Triumph Bonneville description

This bike was just restored and finished in May. I have owned this bike for over ten years and it was looking worn. Additonally there was a rod failure and so the motor needed to be built
I have been in the Triumph bike scene a long time. I have restored several Triumphs. 
So this bike has
stainless steel spoke
stainless steel rims
stainless steel fork seal
Stainless steel fork cap nuts
the forks were rebuilt
the speedo and tach were rebuilt
the paint was re done - not to standard.
the wiring harness is new as is the Boyer 
the chrome was redone
 
The tank was sent to Ross Thompson for cleaning and to make sure it was solid to paint
the engine was sent to Total Performace in OK- Johny Issac has built hundreds of motors- for flat tracker and road racing- he has built several motors for me and they are rock solid and dont leak
Tires and chain are new as are rear brake arm 
everything on this bike is rebuilt by the best specailists

Now this bike was going to be for me, sadly I have health issues and the bike has to go. I have several Triumphs, so I did it to my taste - hence the color is not stock- if you want it made to the orginal color I can have that done before it is shipped. 

The last item is the case- those of you who know the bike will see it is a 1970 bottom end top is the 69 parts. The rod did damage to the case and I had no choice but to relace it- At the time I thought I would keep it so it doesnt matter It is a "matching" numbers bike as the frame matches the case. 

So if you  are looking for a new Bonnie you can ride anytime this is the bike for you and it will trade at less than a collector bike. If you keep a battery tender on it and start it ride it to keep gas from going in carbs you will be happy

If you are a collector the parts alone are worth the price or you can find a 69 motor and slip it in

thanks for looking I have tried to be a clear as I can - please let me know of your questions.

Go camping with your bike

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Keep your bike close to you when you go camping with the MOTOTENT from motorcycle adventurers Lone Rider. Priced at £450, here's a round-up of the features from Lone Rider: The MOTOTENT is spacious enough to shelter a dual sport bike as big a BMW R1200 GSA with all its luggage, to have room to work on it, and to be able to stand in the tent. The tunnel-shaped design allows a very quick setup of the tent when needed.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

2013 Triumph Special Edition Bonneville and Speed Triple Announced

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Triumph has revealed Special Edition versions of the Bonneville and Speed Triple for 2013, proving once again that nothing delivers a bang for the buck like cosmetic enhancements to popular models. Most appealing to our eyes is the subtle but sexy Triumph Speed Triple SE (pictured above.) Its Matte Graphite color is beautifully set off by soft blue accents of the frame, swingarm, subframe and wheel pinstriping. Included on the SE are a color-matched fly screen, belly pan and seat cowl.
