What to look out for when your Thruxton reaches 33k miles... Repeat with scheduled stuff, sure sure... Anything on these bikes that tends to break down and need replacing, what should I do as preventative maintenance? So far, I got a new battery. The bike is 4 years old, figured it could not...

At about 3,500 RPM i get a feint clicking sound. Sounds like a playing card in in bicycle spokes... I've been googling... this guy has the same thing. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=321973 Exhaust leak? I tightened up the header bolts. I'm also due for my 24k...

http://www.chopcult.com/news/articles/kirks-black-ironhead.html He traded that bike yesterday for a 2005 Aprilia. Sad. He talked about El Diablo Run in the write up, Im in the opening paragraph!

As you know he wasn't able to make the El Diablo Run due to his injury. Sad yes. However the silver lining was when he asked me to do a write up for his blog! Totally stoked with how it came out. I posted some photos in the ride area too...

Just launched my clubs store. Kinda as a joke until I start loading some serious stuff. Stickers! http://lastplacers.com/shop/

Issue seems to be getting progressively worse... The start buttons seems to not work till after alot of tries. Some times the starter will jolt for a split second like the bike was going to start. But mostly, the button is pressed and nothing happens. I was poking around on the internet, a...

Rather than do patches i decided to make my club brass badges. I etched these in brass. They will have 2 pop rivets to secure it to the jacket. Ill post a photo of what mine looks like on my jacket tomorrow. www.lastplacers.com

Me and five friends decided to make our own damn club. If you live in the SF East Bay and want some people to ride with, let me know! I will be making updates to the site soon. Today is the FIRST day It's been live. We got us a Kawasaki build we will be posting about...

I was talking to Sean at BC about a tech problem and he stoped me to ask if I saw the blog recently. I said, no... He was like - LOOK NOW! and to my surprise, BC posted my bike! http://www.british-customs.com/triumph-motorcycle-blog/?p=918 I'm flattered.

I just got a new truck, was wondering what ramp works best for one man loading and unloading a bike. The truck is a Dodge Ram, quad cab. Big, not HUGE.

Any different that the Thruxton? I'm thinking about getting on this summer (nowish) so i can go ride some dirt trails. The Bay Area Craigs list has NO SCRAMBLERS. And ebay has 2, both to new. I was hoping there were some higher milage, 6 or 7 year old scramblers out there under 4k...

I keep my chain super clean and well adjusted... I'm at 12,500 miles. Still looks new, but thinking in the preventative sense; how do you know when it replace it?

"I HATE MY KIDNEYS," more than the latest British-Customs Hard tail kit. http://www.british-customs.com/product.php?productid=17440&cat=6&page=1 I don't like that it just locks the swing arm. It says, this bike once had a suspension. But now I must delete them, for I dislike my kidneys. For...

For an EFI Thruxton with the airbox removed, with the arrow 2into2 map loaded... What are the exhaust options, besides dominators and predators? I was wondering if there were any full systems that would fit without having to reinstall the airbox or remap the ECU. I would like the D&D TT...

And by coolest... I actually mean. WTF!!! Why is this motorcycle even real? Is it a joke, are they actually proud? I feel ugly looking at the damn thing.

Are the 2008 and 2009 headers the same ? 2009 is the first year EFI. 2008 is the final year carbed. *shruggs*

Not mine... I just wanted to share a great place I frequent for motor-bike stories. www.pipeburn.com I'm not sure who runs it or where the posts come from; but I like it. A lot. In the blog with the video about Max Schaaf, those are a lot of the same streets i ride!!! When you see the...
