I haven't had much time to do much on my Bonneville for ages, so it's been sitting in pieces while I've been changing pipes and a few other bits and pieces. I got sick of this state of affairs so decided to put her all back together this weekend so I can actually ride again. I started her up for the first time with the new Zard Cross pipe…. shoots a 2 foot blue cone of flame out the back! Didn't expect that, but looked pretty amazing! Sounds pretty phenomenal too
Well done on jumping through the first hoop G

flames you say we need to see this in video form if you please

I'll see what I can do

Well, this evening I went out to the garage with the GoPro, set it up, hit the starter button…. No flame.
Just sweet, sweet, exhaust noise.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed, I was looking forward to flames every time I start it. Maybe on down shifts I'll get some. -
pour some petrol down there that will get it going

Getting quite the collection there!

Motorcycles (and trikes), being sold by scantily clad women since 1897!
The image comes from a piece at Curbside Classic about the De Dion trike. It wasn't the first motorcycle (that'd be the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller), but it's a cool machine in any case.
Nearly 120 years later, the advert still works.

Motorcycle.com have posted a first ride review of the Triumph Street Twin.
Overall it sounds like a well sorted bike, and I get the impression it's more than a sum or its parts, or the numbers on its spec sheet. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Thruxton turns out, but things are looking promising.

I was really close to putting a deposit on a Thruxton R, but I've flipped to the new BMW R nine T Scrambler since seeing it announced. I love the look of it, and from all reports BMW make a pretty well sorted bike.
It's also different enough to justify keeping the Bonneville
