    Taxi Driver

    35 years old this month. Classic film, and one of Martin Scorsese's best in my opinion.

    I can walk again!

    I broke my leg a few months back in a stupid crash on the Street Triple. Both bones in the lower leg (tib & fib) were snapped and I got some new hardware in the form of a titanium rod down the center of my tibia. The good new is that I just got back from the doc, and he gave me the green light...

    Two types of riders

    I’ve always heard that there are two types of motorcyclists, the ones that have gone down and the ones that will. Unfortunately I’ve joined the ranks of the ones who’ve had that unexpected “off”. The wreck happened as I was turning and hit a slick spot on (gravel I think) the road. I was only...

    Why do people want to share horror stories?

    lately, every time I tell someone that I ride a bike they've got a story about death and mutilation? It's almost always a "friend of a friend" or something along those lines. I've gotten to the point where I just shut them down and tell them I don't want to hear it. Is it just me?

    Lucky Brand Marketing

    I got a catalog from Lucky Brand Jeans in the mail today (not sure how I got on their mailing list..). Lo and behold, they've got a beautiful Bonneville on the back cover. Blue and gray with a ped slicer on the front. Not sure of the year. From the looks of the catalog they must have some...

    Restless...

    I've been feeling restless and kind of down since I got back from vacation. At first I just chalked it up to post trip blues, but then I realized what I was missing. My tags expired on the bike when I was gone. I've been meaning to get them replaced but haven't had a chance because of work...

    Good First Project Bike

    So seeing as my lovely Bonnie is gone, I'm feeling the need to cafe a bike. Problem is my wrench skills are very basic. I've done the NARK, rejet, pipes thing to my old bike but that's about the extent of my experience. So, If I wanted to start what's the best/simplest bike to start on for a...

    Street Triple R review

    It's been ~600 miles and a few weeks now so I thought I'd give some feedback for anyone considering a STR. Riding position - I'm coming from a Bonneville and the street is definitely more forward leaning. It's not unmanageable and I imagine the Thruxton guys would be very comfortable with...

    Show us your ATGATTs!

    Recently I've been reading a lot about crashes on this site and others. I wish I could say I'm ATGATT but sadly that's not the case. I never go out without a helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots but I'm often in jeans. Here's my daily riding gear: 1) Arai Vector Phil Read helmet 2) Triumph...

    Allstate Commercial

    Have any of you noticed the Bonnie in the latest Allstate Commercial? The commercial starts with a bike flipping over in the road. The Bonnie is sitting behind the dude who's talking. It's up on a lift with the rear tire removed. Everything else looks like metric cruisers.

    Can I still hang out with you guys?

    I pulled the trigger on a new Street Triple R today and traded in the Bonnie. I'm sure I'll regret letting her go but so far I love the Street. I need to win the lottery so I can have both...and a Thruxton. :playin:

    My bikes ugly ass end

    There are two things I hate about my bike right now. The UGLY taillight/turn-signals and the big old reflector on the bottom of the fender. The lights are the next change I'll make when I get the time. I kind of like the length of the fender but I was thinking of doing something about that...
