute quality 👍🏼 must say bmw make a much better scrambler !

That colour!! is the same as my divvy! gets noticed.. er nice looking bike overall too.

Are we gonna get another adventure series from charlie soon?

What a nice build, might have to steal some ideas for my future bonnie. Would love to see what else Mr Boorman has in his garage

Nice looking Bike. Always liked Charley since Long way round.

Beautiful Charley , but a bit more detail would be nice, and a start up to listen to those pipes. Is it based on the air cooled scrambler? Can’t quite see.

we never got to hear it tho :(

Beautiful mod. Very nice Charley

Call me crazy, but I like this bike.

7:36....thanks Charley....your endorsement of the Street Twin rings true, a very happy first purchase and looking forward to making some changes to personalise it (as soon as we're all allowed out again...)

Interesting bike build. I like that Ohlin can be blacked out now. I'm looking really hard at the T120 to fill out my stable, this video gives me some ideas to nic B-)

Looks good from Marty Feldmans love child

What is the brand of your front fork clamp & and the handle bar?? 😊

This is why I read comments first. No start...no watch.

They have normal sized torso's and baby sized legs.

Nicest bike I've seen on this channel, looks awesome.

This is a piece of art

No Cat converter?, you wild crazy guys.

Nice.

With heaps of electrical issues too 😅

Where do you get the side panels?

Fer chrissakes...let us HEAR it!!

Shadowing over here ...hawking over there!

No throttle cable???....Are you crazy???

Charley thicc af

Did I miss it or are there no mirrors?

Hi what is the size ot rim & tire??

Would've been good to hear it

We re-watch the entire Long Way series every year. This year, I bought my Triumph T120. The more I watch it, the more and more I love Charley more and Ewan less (still love Ewan, always)! I definitely like Charley’s taste in bikes! This orange custom T120 is the what started my search for my current bike, I watched that part of (whichever one it was that featured this one) over and over, wondering what it was. Mine is stock and I still love it!

Looks good and I know Charley is going for a certain style but I would be thinking that after his last accident he would be fitting the best road tyres available. How would the steering feel with that large front tyre?

Form over function.

:-) looks great!

Was half way through building my cafe/street fighter style Street Twin. Then I saw this and the BAAK Tracker.... What an expensive discovery that was... FML

Have the bike washed ,dried ,and sent to my room ,..........i will spend many hours of pleasure with her!!!!

I had Bonneville 2014 model. I loved that bike, I even made a lot of off-roading on stock (street) tires. But it was damn low. All my bash plate was completely scratched on street humps (speed breakers).

How much did this cost? Beautiful bike

No sound ??? ;-(

Love the color!

I see some fantastic bikes coming out from triumph,I use to ride an old Bonny in the seventy,I could just touch the the ground Then with a little alteration to the suspension, but now I’m not so sure the bobber was ok but the Bonny not so if it could be lowered A bit and my be some larger boots with a bit moor in the toe I could touch the ground a bit better, I am only 5;2 short inside leg. I miss the days when I could ride a bike,but these days I am limited to size and cc,the big and better and more impressive machines Are out off reach,so for me the little kiddy’s bikes wound not do, I am looking at a 320cc Yamaha at the moment, a starter bike and For seat height,but still limited to what I can ride, but it’s the Bonney I miss. So any ideas that could help.?

Splodge 57 Triumph passed worrying about other manufacturers years ago, to say stick to bonnevilles (street triple, speed triple, rocket 3 ,thunderbird!!)need i go on? GS with a pre wwll flat twin engine, need i say more?

I like charlie...

Is this the stock headlight bucket fitted with the Down & Out stainless steel 41mm headlight brackets?

Nice. Big fan of tkcs. Mentioned sunbeam which is nice as I've just bought one😊

Down and out!?!..sure is down and out for building something like that ,but to each their own .✌✌!!

If you are ever in Washington DC please stop by DC Triumph!

I like the interviews they do but would like to give a suggestion. My suggestion is to let followers sometimes listen to the motorcycles to get a sense of how machines work ...

Loving those "nut" indicators. Anyone know where you can buy them from?

The world's most dangerous private roads

That is the most beautiful bike in the world.

Hi all - did this start as a standard t120 or the scrambler?

I'm a little bummed we didn't get to hear him fire it up.

It looks good but it is surely not a lot of fun to ride it.

Charley should have a tv show like this.

I waited till the end to hear how the bike sounds

Gotta go now, school in the morning....

😮👍🏽

Ufffff! On fire 🔥 gorgeous. 👍🏽

Another brilliant bike!

The front wheel doesn't appeal but the rest is pure class. Especially loving the colour

Oh yea 👍🏼🖖🏼🏍✌️

Let's get it tested ! ! lots of blah blah ETC etc 😅 Charlie left BMW now he is getting paid by triumph . he's a clever guy ! blah blah. can you get it fixed in Mongolia, Russia etc etc

15 years ago when I got back into motorcycling I purchased a new Bonneville and it was so cool, everywhere I went people were stopping me and commenting on the bike, even in traffic windows went down and more comments, I was elated at my choice of a bike. About 3 weeks later after I realized how I would take it to top speed in every gear I was bored and especially on freeways when other bikes would blow by me at 100mph + speeds. I knew I wanted much more of a bike. I had bought a bike based on looks and not performance. That is why people buy Harley's. 4 months later in the dead of winter I test rode a BMW 4 cyl K1200RS and I went, oh my god, this is the bike I should have bought. I just didn't know at the time because I was new to biking. It is now 15 years later and I have the R1200RT and every time I pass a car at triple their speed in supreme comfort on a freeway I still go oh my god! Don't buy a bike just because it looks cool. Buy it for what it does and how it does it, BMW.

Those cant be road tyres surely ? wont get much grip from them on a wet monday morning in the city, oh wait, silly me

Oh God. This generic cookie cutter hipster/hipster bike package deal is going to look like platform shoes in about 5 years...

Charley boormans done fuck all. Hes just dropped 30k on a nice bike from down and out. He doesnt even sound like he knows anything about it.
