    **SOLD** Mirrors

    A few days ago I found my stock 07 Classic mirrors in the second floor of my shop. They are in very good to excellent and free to anyone who needs them. Just pay shipping. One is missing the black mounting screw. I am divesting myself of bike stuff and am surprised by how much unneeded...

    Triple K&N Air Filters

    I was going through my vintage Triumph parts the other day and found three K&N air filters. I can't for the life of me recall where I got them but they are clean and appear unused. They might have been in a box of parts I bought from a local independent when he closed. The opening is just shy...

    Considering a Triumph Tiger 800

    I've been out and about looking for a bike to replace my highly modified, very off road worthy but not so highway worthy 650 KLR. I realized while riding the KLR on an especially challenging and very steep dirt/gravel road that serious off road riding has passed me by as I struggled to keep it...

    Einar's Rocket Upgrades

    Awhile back I posted some pics of my Aussie friend's new R3 that were taken in the shop where it was to be customized. I received photos of the beautifully completed modifications and Einar asked me to post them with his comments. I can't recall if I had mentioned it previously but several...

    My New Ride

    I couldn't help it. It was a great color and in like new condition. A Huffy. I was on a short ride to Manchester township when I passed a house with four bikes for sale out front. It was one of those gated, multi-million dollar homes overlooking the water. $75. The guy had two of them like...

    Touring Bagger

    A friend sent the pic to me this morning of an extremely beautiful Touring full bagger. I did a sight search to see if it had been posted but just got a bunch of ebay ads. Has anyone seen this especially nice Touring and is the owner a forum member?

    False Neutral on 09 Touring

    I was to post this last night for the friend who bought my Touring and couldn't figure out why I couldn't post a new thread. Duh...Not logged in which I discovered this morning. Cam is working long hours so I said I'd make the query. In any event, Cam has had a recurring false neutral light...

    Einar's New Rocket

    A friend of mine in Australia just took delivery on a new Rocket and immediately took it to a shop to have some modifications done. I told him I'd post some photos and his plans for the bike on line. This is a repeat but he asked me earlier to make a query concerning the front fender offset...

    Oh my but what have I done? A KLR?

    I received a phone call from a friend down in San Diego, telling me I needed to get back down there and ride Baja with him. We used to both ride BMW GSs but he wrecked his in Baja and replaced it with a Yamaha 250 off road bike. I checked them out and they are way too small for me but I...

    Battery powered heated motorcycle gloves

    I bought a pair of Snow Deer gloves a few weeks ago after a friend showed me his. They retail for about $150, which he paid, but I bought mine on Amazon for $130 on a Black Friday sale. As more become available I thought forum members might be interested in my impression of these gloves...

    Batwing Fairing on my Indian Scout

    Since I parted with my beautiful 2008 Touring and opted for an Indian Scout to placate my tired, beat up old knees, I've been setting it up for touring. It's a fun bike and I'm gradually getting there. I recently ordered a Memphis Shades batwing fairing and had it painted at a local friend's...

    A Brace of Tourings

    About a month ago my local Eagles had their very popular annual Show and Shine car and bike show. It's not competitive but just a day for classic car buffs and bikers to bring their rides in for a day of fun and camaraderie. We had covered beer garden and excellent food. I was in charge of the...

    Want to Buy Radiator

    The saga with Cameron's, formally my, radiator continues. The radiator is toast, that is, the bent & crushed bypass hose tube at the bottom of the radiator cannot be repaired. So, we need a radiator. I spoke to a nuc welder friend and he told me trying to weld steel to aluminum is near...

    Radiator issue

    I'm not sure what to call this one but I was at Cameron's Friday assisting while he replaced the lower radiator hoses. I'd been having issues with it since I had it serviced but thought it was resolved before he and I traded bikes. The darn radiator was still leaking somewhere so, since the...

    **SOLD** First Gear Kilimanjaro Jackets

    Now that I'm no longer touring I decided to sell two of my very nice Kilimanjaro jackets, both size XL. One is the black all weather that I paid about $300 for some years back but have not used that much. I would describe it as in Very Good condition. The last time I wore it was about 5 years...

    My beautiful Rocket Touring is gone.

    A good friend and I made a deal yesterday and he now has my Touring. As I once noted, it's the most beautiful machine I've ever owned and I loved riding it, while I could. I don't want to go into my personal health situation but I simply could no longer manage it. I did a few short local...

    Riding the UK

    I mentioned in another thread that touring the UK on a MC has long been a high priority bucket list item for me. This could be the year for it, or next. Father Time continues ticking on for me so there is somewhat a sense of urgency about it. My wife and I recently watched a BBC travel show in...

    I'm considering buying a Triumph America

    I looked at a 2016 today and it was a beauty that ocal retired guy is selling. It is black, almost metalflake, and in like new condition with about 3200 miles on it. My wife even liked it and thinks I should buy it. I only sat on it and found it to be extremely comfortable. I read some old ride...
