Too busy this weekend to fool with it. Next week.
I've been drooling over this thing for months.
We finally came to terms I could do.
I can't wait to see if Santa also brought me the new GoPro2
with remote mic.
I was thinking the Sprite movies but now with the 750......
:grinpimp:
 
all black and nasty bad

Here she is boys! Awesome power.
I can't wait to shine her up and give it some
TLC this weekend.
Fun 9 mile drive home.
I'm juiced to ride this weekend.

Ya know, Ted Simon rode around the world on a bike similar to that, the Tiger T-100 long before Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman did it on Long Way Round. I almost bought one of the reproduction Bonnevilles, but I got the big Beemer GS instead, fits me better... Shout and we'll go have a ride sometime, test out Caesar's Head...

Ya know Steve McQueen rode a Bonnie too.
;)
 
Sure did, in The Great Escape... Ya know the escape scene... The stunt driver hired to chase him could not keep up with him (as Steve McQueen was a professional motorcycle racer) so they had to re-edit the scene with Mr. McQueen himself dressed in the German uniform chasing none other than himself...
 
And Triumph has a "Steve McQueen" version coming out in 2012...

I had a modified TR6C in 69-70. My first 'real' motorcycle, and the first effective DP bike I ever saw. This one had replaced the Triumph front end with a Ceriani enduro forks, had a shorty 2>1 exhaust, blue-printed engine and HUGE rear sprocket. She'd really stand up and show off and was pretty good off-road as long as you didn't have to haul 'er out of a bog.
That TR series has to still be one of the best balanced all-around motorcycle packages around. I've chased Bonnies around the mtns on my K100RS and had hands full keeping up.
Still . . . gotta love electric start, shaft drive and fuel injection.

Somehow I just KNEW you'd have a bike.
I wanted an old school scooter instead of a modern one.
We'll have to get together for a ride this spring.
 
That looks custom, I think most factory MC rotors are drilled and slotted due to the heat loads transferred, i'd have to check with the trumpet mechanic I know, but it could be a factory option...
