Got a nice 2 hours in the Pinelands of New Jersey before the rain came.

First post, thought I'd show off my Triumph Speedmaster 1200, looking for some nice armoured base layers to wear so I can start wearing my Ironheart gear on the bike without feeling guilty

[motojobobo]

Very cool muscle bike @swamp_wizard !

Went for a ride this morning:

@SFMCfranky I love this era of triumph, I'm guessing from the frame its something from 63-69?

Whenever I see immaculate 650 Triumphs they always seem to be from the states too, all the ones here (UK) turned to rust years ago due to our weather I guess lol

@swamp_wizard

Spot on, Sir.
She’s a 1969 TR6C. I have several vintage British motorcycles. But this one is the prettiest and the most correct. She does wear a 1967 tail light though. In 1968, American safety regulations forced Triumph to re-design the tail light assembly to incorporate side reflectors. I didn’t like it as much as the earlier one. So, when I restored this bike, I sourced a ‘67 tail light. Much cleaner design, imo.

3 beautiful hours up and down the Jersey Shore. Perfect riding weather.

@Denimhead-0 It was a Top Ten Day yesterday. Looks like you made it up to Sandy Hook. Used to love riding around there.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@Jett129 are there decent rides down there that aren’t congested? I’m in the top center of the state so I always end up riding the north west hills.

[Jett129]

@GoodtimeJohnny Absolutely,I personally love the area of Hunterdon County. Lots of farm country,nice easy relaxing backroads. Also are you by any chance near Rte 519,because if you are ,you can just ride that all the way south as far as it goes. It’s considered one of the best roads in the state.

@GoodtimeJohnny Best time at the Jersey Shore is September / early October. “Locals Summer” and the roads are empty.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@Jett129 no not by 519 but right by 219 and 44

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@Denimhead-0 count me in, your photos always make it look nice

[Jett129]

@GoodtimeJohnny I scoured a map and for the life of me,I couldn’t find either of those roads. Probably right in front of me. What town are you in?
