So this is mine. Nothing special compared to some others on here, but it's mine so that makes it

Bought it in March 2010 with 8400 miles. Almost at 10000 now. Just finished installing brokenfixed's battery relocation box, k&n pods, 150 mains, new throttle cables, de-baffled stock tapered pipes, corbin seat, and avon grips. Got a signal minder waiting, but it's riding time.

The day I bought it.







The day I brought it home right before losing the windshield.





Today after it's first ever bath at lunchtime. Probably as clean as it'll ever be.

Nice lookin' bike there, Brian...I think!

(...say, you didn't happen to purchase that BA from Triumph of Lilliput MA, did ya?!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks Dwight. I didn't realize I could make the pictures bigger by copying a different picasa link.

No I bought it at Armand's in Halifax, MA

Nice set-up! Ya, what'ya wanna do - spend your time riding or cleaning? I choose "riding". Enjoy the miles!


I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.

Thanks for the nice comments! Hopefully eventually it will be mostly black. Can't decide on shiny black or flat black. Even had thoughts of seeing what a mix of both would look like. It'll depend on my mood when the time comes I guess.

Doza,
I noticed in the background of one of the pics it appears you have one of those motorcycle clam shell covers. I don't know what they are called..... anyways, I was thinking about getting one. How do you like it?
So as not to hijack your thread, your bike looks great too. Love that seat contrast.

RV_AZ, It's called a cycle shell http://www.cycleshell.com/
I love it. Without it I probably wouldn't have a bike since I don't have a garage or shed. It's a bit pricey, but worth it IMHO. I first got turned on to it by my neighbor who has one for his Bonnie. I've had mine since 2009. The bike lives in it year round. Very sturdy and weather tight. I kept a 72 Bonnie in it on the center stand for the first year now I've got my America in it. The bottom is a hard pvc type material. The top is some synthetic vinyl type of material. Holds up to snow/wind/rain you name it. I'd highly recommend it.
