Looks sharp Man!

As a matter of fact, I picked up a $500 Suzuki. Just not the same. I suppose it will have to do.

Congrats on the Thrux Neuro! Kingbear, you are on both counts.

Let's see some pics! Also elaborate on #4 for us please. Is it comfort? Why do you prefer the Thruxton?

Hey everybody. Still no Thruxton. Everything is on hold as I trudge my way through college. Still dreaming. Still want a Thruxton in the worst way. The other day the wife informed me she sure wished we had a fast bike for her to ride. I asked her what she wanted, and she said she s wants a...

Suzuki Madura

I suppose the other option is a Bonneville with rear sets.

Not sure. I don't really care for the look of the swollen tank on the efi Bonnies, So likely a carbed model. The other hang up is that I think the bars on the later models will be more comfortable than the older clip ons. I may end up getting an older carbed model and then converting it to a...

Likely used.

Thanks!

It kind of depends on how determined you are. Once upon a time when i was much more determined, I have been known to ride in the snow. After I got the Bonnie, the rule became: Stop riding the first time they salt the roads, and don't ride again till the first big rain of the spring. This is...

Hey guys, what year did the Thrux go from clip ons to bars? I'm in the market for a Thruxton and think that the bars would be more comfortable for me. Thanks, Wolfie

Well, a year and a half after I sold my Bonnie Black I think I am back in the market for another Trumpet. A Thruxton this time. I bought a Suzuki Bandit immediately after I sold the Bonneville. It was everything the Bonneville wasn't. It was stupid powerful. It was dead reliable. No...

I don't have anything against Dodge. I'm not a "Brand Loyal" person. I like the Chargers just fine. I liked the Magnum even better. It's a shame it got discontinued. I'd be all over the Challenger if it was about 25% smaller. It's too big to be a pony car. The Corolla, while boring was...

My corolla was made in the US. Here's a little trick I learned during my short stint in the car industry: Look at the first digit of your vin. 1 = USA 2 = Canada 3 = Mexico J = Japan I sold Chrysler products for a couple of years, and while some were built in the US, most were...

Thanks for posting. One of my recurring desires is to one day fit a sidecar to the Bonneville. Interesting to hear that the Urals aren't all that unreliable. It's their reputation for being junk that scared me away from the idea of buying one. Do you know, have the improved, or is the...

Yep, the shock stay in place on the mounting posts. The bolts just thread into the posts.

whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer unsightly weights, or to take arms against a wheel of wobbles and by beads end them.

I bought this guy a couple of years back, and I still use it though I check to make sure that it is mounted securely often after "the incident". The loobman is simple in premise. It's a little squeeze bottle mounted to the frame, a hose, and a bracket made of stiff wire with a simple oil...

So, I bought this rack with the hope of mounting my trunk to it. I bought this rack from Newbonneville.com. When it arrived, there was a very noticeable flaw in the chrome, and I sent it back. Newbonneville was excellent to deal with on this, and I can't say enough good about them. When...

Meh, I don't see anyone making any outrageous claims that make it sound too good to be true. I, like you, am a skeptic. From a realistic point of view, the centrifugal force thing makes sense. Though gravity's effect on the beads plays an effect on it where I wouldn't think it would on a...

It should be noted that your mpg will vary a great deal dependent on your riding style. I average low 30's, but I wring that throttle out. I rode with an older friend who has a much more sedate pace than mine, and I finally achieved the 45 mpg that I had heard so much about but never...

Last year my Bonnie started cutting out intermittently only when I was carrying a passenger. Engle Motor in Kansas City couldn't sort it out. I called the next nearest dealer, Eldorado Cycle in Eldorado Springs MO, and the mechanic helped me sort it out on the phone. It was the fuel vent...
