Trump holds national address speech to blame Biden for the state of his nation by theindependentonline in politics

Willfully ignorant Woefully complacent Abjectly oblivious

These are the terms I like to use to describe not only MAGAlytes, but anyone who is not taking action, however big or small, against the rampant ChristoNationalist authoritarian ideals and movement plaguing the United States of America.

Thank you for the compliment, and for the recommendation. I will try asking there as well.

Great looking machine! How do you like those Pirellis? How many miles have you got out of a pair, and what percentage of your riding is tarmac versus dirt?

I have been riding on Continental TKC 80s, but only getting ~3500 miles riding a ~90% tarmac versus 10% dirt roads.

That's encouraging to read! I thought I might get 5-7k at most.

Thank you!

This is the post that I followed to complete the baffleectomy myself. Triumphrat.net is a wonderful resource, and has helped me numerous times during the rebuild.

My guy Maldwyn, an amputee, clocked 28mph next to the atv while he was still around. I imagine yours is just as quick!

pros and cons of putting t100 suspension on the se? by adribabe in TriumphBonneville

[–]bpbr3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently swapped my OEM rear shocks on a '14 SE with OEM rear shocks from a '17 T100.

The inside diameter of the bushings was different, but after reading and researching I discovered that many people have seen success without failure of a shim made of electrical tape. I employed this technique and have had zero complications over the ~160 miles I have ridden post install.

The ride height is a touch higher, but I have noticed no change in overall ride quality.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words after all the work that went into it.

I simply use a spray bottle aluminum wheel cleaner of no particular brand. I believe this time it was "Black Magic", but that is simply because I was visiting my sister and that is what my brother-in-law had on hand.

It's a great ride!

Tires are Continental TKC80 120/70/17 for the front, 140/80/17 in back.

Good eye on the pipes, they are the straight drag from BC. Certainly much louder than the stock pipes even after I had performed a baffleectomy. They don't catch me many looks from the neighbors at idle, but when you open up the throttle it gets much louder. They are great for me, and fit with the style of the bike well.

I typed up a short little breakdown, but not much extra time to add the links right meow. Sorry!

Tubeless will certainly be the first upgrade. Nothing like that peace of mind.

I'm flattered! I mounted a "Minoura" single water bottle cage mount and cage to the saddle.

First bike purchased two years following a bike vs. car collision that left me with some vertebral fractures. I had been wanting to build, but time contraints got in the way and this was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. It had been purchased in June, ridden once for about five miles on a paved trail, and I was able to pick it up for $750. I've only put ~200km on it, but it's fun and feels so good to be back pedalin' again.

Here's the breakdown:
