Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

ya im excited!

 

I've been putting parts in my Partzilla cart to return my bike back to stock plastics. I need a red front/rear fender, fork guards, rear black side panels, and the stickers for the front fairing. I was holding out hope that someone would make white plastics for the front.....but I just don't see it happening. I have a white rear fender, rear side plates, and fork guards from the 300LS. I never bought the white front fender. I should have kept my stock stuff and bought new when I decided to rattle can them

 

why you going back to stock plastics?

 

I'm kinda over the Africa Single graphics. I may just paint it all white and be done. I contacted Seat Concepts and they will sell me just the black cover.

 

ah i gotcha could do a more subtle graphics kit from skda that can go all white ya know so then you wont need all new plastics

 

I'm just "wishful thinking" right now

 

haha i gotcha

 

Is your heart set on a scrambler, or are you looking at the Bonneville platform in general?

My very good friend is moving overseas, and sadly can't bring his bike. It's a '16 T100 Black, the last aircooled Bonnie. 6600 miles. He's been anal about this bike. Spares no expense. You couldn't find a better used bonnie. They're not my cup of tea, but this thing will be a find for 'that guy'.

If you want info let me know, I won't pollute the thread needlessly.

Bike is in Indy.

 

That's why I named my bike the mistress!

 

I finally got to poke around on the 50 this weekend. I wheeled it straight up to the work bench and laughed the whole time at how small everything was.

For now the plan is to refresh with OEM parts and make it our garden/farm/neighborhood transport

 

Wishful thinking to buy an Africa Twin?

thats what @Gunshot-6A wants

 

I like the AT's, but absolutely no want for a bike that heavy. Those I will just admire from afar.

 

Paying the mistress off today. She's all mine, free and clear. Love this bike.

My set up for a weekend get away.

 

I owned a red and white one a few years back. It had the Triumph off road mufflers so it had more bark. Watch for a leaky valve cover, very common on that engine. Fun bike, and hard to think the Brits think it is an off road bike!

 

So time to trade her in on a younger model, right?

No way! It's only a year old and I'm quite happy with it. Might not be a perfect bike for everyone but it's perfect for me. I really do enjoy it and I have no regrets or desire for anything else.

 

I'd so want an old-school outfit for a bike like this












Yeah......I have this shit saved in my Amazon cart just incase I get a bike that needs it

 

not sure how I feel about this. literally what I wear all the time. Not EXACTLY of course, but generally.

Then of course there's DGR, where the Triumphs really shine. And tweed is the fabric of choice

 

It's a timeless look. Just says "Classic"
