Dave Wedlake finishes the 1966 Bonneville …

Last week, we traveled from Phoenix to Seattle for a few days to take delivery of our 1966 T120R Bonneville that Dave Wedlake has been restoring for the past year. Dave Wedlake drove up from Portland and delivered it to our shop in Redmond.

For those who don't regularly follow this blog or aren’t familiar with this particular machine … it was purchased on the internet in July 2005 as a reasonably priced partially restored machine. When we took delivery, however, we discovered the bike was in pretty rough condition with many incorrect parts. We suspected we would probably need to invest more money than a restored '66 T120R would be worth, but we decided to move ahead anyway since we love this model so much. Unfortunately, our suspicions proved to be true once we got into the restoration.

Although it took a while to complete, the T120R is beautiful and a welcome addition to our collection.

1966 Bonneville T120R and 1968 Daytona T100R join the collection …

At the Las Vegas motorcycle auction this year, we found two bikes that we love and we bought them.
