Some guys at the BMW dealer in NH have a winter project where they are building a new r90s based on the '75 model with new parts sourced from BMW's extensive catalog. Here's a picture of what they have and there's a live feed of the assembly that's beginning now

I hope this hasn't been posted yet. It's pretty fantastic. An Honest Review of the Triumph Bonneville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsKFsce5phw

This is *exactly* what my buddy said when we were in VT a couple weekends ago. "That's the sound of a bike screaming for help."

seriously, man. if i could have two bikes, though, it wouldn't be a combo of those two unless i kitted out the Streetie with hard luggage for long weekend trips. they're just too similar task-wise, and, if i'm honest with myself, i'm never going to be a track day guy. The biggest difference is...

Dear NBR, I had my Street Triple stolen early in the summer of 2012. I took the money and picked up a great-condition caspian blue Thruxton that I had wanted ever since I first got my Bonneville many, many years ago. Over a year later (i.e. earlier this summer) I was on Route 2 near Greenfield...

beemerrich- Thruxton needles. . . also, for the record, the mains that were pulled out were 110s (for TORs). but yeah, so it looks like 130ish and 40ish for the mains and pilots (and between 1.5 to 2.5 turns out) is the way to go. Should I go on the smaller side for better ride vs. peak...

Heard back. . . I'm not quite sure why but it turns out they send me a couple of 140 mains. This means that if the shop didn't check them and just installed what I gave them then I possibly have two 140's in there. . . that would certainly explain the bogging at full throttle. Either way, it's...

yep. i didn't look at the size before they went in because they came in the kit with the pipes, so I figured they had that sussed out. I have an email into them and I'll report back when I get the answer. The airbox is still on there.

I just dropped a line to Bellacorse to get the jet sizes (they came with the EMGO kit I bought from them). Basically all that was done was an install of the EMGOs and a carb rejet using the ones that came with the kit. I'm thinking the shop probably did an incomplete job rejetting. I'm...

After throwing in the towel and having a shop install my new EMGOs and jets (the previous owner put on TORs), I took a trip to VT with a couple buddies. I'm noticing a couple annoying things about the fuel delivery 1. as opposed to intermittent pop that happened on deceleration/engine braking...

thanks fellas. it'll be nice not to be thinking about this on my trip to VT this weekend.

I have a set of ZRX shocks and, in order to give me more room for indicators and luggage, I flipped them so the reservoir is in the front like this. I've seen it before so I'm assuming it'll work, but I had a buddy mention that you always want the reservoir be at the highest point. . . or maybe...

i know, right? the pick-up was a pretty slick piece of riding.

moto-guy saves explorer-lady's coffee from her back bumper and delivers it to her without stopping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hun_kdWVPps nice one!

Just FYI- I have a pair that I'm looking to get rid of after picking up a pair of EMGOs. I'm happy to let them go for less than I'm seeing them go for online.
