Many of you have more than one ride. What's currently in your stable of bikes? Which one have you been riding the most of late? I am currently at two. Been riding the Uly more often lately, only because it is the newest to the stable. In fact my Speedmaster whined at me this morning, so I took it out for a quick 150 miles.  ---Bob

Sometimes it's difficult to decide what to ride. Today it was this.

A 2001 Bonnie sits next to my America, both getting tired of waiting for me to come home off the road...

Have you cataloged your collection in photographs? I'm sure a lot of people would like to see them, myself included.

No I only have the few that I posted in the defunct photopost and some "in progress" shots that I never scanned. My P-11 would run if I fixed the head. I traded a guy for it and never fixed it. He had a spark plug stuck in the head and tried to get it out with a chisel. Screwed up the sealing surface. Head is currently off it and I was pleased to find standard bore pistons in it.
I had posted shots of my 58 T-110 ,66 TR6C chopper, and my 64 BMW before I did any work to it the day I brought it home. I think I have some shots of my 72 Bonnie chopper floating around and some shots of my stock 72 Bonnie when I was doing the clutch on it, and some shots of my 72 Daytona when I got it and in stages of being re done. I have shots of my 67 Bonnie 8' long bike with very short forks and hard tail and very low to the ground with mini apes on it. None of my BSA I'm sure, trouble is most need to be scanned and are in my photo album stuck to the pages. I kept photo records of them in progress. Tons of shots of my 54 T-110 in pieces and stages of being rebuilt. That one isn't done yet. Not enough cash for the sheet metal I need yet.
By the way I also have a 76 Suzuki GT 750 triple 2 stroke and 2 GT 380s and a Honda 500 the funny looking V twin that kinda looks like a Guzzi engine. I don't include those in my count since they are jap. The GT 750 is buried in my shed the 2 380s have been sitting outside for the last 10 or so years and the Honda sits where I rode it to in the woods behind my house about 5 years ago. wasn't anything wrong with it when I parked it there but who knows now.

Lets see, there is a 2000 Honda Nighthawk 750, a 1983 Honda Shadow 750, a 2000 Harley Sportster 1200, and my newest additon is a 2006 Triumph America. All have a different riding feel and riding style, no two are alike.
'06 America, Raask foot controls, the bike use to be Graphite and Silver, now its Red and Black.

I just got a 04 Speedy, Red & Black in July, What a great ride. I can't stay off it. I also have a 1983 TSX in Black I bought new with a 79 bonny as a trade. The TSX will get Classic tags as soon as I get the electric problem fixed. Waiting patiently in the back corner of the stable is a 75 T160 Trident in need of restoration. I'm going to need a bigger stable before I can talk the wife into a Rocket.

  2002 Bonneville America and 2007 ABS Tiger. When I am home I have been riding the Tiger more. With the GIVI hard cases I can use the bike more like a small car. I can load 3 fully loaded grocery bags into the cases. The top case is 46L and the two side cases are 41L. Tom

I'm making a change to my garage. The 2001 Bonneville is headed to Florida where my nephew is starting college at FSU and it's being replaced by this 1995 HD FXDS-C Dyna Convertible. Mid pegs, 28° neck angle, lots of torque...   So, now it's one 2004 America and one 1995 FXDS...

I have my '06 America that I ride the most *(11,000 miles) A 1974 Triumph T100R Daytona 500 I purchased new in '74, probably over 30k, speedo been fixed twice, haven't rode it much since getting the America Stock 1970 Triumph T120R Bonneville bought off of eBay back in 04. was a POS, did a frame up restoration to about 80%, ran out of capital but it runs and looks great. Put about 1000 miles since completing the resto in '07. Ride it occasionally, mostly local. (This one is for sale) A 1968 Triumph T120R Bonneville. Had this bike about 4 years and am completing a rebuild now. Has a Routt kit on it and added a mild MegaCycle cam. Done up in '67 color scheme. This bike is loads of fun to ride. Also have a '74 Dodge Dart waiting patiently to be road worthy! Too many toys, not enough time
