Sweet!!! I'll be doing some mods to my trailer this week so it'll accommodate a chock in the front. In the past I've had to put the bike in...
Usually you can find the bike's factory color code if you remove the seat - it's right there towards the back. This is the one on the recent Blue...
"An Officer and a Gentleman" - 1982 - airing tonight on TCM at 10:30pm ET. What a great movie! Richard Gere rides a 750cc T140E Triumph...
What a gorgeous bike! Wrong coast for me.....otherwise......I'd be tempted.......
Rogue......here is the GL poster I mentioned a while back. Pretty good size and hanging in my LR....... [ATTACH]

Input from my friend in Mass.........he does a lot of classic/vintage car stuff..... -------------- You have 3 options Baz: 1) Cerakote (H and E...
OK thanks, Capt.....very valuable input! Like I said......I would need some reasoning to get away from how the factory did it. I have no problem...
OK thanks, Matt. Good info! I like the idea of just doing a good paint job, as the bike came from the factory. But also looking for reasons to...
Thanks, Ed - good stuff. I'm a purist when it comes to restoration, so would try to stick with the same colours as the bike had from the factory....
