Pristine but slightly boring Thunderbird
Monday, 25 March 2013
I've been thinking.....
Thinking...a very dangerous thing to do. Anyway, now I'm skint courtesy of HM Tax inspectors and can't afford a new bike, I started thinking maybe a few little modifications would help me feel happier about keeping the Triumph. So there is a business quite close to me that make and fit modified seat units for Thunderbirds, they really clean up the rear end and make the bike look a little swoopier. The only disadvantage I can see is that there's nowhere for luggage, so I'd have to carry my sandwiches in a backpack. What do you think? Oh and here's the website www.retrocaferacer.com
Sexy rear end!

I know, have you seen Nikos'?
DeleteHa, you guys are funny.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could get the seat maker to fit a "smugglers trunk" into the back of the cafe/solo seat. A friend has one on his ZZR and it works quite well for holding lunch, a few tools, etc.
Like this but for a Triumph - http://www.corbin.com/harley/softail/2kstsmug.shtml
Trobairitz - I know I won't ever go touring on the Triumph, but I keep thinking...what if? Would I kick myself for not having any luggage space? Or should I just stop thinking and do it? It's a conundrum.
DeleteStill, I've got time to decide, it's stil snowing here so nothing's getting done till that stops.
What's more important - sexy rear end or lunch. One must have priorities!
ReplyDeleteVstar Lady - at my time of life, I think the sandwiches are probably more important! Although....the sexy rear does look good.
DeleteEl Diente today (or maybe it was yesterday, can't remember - am too old) was you're only as old as you feel day! Go for it!
DeleteLooks great and admirable to have such a simply motorbike. The tires are more attractive though. All in all, any bike ride is never a success without perfect tires like street bike tires which can sustain a long mileage while still firm on the road..
ReplyDeleteRight......
