A few pics
Two initial pictures, inside garage. I know those are not the best ....
... but outside and nicer ones coming soon...
PS: Was also testing my brand new 35mm f 2.0 Canon lense. Perfect for indoor / no flash pictures. ... Sold the SIGMA 30mm I had before, too soft ...

very nice man! I wouldn't mind having one of those in my collection a few years down the road.Two initial pictures, inside garage. I know those are not the best ....

Also nice lens grab. I also had the sigma 30 and didn't like it. I sold it and got a 50mm it's so much sharper and performs far better. I would like to get the 35 one day but I also like the 28mm as well. I have a laundry list of lenses that I want to get.
I really want to get rid of my 70-300 and get the L version....
Sweet! I'd like to talk my wife into getting one of those, but she wants a Ninja 300. Both are nice bikes, but there's just something about a Bonnie.

congrats man, welcome back to the open road. those bikes have such a timeless look. reminds me of when i was 17 (in 1990), i bought an old 68 yamaha for $50, got her runnin and ran her all over the farm we lived on at the time. i didnt have the time or money to get her road reliable but sure had fun running around the fields like a lunatic with her.
Gonna be 100% honest!
Tried the Street Triple again, same color, just different dealer; was the last one in the floor. But I had horrible flashbacks of my accident. I know that's something that will disappear with time, but DID NOT FEEL that with the Bonnie. I also noticed (very obvious, of course) my arms and back were more relaxed.
Totally different bikes, so I am not going to compare, it would be stupid! But I am extremely happy that I am riding again. That I am blessed I can afford another bike, and that I have no serious injuries after the accident.
I can't describe with words how happy I felt when I rode going back home...
Riding is one of the most exciting and beautiful experiences in life! ...
True!
My favorite Canon lens, and it is so cheap! No one can't believe the price when I mention it.
But the 35mm gives me more "room" for indoor pictures, especially when I do not have lot of space to walk back and capture the whole scene.
I actually have the 50 1.4, not the 1.8.
Nice. I've been toying with the idea of a Bonnie for almost as long as I've been looking at bikes. I don't think it's the #1, but if I were to have two bikes, the second would be a Bonnie. (In my case, probably a T100, given my height/inseam.)
Great bikes and you'll have lots of fun.
I love the good quality prime lenses. I'm a Nikon guy and probably use my 35mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 more than any of the fancy zooms. Tack sharp and very fast. (I have found the 50mm 1.8 to be sharper than the 1.4. You do sacrifice something to get that extra half stop.) Sigma has always been hit-or-miss. Some are good and some of them suck.

Re-learning shifting techniques.
Power curve and gear ratios are totally different than Street Triple or my previous fz6r. Not talking about power only, but gear ratios.
Found myself without enough power band on 2nd while taking a U turn ramp to the highway. The Bonnie requires 1st. I couldn't do that with any if the other sportbikes, 1st was too high , mainly for rolling the bike from a full stop.
