Triumph Bonneville description

This is a ready to ride Triumph bonneville bobber.  Everyone loves this bike when I bring it out.  Built with real parts, not cheap reproductions.  Frame is a 1968 Bonneville and the title matches.  The engine is numbered as a 1963 Bonneville.  Stock tank, forks, headlight etc.  Custom parts are the rigid hardtail, Wassell ribbed rear fender, Coker whitewall tire (great shape), solo seat, tt-pipes, 16" rim laced to the triumph rear hub, very presentable metallic paint with custom hand pinstriping, etc etc.  The carbs are Amal monoblocs and are freshly rebuilt.  Brand new battery.  This bike starts first kick and is a great daily rider.  It was completely freshened up around 2005 and has been sitting since 2011, I pulled it out of storage last month, cleaned out the fuel tank and carbs, but the new battery in and it fired up first kick.  It is just a get on and go kind of bike.  

There is some light surface rust here and there, like on the wheels and the cylinder also it has the typical Triumph drips mainly the back of the cylinder maybe the rocker boxes or pushrod tubes, the primary cover has a leak at the drain plug.  The clutch springs feel like they are due for a replace as the bike works great until you really hammer down on the throttle then it will slip a little at high RPM.  These are all very minor things that any rider can handle.  I just ride it as-is with zero problems.  I put approx 30 miles on it this weekend without a hiccup.  High bidder to pay a $500 deposit via paypal within 48 hours of the auction end.  The remaining balance is to be paid via cash, wire transfer or (approved by be) cashiers check BEFORE the bike is picked up.  Shipping is to be arranged and paid for by the buyer.  I can help load and suggest shippers if needed.  I have shipped several bikes overseas.  I would like the bike to be piked up within 14 days unless other arrangements have been made in advance.  If you have any questions about condition that are not answerable by looking at pictures or seeing the video please ask.  Pictures and video are part of the description.

First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.

The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.
