The cb750 certainly was the beginning of the end for the British bike industry . My cb750 was quicker than my triumphs but never were as nimble ....
It's a shame it was bad management as much as...

well I am a fan of pretty much all of the classic trumpys and have owned many over the years of varying capacities and models , from the 500's through to a couple of tridents .
The only thing I...

Oh I do miss my Bonnies....
Nice machine that 72 . They are a bit of an oddball if I remember correctly as that version of the frame is only used in the first year or so of production and was...

Had an 87 fzr 1000 myself . 5 valve head but before exup, which was a good thing which meant I could modify carbs and pipes, ign etc to my hearts content..... and also swapped out wheels for 17...

We have plenty to do . It just involves doing with the kids . We go bush more often which is good , instead of riding . And I used some of the proceeds on new rifles and scopes so not complaining !...

No fun is it seeing a bike you've enjoyed riding away with someone else piloting it .
I also had to sell my classic Bonnie I had rebuilt from the ground up and owned for 20 yrs and the missus sold...

Yeah well not really my cup of tea either truth be known , but at least it's something a little different to the usual now to look at and to ride I find it more comfortable now .
I must admit it's...

New boing boing sprung seat on and slightly more tweaked bars finalized (mounted above top clamp now with riser clamps just to lift them slightly) and front dropped 32 mm to sharpen (lol) the...

That's very cool . Nothing more satisfying than building them yourself from scratch . The trident I posted before was kinda the same . Didn't make the forks (you clever buga) but only the forks ,...

Bit of gentle lathe turning and tapped into the hole nicely . Nice clean look too .

There's one more thing I have have just thought of over a couple of DB's to try tomorrow .
I have put a couple of stainless bolts and dome nuts though the top triple clamp riser mount holes at the...

I spent the quiet times at work this week on the lathe and spun up the bar inserts and fitted them to the butchered factory bars and made my new clip-on bars . Spent the arvo today fitting them and a...

Loved my RZ350 too.
With my nearly finished 68 Monaro in the background , 400 Chevy taken out to 412 CI , worked over ,and twin tunnel ram with a pair of 600 Holley's poking out the bonnet .... The...

Yep , that looks good . Just my style . Would really like a 1200 triumph thruxton with top fairing but can't afford one of those (thanks to the kids...) but love the classic cafe racer styling . Like...

Tried all that Finnwolf . Started with drag bars but have to be on 4inch + risers to clear the tank so still 'sit up and beg' upright seating . The problem is the tank is so wide there's no room for...

I hear ya timattalon but won't be going down that route . Besides fitting a bobber style sprung seat to hopefully lessen any jarring through my back on the crap roads here I don't intend to make any...

Threw the new cafe racer bars on the vt 750 . Definitely looks a lot less Harley like now... but I am finding the reach a bit excessive , so it looks like I am going to make my own handlebars so as...

That's a cool chopper bunji .
Reminds me a little of the triumph trident t150 I hardtailed years ago .
The seat on the chopper of yours is what I intend to do on the VT . Going for the old skool...

Yep . Going to be a bitch to keep clean and during summer won't be able to look directly at it unless wearing sunnies :thumbsup:

Yeah , if nothing else it should be super reliable . 2006 model with only 17000 k on the clock .
And being nice and basic easy to maintain . Carby , drum brake rear and shaft drive . No need to be...

Already? You didn't get that very long ago did you ?Had I known (and it was in my meagre price range) I would have been interested .
At least they make some horsepower .
The VT , with the pipes...

After 5 odd years of being bikeless I finally convinced the missus to let me buy a new toy....
Unfortunately due to the traffic levels , idiot tin-top drivers and the speed limits around here all...

Is this the future of motorcycles....???

Here boy , come here.... Good boy.....
