Just spotted this restored 1966 T-100 with 5,864 miles on it. I want!

I apologize in advance if this is to overtly political a topic to be discussed here, but as it affects so many of our members, I beg your forgiveness and indulgence... As an outsider I have no compelling interest in the outcome of the vote in the UK today. I do have an opinion (which I will...

In about an hour I'll be leaving for Virginia Beach to attend the Extortion 17 Memorial Ride, taking place tomorrow (Saturday, August 3). Anyone within reach of the Tidewater area of Virginia should consider supporting this event. Extortion 17 was the call sign of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter...

Now we can all make our own Great Escape... This is supposed to be a link to the builder in Italy, but all I got was a blank page. See more photos at Bless This Stuff.

I'm a fairly early riser, often awake before my radio comes on at 5:00am. But not today. It's a Monday morning and I hit the snooze bar on my 30-year-old Realistic once before rolling out of bed. As I shower I begin my mental transition, from how I need to replace the trap in the shower drain to...

I've been looking for a good way to mount my Garmin on my Bonneville almost since the day I got the bike. I've seen a number of good GPS mounting solutions, including the RAM mounts and the ones from D9, but none of them ever matched exactly what I had envisioned in my mind. I wanted something...

Over a year ago I decided to upgrade to LED instrument lights - idiot panel lights, speedo and tach. After a few missteps ordering the wrong stuff I got it worked out and everything was working fine, but then the two lights on the tach went out. I was annoyed but didn't bother to get back into...

Anyone within reach of the Tidewater area of Virginia might consider the Extortion 17 Memorial Ride being held Saturday, August 4. Extortion 17 was the call sign of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter that was carrying fifteen members of DEVGRU Gold Team (a.k.a. SEAL Team 6), as well as others...

This looks like a fun event benefiting a great cause, and would be an appropriate way to commemorate Memorial Day. From the organizer's website... I am definitely going to participate in this one, and am working on getting my company to make a contribution to the 100 gift bags. We do a lot...

I Just saw a review of this book on webBikeWorld - Triumph Bonneville: Portrait of a Legend. Looks nicely done with high quality printing and binding. I'm very particular about the book I buy in hard copy nowadays, opting for the eco-friendly and portable e-books instead. But this will assume a...

No, I am not inviting everyone to crash in on our illustrious host's home. It's for sale. Not his, I mean, but the other one... I myself am not a Lebowski-ist, but maybe those of you who are could pool your money? Have a bake sale or set up a lemonade stand?

:rockon: Okay, this is just too cool. Ride your bike, carry your board, and fend off motorists all at the same time. I might worry about the aerodynamics at high speed, though. Read about it at Bless This Stuff.

Got it a couple weeks ago after several early mornings standing in long lines, very out of character for me but it was worth the effort. I got a Black 64GB WiFi (no 3G). This is the natural successor to the iPod Touch I have had for about three years and which I love. The iPad will come in handy...

Saw this on one of my favorite guy-stuff blogs. I tend to be more of a soft-living type in my old age, staying at the Marriott even when I'm out on a motorcycle excursion. But if I were doing the sleeping-on-the-ground thing I would definitely consider this. It's called the Ténéré Expedition...

A faulty dipstick? Really!? No I'm not kidding, clicky.

I remember going to see this movie in the theater when I was a kid in southern California. I look forward to the sequel. :popcorn: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/5/8655/Motorcycle-Article/Next-On-Any-Sunday-Project-in-the-Works.aspx

a BMW race car? As the only person who seemed to appreciate the Paul Smith bikes I felt obligated to bring this to you. The latest in a long series of art cars BMW has produced, this one is the work of an American artist named Jeff Koons. Look familiar? Previous BMW art cars... I...

Today marks the first day of the Fall season, my favorite time of year and the best weather for riding. Daytime temps mostly in the 70s and low 80s, trees full of color and the smell of the falling leaves, riding down country roads with the leaves flying up behind you as if you were filming a...

From their lips to God's ears, I hope this legendary race is resurrected. This would be so cool! "The impossible dream has indeed become a reality!! This epic race, that occurred from 1951 through 1958, that all the experts agreed could never happen again, has been resurrected and is scheduled...

How did everyone fare this latest hurricane? So far it appears to have had minimal impact on the east coast, and here in the DC area we just got a little overnight shower. Hopefully our friends up in New England and Atlantic Canada will be spared any major damage. The good news is that the...

Apparently this thread was a really bad idea. Sorry guys. :o

So my entire household was woken up this morning at a little after 5am by some pretty heavy shaking and rumbling. At first we thought it must have been an earthquake, but then when I heard on the news that it was centered in Gaithersburg I figured it must have been BlueJ and BonnieLass having...

Some of you might have seen the GE Capital TV commercial currently airing which showcases Taylor Guitars. Apparently GE Capital is making an effort to bolster their creds with features of other investments including Triumph Motorcycles. Here's a clip from their website... Here's a link to the...
