Spent some time at the Triumph Big Kahuna at Road Atlanta on Saturday. Attached are a few pictures. It's a beautiful track.

I was intrigued by the poster for the 20th Vintage Rally hosted by HoAME. Created this wallpaper.

Attached are pictures of the inside of the right side of a 2001 tank. The rust around the top seems minimal to me. Since the petcock/reserve is on the left side of the tank (not pictured), you can understand how a gallon of gas could easily be "trapped" on the right side. The breather/overflow...

What is the purpose of this T-Fitting between my stock Keihin CVK36 carbs? Am I missing a hose? (This isn't the fuel line connection point from the tank, but something else.)

Has anyone checked out the minimalist "Chopper Style" Wiring Diagram that LC Fabrications has designed? It is described as follows: "The New Bonneville wiring diagram is a simplified chopper style setup so you can build your own harness. Eliminate all the BS safety and emmissions crap found on...

According to the British magazine Motorcycle News (MCN) Top 100, Countdown from 100 to 1. Top 10, Countdown from 10 to 1, i.e. best of the best. This magazine has had a reputation for being a tough critic of the new Triumphs, yet they rated several of them in the Top 10. I agree.

The Sharp organization has created a new safety rating for helmets that have already recieved an ECE REG 22.05, DOT or SNELL certification. They use a 5 star rating system with 1 star being minimum standard and 5 excellent. They purchase the helmets from retail stores, just like you and I would...

Finally, a place to store tools on a Bonneville (or Thruxton/Scrambler). Below are pictures of the modified seat. Will hold a 6-pack of beer too!

Here's a good reference for what antique and classics are selling for. These are from the MidAmerica Auctions held in Las Vegas the past two years. 2009 Results (These include "condition" values, 1-10) 2010 Results And here's their webpage for about 20 other events in the past...

I just received a couple of cool t-shirts from Her Majesty's Thunder. Enclosed with each t-shirt came a Her Majesty's Thunder pin. Eureka! The pin fits PERFECTLY on the Bonneville's choke knob! Literally, it snaps right on with out any modification. See below.

Anybody know where I should start looking locally for these grommets? I tried Bike Bandit already and they are unable to supply them.

Next week I'll be painting my tank to look something like the image below. I've got a used black tank, new red Heritage badges, a Pingel petcock and some special chrome paint. Can any of you "artistic types" offer some suggestions about my color scheme? The first photo is my bike with...

GPS on cell phones is getting a lot of press, but is it a viable option for a biker? How well can a cell phone with GPS features work when in a remote area without a signal? I don't get the hype, or am I missing something. Do they really work as well as say a Garmin Zumo that relies on a...

Has anyone tried this chrome paint from Alsa Corp? They offer paint, peel&stick sheets, and even metallic leather. I'm going to order a sheet of their FX Sheeting and apply it to a spare black tank and hopefully create a result similar to the Mototwin tank below.

Any suggestions for repairing the wiring harness (other than electrical tape)? After 9 years, some connections are now a bit exposed and a few of the rubber boots are starting to split open or fall off. Any ideas?

Was there a Triumph "fix" for the 2001 Bonnevilles that remedied a problem with the clutch action? I seem to recall this discussed somewhere, and if so, this updated part might make it a little easier for my '01 to find neutral.

Mike, et al, I'm assuming from this old post of Mike's that the Mikuni HSR 42mm carbs will require different throttle cables and a different grip/throttle housing than those used by the stock Keihin CVKs, right? I recently installed some stainless steel braided lines. Must I "dump" them? Can...

Has anyone had experience with OUTERWEARS PRE-FILTERS? They're waterproof and slip over UNI or K&N type air filters. With my side covers removed, are these needed when it is raining? Any thoughts? My air filters are UNI Pods, Model UP4229AST (2.25" ID / 4" OD / 4" Long)...

Finally got around to having a dyno run at a local shop. Yikes! A/F Ratio is indicating a really lean situation. Perhaps the Uni Pods are "breathing" better than the K&N Cones I replaced a few months ago, but not this much! 140 Main, 45 Pilots, no airbox, air injection removed, Predator...

"Threewheelbonni" mentioned BUMP STARTING in a recent post and stated that this technique works easily with the new Bonnies. My one experience with bump starting wasn't successful. Is there a trick? GREG P.S. I also did a quick search and found this advice from Modre (via Hedge) about his...

I replaced the K&N cones (RC-1920) with UNI Pods (UP4229AST). WILL I NEED TO REJET? Presently I've got 140 mains, 45 pilots (see signature below for more details.) (I made the swap primarily to see if the side covers would fit better, i.e. more squarely. Result: I think the angled pods fit...

This side car could be a lot of fun for somebody... Search for "Side-car - $750 (Short Pump)" on the richmond.craigslist.org (My dog's all for it, but my wife isn't, otherwise I'd be buying it!)

Is my clutch slipping at high RPMs or could it be something else? Here's a graph from my Veypor VR2 of two runs overlaid. Notice the eratic RPM curve at high RPMs. You can rule out the modified igniter, because I got similar results with a Procom igniter. Thanks, GREG
