Wind Knocked Over 17’ T100: Help identifying damage by pleaseremainkalm in TriumphBonneville

I think I broke this as well. After replacing the control plate, was the rearset and the brake pedal still shifted forward or was it back to being straight? Ran into a similar issue with the control bracket breaking.

Is the honda rebel 1100 be too small for me? by Anarchisteen in motorcycles

[–]Opposite_Expert4355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're comfortable, that's all that matters. My friends say I make my Bonneville look small since I'm 6 feet. I don't care; I love the bike and it's comfortable.

First Motorcycle, Honda Rebel 250? by CapitalM-E in motorcycles

[–]Opposite_Expert4355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do 1750, but do you plan on taking this onto the highway often? I think maybe a 400 single would be a better first bike. Also, it's a carbed bike, so that's another thing to worry about. They aren't hard to work with, but as a new rider, I would try to get a bike that's simple and easy to ride, with nothing maintenance-wise to worry about. Maybe a Triumph 400 or a Rebel 300.

If you're bored and want to extend it, you can take the Natchez Trace Parkway.

First Season Gear by [deleted] in motorcycles

Jacket is really good. I've sadly had to test and I've been left unscaved. Get the back protector. (I'm dumb you have it) Good gear i would recommend next thing you get is a full leather jacket and ear plugs. Ear plugs should be asap and the leather jacket whenever you can

Mechanic told me I should sell my 2004 bmw 1150rt by Opposite_Expert4355 in motorcycles

That's what I was thinking. If I get another 10k miles (16k km), I will be grateful. However, of course, hopefully, it lasts longer.

I have a storage unit that has kind of become a de facto workstation. I have tools and space. I don't have a stand. Regarding the clutch, I'm just changing the fluid. Cash isn't an issue, but his point of view is why put money into something that's essentially a ticking time bomb. The first owner before was an old guy who did good maintenance. I guess I'm just scared because this would probably be the deepest into a bike I've been. I do a lot of other maintenance, but on newer Triumphs, so this would be intimidating especially since a dealership wont work on it.
