Finally, here's one of my now-sold TL1000S along with the other 'stud' in the stable - Acura NSX.

Nothing wrong with those toys at all.

Why did you get rid of the TL???? Nice car too by the way.

Crikey, that's a really impressive stable (said in a Steve Irwin accent). I think you probably have one of the most modded bikes in the forum - and that's just looking at the Daytona!

Ken, we are glad to have your participation here and appreciate your expertise and input.

Now I know the BA and SM don't LOOK as fast as the fillies in your stable (Ok they're probably not as fast) but have you ever ridden one? They are surprisingly nimble for a cruiser and they have a definite 'presence'. You might just wanna add to your stable.

Re the TL - I was running out of things to do the Triumph & wanted a project bike - the big Vee Twin was something I really wanted to play with.
Couldn't justify keeping it in the end with the two other bikes and think the Triumph will be with me forever.
So once it was all done & had some fun with it, moved it on.
Of course now I'm itching to do another one!

Here are pics of the SV and TL as purchased
The SV was clean but bone stock; the TL was a beater!





and after

Wow! You sure made the TL look great. Hard to believe it was the same bike. Did you get your money back on it or even make some?

THAT I understand. You put so much of yourself into the bike you never want to sell it.

Why not make the next one an SM or BA? Am I repeating myself?

Stable of stud hosses there! Awesome.

Nice bikes (and the Acura also)! I've always liked your Daytona/Speed triple when I see it on the other Triumph forum, and that SV looks like a ton of fun. I looked at a couple of SV's a few years ago before I decided to get the Daytona instead.

I also appreciate the advice you offer on this site (as well as the Trat.net site).

I say all bikes are welcome here and thanks for posting up some great looking rides.
More importantly, need specs on the NSX, that thing looks sick. So clean. One of the best Supercars of all time, IMHO.

Ken, Ever thought of applying to the "SkunkWorks" or Boeing s "Black Hole"?, our defense dept. could use you
