      @JCMx800 if you need a tasteful jacket for your lessons, might I suggest the Dainese Gong Yun! :o

      Actually, Dainese are doing a few interesting designs. The York is rather different to most leathers. I don't know how the buttons would hold up in an off, but I suspect it'll look great with a lot of abuse.

          @JCMx800:

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

          Yes. Isn't that obvious?

            Yeah, but I don't like springers with fenders and rather walk than be seen on a bike with a sissy bar or king and queen seat. There's more stuff that's been popularized the last few years but I dislike lots of bikes so I digress.

                New bike. Picking it up tomorrow. 😉

                @JCMx800 I'm more into Café Racers than choppers. 😛

                      Thanks @rocket and @louisbosco.

                      The Thruxton lends itself to being customised. This one has been tweaked with some of the parts from Triumph's catalogue, though the subframe under the seat has been modified.

                        you did the customizing by yourself?

                          The one in my last post was customised by K-Speed in Bangkok. It's not my bike.

                          Mine's the one with the sold sign on it. It's still stock at present. I'm planning some mods, and will do some of the work myself. However, having seen the instructions for fitting the fairing, I might leave that to the dealer, as it looks pretty involved. 🙂

                                    Nice filter there @Jordonf9.

                                    I got the Thruxton home yesterday, with a rather slow and wobbly ride. I've not been on a bike in 18 months, not ridden in Australia before, and all the controls were in the wrong place! The older BMWs had indicator switches on each bar, similar to a Harley, but there's a separate cancel button, so I'm not used to the more conventional switch with a cancel button.

                                    I need more practice!

                                            Suus held a launch party for the new issue of Tank Moto, so I went along.

                                            Custom painted fuel tanks by Karl Stehn.

                                            This bike had a Boy Scout belt repurposed as a seat strap.

                                            Triumph were a sponsor, and they brought along a few of their bikes, including a Thruxton in the wrong colour. There were a number of bikes parked outside, and if I'd known I'd have brought mine along.
