    Got my "Q" plate

    You know I don't remember...sorry. It's on my registration I'm sure but my bike is over at the shop currently and my papers are under the seat...bringing her home today. I will check and let you know. Regardless of the expense I felt it was worth it...for me anyway... Bob

    Got my "Q" plate

    Here in Colorado we have collector plates for cars and motorcycles and they are good for 5 years before needing to be renewed. I have one on my 1968 Triumph Bonneville. Bob

    Ass deep to a tall indian

    Ball High To A Giraffe Either way you want to say it, it sucks here in the Mile Hi City!!!! We have had more snow in the city this year than all of last year. In fact, we had more snow by mid December than we did all of last year. Yes, the main streets are clear but my street and all the...

    Hagon progressive fork springs

    I'm trying to remember if it was 150 or 155 mm. Easy enough to get the answer...call Dave Quinn with Hagon in Connecticut and he will give you the correct air gap measurement...I see you are in Kingston, MA. I know that area well...lived in Manomet back in the day. I rode all over the South...

    Hagon progressive fork springs

    I also have Hagon progressive front springs on my T100 and use 20W fork oil as recommended by Hagon. I am very pleased as the difference from stock is quite noticeable...one thing that I really appreciated was no more front end dives when you grab a handful of break. Bob

    treating leather

    I have been using Lexol since the 60's for all my leather items... I have always treated my leathers from the get go and throughout the year with it and have had excellent results. Especially here in this dry climate...you need to feed or condition leathers or they will fade and dry out...just...

    Mecum bike auction

    Evidently this was the first time Mecum devoted a day to auctioning motorcycles. Yes, there were some nice BSA's that came from a couple of collectors. It appeared to me that the majority of the offered motorcycles were for the "collector" to have in there personal inventory and not to be...

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's! PICTURE THREAD

    Unfortunately stroker the seller only had the one Bonneville...and no doubt I am warm and fuzzy all over with this acquisition. I was just over at the shop doing some tinkering while my Brit mechanic was cleaning up the carb's and adjusting the valves. The points were set way off but all is good...

    Eeek Guns!

    Yup...that's why I listed that one last....I carry a .45 auto as I feel it's the only way to know you have a fighting chance... Bob

    Eeek Guns!

    Here are a few of many rules for a gunfight you might want to consider... 1. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 2. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 3. Have a back up plan...

    Eeek Guns!

    Select your weapon of choice for personal defense and continue to get instruction on technique...and practice...practice...practice. I am at the range 2 days a week. I want the confidence to know that I will have the proper skills to take what action is necessary if it should present itself. I...

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's! PICTURE THREAD

    I agree 100% with what you are saying Koi...I presented myself as who and what I am. A lover of the classics and not someone who was trying to steal a bike and resell it on Ebay, etc. I brought my Brit friend, who has a shop here, and all he works on are vintage Brit bikes. That helped as well...

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's! PICTURE THREAD

    I had looked at this bike last summer and the seller was asking $8,500.00...I continued my search, looked at and passed on a number of classic Bonnevilles this past year. I discovered on Wednesday I still had the sellers number so I gave him a call to see if by chance he still had it...he did...

    I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's! PICTURE THREAD

    Re: After A Year Of Searching.... I had been on the search for a nice unrestored, unmolested, classic Bonneville since early last year. Looked at many and passed on all until yesterday...here are some pictures of my 1968 Bonneville T120R. Bob

    Pure Gas Stations

    I noticed Brad's Conoco in Lakewood, CO was listed...they can't sell pure until April I believe, as it is a mandate all gasoline contain ethanol in the winter months. I know when I spoke to them earlier this year they upcharge about $.50 a gallon...given the price of gasoline today don't know if...

    Daytona 200

    I set my dvr to record the race before I went out for a ride...even added an additional 30 minutes of record time just in case it went over. I came home and got comfortable and played the recording. My recording stopped while they were still dickin around during the red flag because of front...

    Eeek Guns!

    Springfield Armory is in Geneseo, Illinois....My loaded micro 1911 45 acp was made in Brazil by Imbel...They fabricate the frames and the handgun is assembled in Geneseo...US manufacturers of handguns have parts made in Brazil, Croatia and other countries, but assemble in the US. Certainly...

    Eeek Guns!

    This is a big topic of discussion drlapo...My micro 45 says made in Brazil but my EMP 9 mm does not. My understanding is that the parts are manufactured there but the assembly takes place in the USA regardless...from all I have read, it doesn't seem to make a beans worth of difference. My micro...

    Eeek Guns!

    Nice Springer henrys...I really like Springfields especially 1911's...I have been at the range these past 2 weeks breaking in my loaded micro 45 and the EMP 9 mm. A few feeding issues in the beginning but they are working themselves in quite nicely...back to the range this afternoon...be safe...
