Great photos, guys. Tony, gorgeous Norton. And I wonder what fun vehicles Dave Russell DOESN'T have in his garage??? Some guys have all the fun . . .

I won't post a photo of my Kawa, but I have a friend who restores Triumph bikes, does that count???

Any, thanks to Bas for starting the bike forum. It seems a fair number of us like to ride.

Cheers, thanks again for the great pix.

Here's mine - 1978 Triumph Bonneville (one of the Meridian bikes).
Bought at a yard sale for $500.It's still "under restoration",which means that I haven't done anything to it for awhile.

This BSA is destined to be mine. Fully restored 441 Shooting Star with all the period speed accessories already on it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif He won't part with the Triumphs yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

First order of business would be a good dusting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There is a long line forming for those Triumphs. He has close to ten at last count. The 441 is the only BSA in his collection. Which is why he is selling it to me.

Well, I ride one of the new Bonnevilles. At 22k miles, there have been no issues at all. Takes about 45minutes to reconfigure from tour to cafe modes.
