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?

Nice to see you and your bikes again @harley dave
Welcome back!

[harley dave]

Your back on an 800 gs are you not ?

@Sam's got a Triumph Tiger 800, @harley dave.

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.

[Graeme]

@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 like the headlamp
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.

Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black
So nice!

[Appfaff]

That's a wonderful bike - my barber just acquired a Bonneville T100 Blackout (Shadow?) Edition and it is striking in person.

Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in Salt Lake City. Fun ride, but the turn out could have been better. It had to be rescheduled twice due to weather. Some people are afraid of snow.
