- "It's a therapist in some ways, it kind of clears your head, you think of nothing else but how fast can I go and how tight can I hold on."
It's peak cold, windy weather time here in London at the The Bike Shed, but that doesn't stop 'Shed regular Gareth popping in on his Triumph Bonneville, nor should it.
It's been stripped back, tweaked and modified to make more unique with it's classy navy blue and gold colour styling throughout making it a real head-turner around London.
Gareth talks us through what's been done to the bike, what he does with it and what it means to him.
Great build. Love the gold accents and the exhaust wraps looks well ridden. Definitely agree with the therapy part of riding he touches on.
thanks bro
My bonnies been sat in the garage for a few months now with work needing doing to it, and I've been putting it off. This video has reignited my spark for getting it back in the road!
Alex Pryce that’s made my day!
I know this is an older video, but man, this is exactly what I want a triumph for, got a couple Harleys, which I do ride but I just want an everyday bike during the riding season that doesn’t give me anxiety with getting excessive wear and tear, and going down dirt trails within reason. Plus I’ve always loved them.
Triumph Bonneville worlds greatest motorcycle. Got a 2010 Blue and White SE with my retirement lump sum. Made the whole of my life worth the effort.
Motorcycles are therapists!.....#mindblown
Lovely bike man.
Not gonna lie, I've watched this video about 10 times now and I still can't get enough of this bike...
Loved the scratches on the bike, shows how much it is being used and not being kept as a trophy. No, those aren't scratches, those are war scars !! Really good bike !
faizan ansari thanks man!
Great bike! I wish Triumph still made a Bonneville like this... the simplicity and no BS of a proper, air cooled parallel twin. No radiator or other bits that clutter the look and feel of a true classic motorcycle. I will continue my search for an early 2000's Bonneville to add to my garage. My 2022 Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor is as close as one can get to a classic and genuine English designed bike. Simple, clean and a beautiful air cooled twin mounted in a simple and appropriate Harris chassis. If Triumph ever builds another Bonneville with an Air Cooled, clean set up like this, I will be waiting at the local dealer to buy one. Great video and your bike is clearly enjoyed as the wounds indicate. Well done!
Love everything about your bike! I have an 05 Bonneville Black I bought new and am turning over 30 grand on the odometer. Like you, I like the worn look of of my Bonneville. It reminds me of myself and the 67 years on my body and mind.
Jim S right on Jim!
Really enjoyed watching this. Lovely bike and great to hear how much pleasure it brings
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
the "scruffiness" on this moto is what gives it its "standout" character above other motos. It's beautiful & rugged, all in one. It's definitely an eye catcher in my book. My scrambler does not get its scratches buffed out as it adds character. A+ buddy!!!
As Plato, the Athenian philosopher in Ancient Greece, once said, “Now that is a motorcycle!”
good one
Walter Wilkins 🤟🏼
true story.i was there...
One of the best bonneville jobs I’ve seen yet. Well done!
Ilham Kabir thanks bro
This truly is the default silhouette of a 'classic bike'
n00bie 🤟🏼
This one bloody cool bike got me amazed, simple yet powerful
Black Dawn thanks man
Man, I think your bike is beautiful! All my best bikes are the ones I wasn't afraid to ride, beat up, modify, re-modify, drop, etc. I'd really like to get a T100 or Bonnie of some kind soon to do just that with. Thanks for sharing!
2Timone7 thanks mate! 🙌🏼
..." The ultimate freedom " - .... you' re so right! I feel, live and ride although! 👍. Very nice bike - thanks for The impressions, and greetings from rhineland pallatine, Germany! 😘. Harald .
Harald Albrecht ✌🏼
looks amazing sounds wonderful. nice build, mate!
Thomas Galih Satria thanks dude
Awesome build
Love it. Great paintwork. 👍
Black Tea One Sugar 👍🏼
I loved my old bonneville and wish I'd kept it. This bike makes you realise that a bike doesn't have to look good to look good! If you see what I mean?
Rob BikeBob I know what you mean 🤟🏼
Agreed
I don't get what you mean. It does look good without(trying) looking good🤗🙌🏾
@@expatbiker6598 now I'm confused!
I never liked those “ironing board” style seats but I can see the good components and hard work on this bike, nice paint job as well!!
thanks man
the seat is more comfy than it looks
Gareth Neville , just personal test, enjoy your bike mate it’s a great motorcycle!!
More like a loaf of bread IMO
Fantastic! Love the gold accents on this!
Karl Dawson 👍🏼
Really nice looking T100. The Navy Blue, black, & gold is quite sharp. Nice mods, and a fantastic Bonneville. Make me want a T100 even more now!
James Bongiovanni 👍🏼
Nice, great bue color and gloss strips
From Guzzi Gareth to Trumpet Gareth: lovely bike mate.
zork thanks mate
One of the best mods on bikeshed! 👌
Shahid Hussain you made my day 🙌🏼
Like you said, motorcycles are like therapists! 30 years on two wheels and nothing tops it, apart from having kids obviously.
franksie 73 👍🏼

thanks man, glad you like it
@@garethneville7247 👍👍👍😀😀😀
Wow love it. What bikes should be
John Ward 👍🏼
👏👏👏
The renthal handlebars.. are they the medium, high, low, ultra low or street fighter? Does anyone know? I can’t really tell and trying to get some for my bike but don’t wanna get ones that are too bent forward. More of a tracker style.
