@tmg:

are they building a new bike for you?

I think we can safely assume something will happen…

[harley dave]

ive got a tank from an xs650 custom if you need it for the build ,allso have lots of stainless tubing in various sizes ,some 2 inch would make nice exhausts ,
plenty here if you need it

[Giles]

Nice, thanks for the offer…...

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.

[summ3rhays]

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

Are you in Ontario? Apparently ECE lids are legal there since 2012.

My Google Fu is strong!

So are you going to order up a Hedon then @natehate ? If it's any help, they felt as though they had a long oval fit, similar to a Davida lid.

[natehate]

sent you a pm @Graeme

Just how fast are modern bikes? :o

[summ3rhays]

Pretty cool.  I watched that yesterday.

[Bluegrass]

That was off the hook!  Wow…..... It takes serious BALLS to ride a motorcycle that fast.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride in London. If you watch it, you can spot Mark Eley of Eley Kashimoto (in the zig zag suit), and Scott of Dawson Denim.

I'd have gone along, only I thought that my Beemer was too modern to fit in with the prevailing vibe.

[Bluegrass]

You should have jumped in!  Looks like it was a good event.  Very cool.

[Graeme]

I subsequently heard that there were a few non-Kosher bikes present, so I probably could have got away with it. Maybe next year…

[harley dave]

whats your thoughts gents on the triumph scrambler (once the horrible std pipes are ditched for a proper set ) as a town bike .

live your steve mcqueen dream 

[summ3rhays]

I have a friend who owns one. He feels it's a bit under powered, but prefers it that way. Casual riding for sure. Personally I'd go with a Bonne if you're ditching the pipes anyway.

[harley dave]

they are underpowered  did think about the bonneville as well would have to be the t100 though as i hate mag wheels
