It's 7:30 am and I'm about to put the bike back together, since I spent almost two hours last night faffing and swearing at the thing, trying to get the damn grab rail off to replace it.
The last two weeks I have been mostly fiddling with the bike, buying things for the bike, working out what things to buy for the bike, finding I bought the wrong things for the bike, trying to buy things to find they don't really exist... it's amazing the lack of decent info out there on how to do some basic things when you're a novice. So this morning I thought, hey why not start a blog and at least some other poor bugger might find it useful!
This is my new, as yet unnamed 2005 Triumph Bonneville T100. New to me anyway - it's got about 11,500 miles (pretty low for 8 years old) and a little bit of rust and corrosion, but it's got less mileage and is in much better condition than the 2009 YBR Custom I just sold.
It's the modern, doesn't-break-down every day version of an old British classic. Basically it's a mid life crisis bike come too soon so I can fulfil all my Full Throttle fantasies, but at least I didn't actually buy a Harley.
