My old man just bought a '67 Triumph Bonneville T120R, I haven't had a chance to ride it yet but it's a pretty cool bike and looking forward to trying out a classic.  I found out after he bought it that Steve McQueen had that same bike, which I think it pretty awesome.

Those bikes look sweet Giles, keep us updated!

Dont hold your breath, it's going to be a loooooong winter

My new mirrors finally came in. I dig the design. I can also adjust them so I don't just see my elbows. They also don't shake at speed.

Also put the Spot trace unit just behind the windscreen. It's pretty inconspicuous, but I'd like some tint or something on the bottom half so it's not visible at all. Damn thieves.

Spot trace. Really shows with flash.

oh and thanks graeme for putting hedon on my radar, trying to figure out if theyre legal here now

[injunjack]

I have to ask, how keen cops are checking your lids in the land of milk 'n' honey??

Asking cause I've been riding past 20 or so years with totally illegal lid a O-Hei helmet. Similar to Davida classic but true vintage. Never had an issue with cops.

Sometimes when I use 3/4 helmet, they're novelty or just plain old, with no approvals. Also never a problem.

G, sorry, didn't find time to pop in to see these guys at the weekend, but it looks like you're moving forward quickly - are they building a new bike for you?

In KY and most of the surrounding states we are free to choose to ride helmet-free… No cops bugging you about exercising your rights.

Utah is the same way.  No helmet laws.  Personally I wouldn't ride without one, but it a choice.
