My new old Bonnie

[akmnstr]

akmnstr, did triumphrat turn out to be okay for you?  I have only had my Triumph for 2 months after crashing my s2r1k and have found that site to be pretty good.

I checked it out and found it not to be the equivalent of this site.  There is a section on vintage Triumphs but most of the site concerns modern Triumphs.    It should be a good site for you.  That is a cool new ride you've got there, and a right side shift too[clap]

Very beautiful bike and like a new lover you will discover her quirkks and work around them akmnstr. And she'll look great in the living room.Very cool indeed. 

Thanks, and I look forward to working around her quirks. 

Here is an update on my Bonnie.  In classic Triumph fashion the bike ran when I purchased it with a few rough spots.  No big deal.  Then it started missing on on cylinder.   Then it ran only on one cylinder.  Now, it doesn't start.  But, I'm really not concerned.  I was planning to go through the carbs anyway.  I've gotten a couple pms on outfits that will re-bore the Amals and I intend to do that this fall.  I got some NOS pipes and carb gasket kits off Ebay and I am well on my way.  It looks like this will not be as expensive a bike to own as I anticipated.  Owning a Ducati makes any other bike, even an old Triumph, seem like a bargain. 

And the Desmo B*TCH seems to be adapting to its new stable mate with a "whatever" indifference.  She is content as long as the Bling keeps coming
her way.  A recent valve job last month and a few hard rides on her and she leaves the other bikes alone.

Have you no shame trotting that ugly bastard out? No, not your bikes.

The only thing ugly with that bike is the bass boat gold paint.  I would prefer something with a bit less sparkle...

I have a preference for a rear suspension, but that's just me.

My buddies are a bit strange.    They also overlooked the broomstick footpegs, the farm equipment shift lever and some leftover Harley kickstart pedal.

Now how on earth do you shift? If there's a clutch lever then you have to take your hand off the gas to shift. if there's a suicide clutch pedal arrangement then you have to reach across the tank with your left hand to shift.

I don't mind bobbers but I like clean work.
