Interestingly, the Bonneville regained a V8 option on the GXP trim for 2004, its first since 1986, as a result of the discontinuation of the Oldsmobile Aurora.

 The Lake Bonneville Flood
The release of water from Lake Bonneville was apparently initiated by sudden erosion of unconsolidated material on the northern shoreline near Red Rock Pass.
Therefore, the Bonneville flood occurred some time in the middle of the 2,000 to 2500 years period during which the 40 plus Missoula floods were released.
Most of the deposits associated with the Bonneville Flood are easy to recognize in the field due to their immense size and sedimentary structures and the large percentage of basaltic clasts.

 The Future Role of the Bonneville Power Administration in Power Supply, document 2003-18
Despite the fact that Bonneville has not deferred any payments to the U.S. Treasury since the early 1980s, it is continually attacked by organizations like the Northeast-Midwest Institute[1] and its congressional allies as being subsidized by the federal government.
Bonneville’s role in providing power beyond the capability of the federal base system should be limited to bilateral contracts or rate mechanisms that align the benefits and costs.
While limiting Bonneville’s role to develop new power supplies to bilateral arrangements with customers is a major step in the right direction, it is not sufficient to ensure the development of cost-effective conservation given the disincentives to utility investment in conservation.

 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE
The new Bonneville is not a clone or copy of its famous namesake, but rather a modern motorcycle designed to fill the void created by the demise of its illustrious predecessor.
It is also natural to compare the new Bonneville with the 1969 T-120 Bonneville 650, generally regarded as the high point of classic Triumph design, and the very model Triumph engineers used as a guide for the design of this new bike.
The most intrusive visual flaws, starkly revealed in the early photographs of the prototype Bonneville, are the exhaust system, the flange around the lower edge of the gas tank, the lack of a tachometer, and the tail light assembly.

 Triumph Bonneville America
The biggest internal change is a switch from the Bonneville's 360-degree crankshaft arrangement (where the pistons go up and down together, alternating power strokes) to a 270-degree crankshaft (where the rods are set 270 degrees apart on the crankshaft), this changes the sound and feel of the engine.
A bit of juggling was required with the gear-driven counterbalancers and the camshafts to improve low-rpm power slightly and that helps the America produce 90% of its torque as early as 2750rpm.
The Bonneville America starts life at a not so light 226kg, with the accessories on our test bike I would estimate that it came in at around 245kg, yet riding it at any speed from traffic crawls to cruisin' down the highway it always felt agile and easy to manoeuvre.
