@summ3rhays I'll be getting this one in a couple of weeks. Just need to get some money shipped over from the UK.

There are all sorts of goodies in the Triumph accessories brochure: Quickshifter, hotter cam, high-flow airfilter, race exhausts…

[Giles]

I thought the R came with Quickshifter…....

[Graeme]

I don't think that it does. Unless it's been surreptitiously added somewhere along the line.

How are you progressing with your bike license @Giles? Or have you been too busy doing other stuff instead?

[Giles]

I filled the 125 up with petrol for the first time 3 weeks ago, does that answer your question….?

[Graeme]

Well those small bikes are very frugal.

[summ3rhays]

So this happened. I stopped into the Ducati dealership to talk bikes and found out they now sell Vanson. I was trying to be frugal, but I've been looking for a perforated jacket for the summer.

The fit is so so so good.

Finally got some saddlebags! And for $300 off regular price!!!

here she is all proud with new tyres new m o t

[summ3rhays]

So cool.  I really like those old airheads.

[tmg]

Agreed, wish I'd picked one up a few years ago, before the prices here in the UK went so crazy

[harley dave]

the s/t is getting very hard to find as most were turned into g/s clones i think they only made  5963 of the s/t model .
my friend has a gs p/d which has done over 300,000 miles yes thats three hundred thousand miles

I posted a link on here months ago regarding MotoGP and nobody responded.

The racing at the Isle of Man TT started today. Anyone watching???

[Graeme]

I've not been following the TT, but I just saw that Michael Dunlop has broken the lap record.

I won a ticket to see Closer To The Edge, the 3D film about the race, a few years ago. The riders are completely mental.

[Graeme]

I saw the new Super Duke GT today. As with all KTMs, it's made from orange and mental, but this time it's got some practicality to it.

The only problem is that the tank cut-outs get in the way of my legs when I reach for the rear brake. Not for me, unfortunately.

[summ3rhays]

New lid. I still like the Shoei, but this is definitely a different look.

[harley dave]

i am your father ….luke skywalker 

[Graeme]

He's not the Stig, he's the Stig's motorcycling cousin!

[Jordonf9]

Had time yesterday to play around a little after cleaning her. Just one for now…get the few others another day.

Excuse the question, but is no one into choppers? Hardtail, Sportster tank, springer fender, K&Q seat, sissy bar. Choppers.

@JCMx800:

I can appreciate choppers and Harley's, but I prefer the functionality of more modern bikes.  I commute by MC 9 months out of the year.  Maybe a second project bike in the future.
