Triumph Bonneville description

A very nice example of an original machine. I have owned this bike for about 26 years. Original paint, numbers on frame match the numbers on the engine, ignition keys have "Made in Great Britian" relieved into them. Bike has 11,488 miles on it. Starts easily; tickle the carbs,
a couple of kicks on the starter and she lights most every time. New tires, Goodyear Macadam sport tires, rebuild of both front and rear brakes, new rear master cylinder, new battery (have not put acid in it yet, but I used my security system battery and she fired up as expected. Engine runs like a clock, all 5 gears work smoothly. All lights work as they should, turn signals included. The only flaws, if you could call it that, is the rear rail which holds the rear signals has had a repair where the signal goes through the gusset. I have been told that is rather common. I have a much nicer rail that I will include. Also, the red "kill" button, which is not a button but a flat lever switch which a small piece of broke off. The kill button works fine, but if you intend to show this bike a new kill button should be installed. All in all you will be hard pressed to find another original in this good of shape. If you have questions, my phone # is 703.472.6886. Thank you for your time |

How well does a Triumph Tiger 800 crash?
Mon, 08 Nov 2010I've just come back to the hotel after our first day riding the Tiger 800 with the other Brit journos. One of the journos (who shall remain nameless, but alas, it wasn't me) crashed at low speed. Pictured here is his bike.
Enigma Variations
Wed, 14 Mar 2012Remember the Enigma Triumph being built by a collective of British engineeers and specialists? Just been dropped a note by the bike's owner - know on these parts as JimLin. Inexplicaby, for a journalist's 'project', things still appear to be moving ahead at a healthy velocity.
A short film about Zen
Thu, 28 Apr 2011This beautifully shot short film alludes to a phrase by Robert M Pirsig, the author of Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance: "If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed". But is any Triumph single ever capable of producing a sensation of tranquility, even when it is 'right'? I suspect not...
