            @harley dave that old school Electra Glide is lovely, but I can understand why you're nervous about the brakes.

            I picked up a set of Rizoma Leggera indicators for the Thruxton when I was in the UK. They're tiny, and the rear units also have brake and rear light functions. Plus they have a CE rating, which means they're street legal. Useful when there are over enthusiastic law enforcement officials in these parts. 🙂

                    I had a Springer,and while it didn't have drum brakes,it was an adventure every time you came to a stop. If you spit on the rear brake pedal it would lock up. Got in th habit of dragging my feet to slow the bike down. Like Fred Flintstone. Great bikes. What years are they?

                                Triumph announced the Bonneville Speedmaster earlier today.

                                It's basically a Bobber, with an upgraded rear subframe to allow it to carry luggage or a pillion, and a 12 litre fuel tank, up from 9 litres. Cruise control has been added as standard. There are something like 130 accessories in Triumph's parts catalogue for it already!

                                I think that it's a more practical take on the Bobber, although it loses some of that bike's charm. I don't like the metalwork around the pillion seat, as it looks clumsy, and the chrome makes it more apparent.

                                  Looks like it would be a lot of fun to ride. Hope they are a worldwide release/show up in the US.

                                    @Jett129 the entire Modern Classics line has made it to the US, so it's probably safe to say that the Speedmaster will cross the Atlantic.

                                      I've always had an issue with the ass end of Triumphs.

                                        Bike EXIF have posted a review of the new Harley Softails.

                                        The journalist likes the bikes, and says that they're a step-up from the old ones.

                                        The comments about Harley redesigning a whole swathe of models over the next decade are interesting. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
