    Triumph Thruxton Resurrection Project

    Earlier this year I got rear ended. Taking that as a starting point to do most of the things, in one build (instead of a project here, a project there) I've been wanting to do. Step 1 -Electrical Clean-up/ReRoute (to under seat tray). :o

    Wagner Paint Ready System

    Has anyone used one of these (or something similar) to spray Auto Paint? In their FAQ they recommend a HVLP sprayer and this is the one Wagner has. http://www.wagnerspraytech.com/portal/paint_ready_system_en_spray.html With the "problem" I'm having trying to decide on paint I figure I could...

    Love or Hate

    Finally got done with my paint. After my wreck I couldn't decide on what color to repaint the tins. While preping the tank for paint (filling a few small dents, priming, and sanding) I looked at it and thought "That looks kind of Kewl. Hmmmmmm?" Went to town on the rest of the body work...

    Lighting Holes

    With my bike in for repairs from being run off the road I decided to "lighten" my chain guard so it would match the Heel Plate and BC Drilled Front Sprocket Cover. I figured "How hard can it be?". I first pulled the guard off the bike and took it into work to reform the rear section. This...

    Matte Clear?

    Last year or so I repainted my Thrux with Krylon Textured Shimmer Black (more of a gray). Way KEWL color in that it has a textured finish and within the paint are small flakes of pearl so where the sun hits it it Shines and you have little shimmers as it fades to a gray. Here is a picture...

    Run off Road

    Don't post much as if I'm not working I'm mostly doing family stuff or riding. Got my Thruxton 3 years ago for my Birthday. He is a 05 and it had 4800 miles on it. Since then I did the normal mods and started to individualize him to me. Was well on the way to getting the outward...

    Face Lift.

    I laid my bike down after leaving the road in a decreasing Radius corner. Only damage to the bike was a broken mirror stem, scratched Fly Screen and Scratched side cases. Side cases were easily fixed while my broken collar bone was mending. I FINALLY got around to locating a set of mirrors I...

    Odd Man Out... as always!

    Cafe Invasion - 2011 Leesburg FL Bikefest

    Not sure if this is the right forum or not but what I’m thinking is trying to put together a Café Invasion during 2011 Leesburg Bikefest. Either putting together a Café Ride or a Rockers v Mod event. The reason I’d like to do this is that I’ve attended Bikefest for the past 9 years… most on my...

    Reporting in

    Just wanted to report in. I'll most likely lurk for the most part, that and ask alot of questions. Little about myself. The bike that inspired me to 2 wheels was a 1973 Ducati 750 SS back in high school, but ended up growing up on Triumph's & Nortons. Joined the Marine Corps and ended up...
