Triumph Bonneville description

1979 Triumph Bonneville Special T140D 

I bought this a couple years ago after it sat for a few years under a tarp in southern California

After a complete flush, service, carburetor cleaning and a new battery it fired up and ran great. 

To make it ride able the rear brake master cylinder, drive chain, front wheel bearings and fork tubes were replaced. 

I rode this all last summer and a few times this spring. It’s a great running and fun to ride bike. 

I had planned to do more clean-up work on it but there’s a new baby coming so I need the money and won’t have time for it now.

It needs some cosmetic clean-up, the engine cases need cleaned and polished and some of the chrome is pitted from sitting so long. 

It still has the original paint and the factory seat is in great shape. The turn signals are not Lucas, they were replaced with copies, the exhaust is not original and the hand grips are not original.

First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.

Natural Habitats

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home.    Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.

R&G Drop proof Triumph Speed Triple

Mon, 16 May 2011

Over the years R&G have been the brand known for being the originators of crash protecting bolt-ons. I asked them for a stack of products to fit to the 2011 Speed Triple to see what difference they make. The thing about modern day sports tyres is they offer huge grip when fully leant over, but we are often too nervous to make the most of this, simply because the British road surfaces are changeable and largely unpredictable.
