Post your pics America & Speedmaster pics here

Right lets ava go!

 

First one in this section and very nice. I am assuming the bike is kept off the road whilst all the crap weather is around? Looks too well polished to have seen salty roads.

 

Yes, its not that i dont like taking the bike out in winter, I went for a bacon butty to Strastone triumph last week, but it was bloody cold

 

Yes me and the Mrs have had one or 2 winter rides out but last time I cleaned it I noticed one or 2 fasteners looking a bit oxidised so both our bikes currently under covers in the garage. The Mrs very nearly bought her Street Triple from Stratstone Leicester (she got on with the sales girl) but in the end we bought from Pidcocks Nottingham.

 

I bought a 06 yellow thruxton from pidcocks, very well priced and good service..recomend!

 

My speedy 61 plate, had for the last 12 months

 

Some of you may have seen this on f/b. Thinking of changing the look a little.

 

Iv got the same screen, only done 40miles on bike yet. how you get on with screen. any bufferting?

 

No problems at all, never had any buffeting, but screens seem to vary from one person to the next. My last bike, an XVS1300 had a screen on & at anything over 60mph the buffeting was so bad me eyeballs rattled! I sorted it by changing to a Davida open face helmet. I continue to wear the Davida 'cos I like it, but I've taken the America for a blast along the A38 wearing my old Shoei without any problems at 90+.

ps are you a member of any of the facebook pages? 'Triumph Bonneville America' or Triumph Cruisers (Going our own way)' lot of useful info & friendly banter.

 

Going to have a look now...cheers

 

Just had a look at your pic 'flapinflares' is yours an earlier model than mine? If so, I think the screens will be different, mines a quick release type & I believe is a slightly different size & shape, no reason why you shouldn't get on with it though.

ps. Keep your bike shiny- I do.
pps. every fireman I've ever met is semi retired!

 

Yes my bike is 2007 but a date on screen says 2006. not quick release. my last bike had panniers so think i will miss them got to get some,just dont fancy paying £300. just missed out on a pair on ebay:frown: Is rev counter standard or extra for a 07?

 

No, the rev counter's not standard on any America/Speedy, I've not got one. Bags, I've found that as I've got older I feel the need to cart around more clutter 'just in case'. Do you want genuine Triumph bags? I don't reckon they're worth the money (even tho I've got 'em), you could have a look at 'Get Geared' or 'Custom Cruisers' of Alfreton, just 20 mins up the road from me, Mike who runs it is a good guy & he's got loads of stuff.

Hoping for some sunshine soon.

 

thanks ...i will check them out

 

America at Rutland Water

Here's my America at Rutland Water. Summer 2011 still got the standard (sewing machine) silencers. The tarts handbag next to it is Rays old HD Electraglide.

 

Changed the seat & removed the bags.

 

Washed & polished plus a few more goodies added....