Thanks!
Sweet
Oh Man, i love this Bike :-)
If you love a Triumph Bonneville you should really check out the hilarious reviews by Marlon. Made me love Bonnevilles.
May I ask for the leather seat - which brand is it? Is this shorter than the original? Thnx!!
It’s a British Customs slammer
Sounds like a proper Triumph should!
Barry Roberts thanks mate!
Nice 👍🏼
Amazing machine; didn’t over complicate! Didn’t bastardize! 👍🏾
Jupiter Johnson 👍🏼
Nice bike xxden
You say ratty, I say the beauty is in the imperfection.
sym patico 🙌🏼
Right on!
Sounds cute
Colton Wancho 🤟🏼
I love it 👍🏼
Danilo Capellan 👍🏼
Sounds like my 2005, I've got a set of outbound slashed slip on s. I'm glad to see you kept the instrument cluster. I like the factory cluster of that era. Mines a bit more chromey , but I like the blacked out look too. Hey how does the headlight rock cage mount? Is it part of the cover ring? And I notice no brake light? Man with the way people drive, no way I'd have no brake light. Thanks man, ride safe.
early 790 cc the best triumphs .. no electric crap to go bad , slimmer tanks , hotter cams , no plastic fenders ... simple gauges ... carbs just keep going .. easy to work on ..
Wicked Setup! Interested in know which model renthal bars you used?
Oh...nice rims! Does that sound weird...?
My dream motorcycle 😍
ダウスzer0 👍🏼
Hey I tried to search for London cafe and customs club referenced in this video but nothing on we web. Anyone know if they have a website I can look at?
Yo just an Instagram and Facebook page
Have to agree with portlandstone, exhaust wrap looks poo on just about any bike. Please take it off :-)
Would love to know the name of the jacket you're wearing!
Barry Davy 🤷🏻♂️ can’t win them all
Where does the LCC meet up? When? I'd love to come!
Joe Caplin all over mate but more frequent in the summer
Every nick and scratch probably has story to tell. Just like the old fella who sits alone sipping his drink who has scars and stress lines all over him.
I like it. Just avoid using the term "drive" though
Very nice bike. A bit rugged and used for what it's designed for. Keep the rubber side down!
damn right man!
Decent.
I wish you’d do a tutorial on how to go about customising a motorcycle because I literally dont know where to start... don’t even know what buy to get!
Luke Rhoden loads of stuff online mate. First thing to decide is on what bike. But before that get an idea on budget.
Proper bike
Martin Botterill thanks man!
Was the engine worked for more power. Apparently not that hard to get more power out of the air-cooled Bonnies?
paulaus yes mate, you can always squeeze a bit more from them
Wicked sound like it 👌
Gary Keighley 👍🏼
I like it, but it could use a tad more black
Nice bike really like that it’s your own style. I’ve heard lawn mowers with more gurth though haha. Great bike otherwise
🤘😎
I was exepcting a louder, nicer exhaust sound. Not dissapointed though, just not expected.
Seems like hes driving his motorcycle ... There re some bikes on this chanel, where i cant imagine that theire builders are actually touring on them ... just my thoughts... Same goes for indicator size...
@@fabij.5928 yes, I agree. One time some one brought a cafe bike with essentially full sport bike riding position and said she took it for a tour around europe. My back hurts just thinking about it.
But after all, custom bikes is all about the bike we build and we love. Not the bike they love.
Cheers..
Not the best lookin bonnie, but good ❤️
A few nicks and scratches just means you actually ride it. 👍
Deorman Robey 👍🏼
The exhaust wrap is just outta place and kinda ruins the look. If the exhaust was just painted matt black like the rest it would have been perfect.
The Wild One tomato / potato 🤷🏻♂️
I couldnt afford triumph but maybe I could afford royal enfield
@tiberiusfunk damn triumph is cheap there, in Indonesia triumph were overpriced as hell it priced around £25000 and royal enfield is half that price, big displacement motorcycle tax here is crazy!
@tiberiusfunk if only triumph were that cheap here I would bought triumph, there's no w650 but we got w800 here and the price is around £15000
you pronounce "Bridgestone" in a funny way, eh eh ;)
TRISTANorTRIS great input 👏🏼
WTF is a flat white?
Michael Hayward 😂 ☕️
That piece of pipe before silencer looks just really bad. You ride a Triumph but you have cheap parts and labour done to it. Headlight brackets, mirrors, paint, seat. Made in China does not sound good on a Triumph.
ShedMan did I talk about the cost of labour? The cost of parts? I missed that bit 😂
Gareth Neville About those mass production parts you mean? Cheap doesn't always mean cost of things. I'm talking about bad quality here.
