Anyone got some good advice on screens for the America? Thinking of getting a summer screen for the TA07 but hear mixed reports. Have you used a T summer screen love, like it or lump it? Cheers Cavie

Welcome and enjoy your ride.

Price gouging for sure. Dealers must think all punters are thick!! Reckon at that rate it would be better to buy the bike in the US for US12,500 which is roughly AUD$17k & pay the freight to Oz!! Gotta be less than AUD$4.5KAUD!! Maybe I could pay excess luggage fee or take it on as cabin...

Ditto, whacked long TORS on the BA07. Sure have a presence on the tarmac now, thinking about putting plugs in my ears to dampen the sound a tad. Sweet sound but not impressed with our local T dealer, pipes leaking, engine popping..... so got Red (Local Guru of big twins) to sort it. Yet to hear...

I think you miss the point. The struggle between capitalists and the working class, West versus East, Town versus Country.........................It is not depressing but the a portrayal of life as it is. Then and now. Life is a struggle whoever or whatever situation you are in. That is why it...

Fantastic find. Had a look at our state and the contributors had got some good rides on. Shame the commentary is lacking.

Thought I had died and gone to Triumph Heaven. Chanced upon a shed in Tassie in the boonies with no less than 70 complete collectable bikes. About sixty of them were Trumpy's dating from 1959. The guy has the odd thunderbird, tiger, heaps of bonnies........................... plus Nortons, Royal...

Take the americian classic "Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck with you. Talk about parallels with then and now. Recommend you read it since you have the time when camping as you cross your continent. Enjoy the freedom.

I am with Ice & CYNR1023. Nothing beats the sound of my trumpy while when I am sucking in the scenery, smells and that sound while I am blatting along the open road....................................... "Gotta love the one you are with"

Be interested enough to test ride it. Looks like it will be out before Xmas. Not sure about this belt drive bungy cord thingy!!

Can someone who has no doubt been through this exercise point me in the right direction? Looking for waterproof, durable, detachable bags for the bike. Do not need the mother of all bags as I am fairly economically in so far as carrying minimal gear on trips. Can enlightened riders...

Welcome Goldie. Leave those Norton 850's in the south!! BA07, Catch u on the road sometime, somewhere.

Fish, Welcome fellow Taswegian. Look forward to catching up with sometime soon. BA 07 with long slash tors. Yep you can probably hear me coming from about Dunalley I reckon!! C my post in the Oz section. Cheers Caveman

Made the local paper here in Hobart, Oz. Some poor rider lost his ride in rather impressive way!! Someone forgot to tell we have a total fire ban in place here at the moment. URL for the FULL story & pic. http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2009/02/05/53701_tasmania-news.html

Do they/ Can they take the gun & licence off the idiot or there is no such thing in the states due to the US constitution? Should throw away the key for attempted M!
