Well this has to be a big milestone. 2006 America has been very good to me.
A true workhorse.
150,000 miles in 19 and one half years.
I have to yet to hear of someone putting that amount of miles on a motorcycle.
It's kind of unfair as I am retired and ride daily.
Has anybody hit 100,000 miles on a America or old speedmaster?
Your thoughts.

Light bar

I am looking for a Triumph light bar to fit the America I just bought. I bought an aftermarket one that I am making work but it's junk, the lights were even plastic. I have new metal lights but would really like the light bar Triumph used to sell. If anyone has one available in really good shape let me know. If not I will have to make one out of stainless.

Motor oil question.

In the 2006 America I use Castral 10w-50 oil.
Many other riders use 20w-50.
Which viscosity do you use?
I change the oil every 8,000 miles and lube the chain every 800 miles with synthetic chain lube.

149,000 miles

Today I hit 149,000 miles on the 2006, Triumph America 8-3-25.
The miles just keep jacking up and up.
I put 2,000 miles the America in one month.
7/8/25 I hit 147,000, therefore I put 2000 miles in less than a month.
I averaged 77 miles a day.
Not bad for a soon to be 69 year old.
I just wish I could stop smoking cigarettes.
But I digress
HAPPY & SAFE RIDING TO ALL

Long tiring ride 150 miles

Hello all, yesterday I rode 150 miles. At the intersection of routes 22 N and 23 east and west there was a sign noted 23 W was closed to follow detours. I thought about and turned west on rt 23 in eastern NY.
The detours sucked twice I went in circles till I finally got to the Taconic Park way in eastern NY. I left at 10:30 am and returned at 3:30pm. It was mainly in the mid eighties for temp. Today I'm exhausted. I will be 69 Aug 19. But I still ride almost every day. I'm retired.
STAY SAFE AND HAPPY RIDING!!
