I can safely say my bike is with ME
Had a great experience at Ironheart yesterday (even though Paula's cup of tea never materialised ;)) and will certainly be back down for some other bits….. and a cuppa.
-
@bryaneidins70 - it was great to see you.
I am so embarrassed I completely forgot your tea
- I do apologise! I hope my poor hospitality won't stop you from visiting us again in the future, [url=https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10500]@Sam will never forgive me! -
You looked busy yesterday Paula. I wil most definitely be back down.

@bryaneidins70 I'm glad to hear that your bike remained in your possession. It's a nice looking machine, and I've got a soft spot for the Boxers. Sorry to hear that @Madame Buttonfly didn't supply you with tea, though.
@Sam did you make it to Alton? We need
bike pornphotos of the Racer!@louisbosco I thought that I'd posted it before. Ah well, never hurts to have a second viewing.
-
@louisbosco he had a little dispute with a massive metal animal transporter trailer. Needless to say, he lost
-
@bryaneidins70 we'll make you all of the tea next time you visit…all of it! Although we've run out today so @Sam is sad & beverageless
-
With the Luis Moto tank strap. I think with some time and sun the color difference will mellow. I just need some better weather now.
-
That looks great @summ3rhays !
-
@bryaneidins70 some serious magic had been worked on your jeans by @Giles. We'll get them sent out to you asap
-
Oooooo… I love a bit of magic.
-
One for @louisbosco, though I suspect that he's already seen it: BMW M4 GTS vs S1000RR
Sticking with BMW crotch rockets a second, Cycle World's list of notable new gear includes the Spidi Warrior 2 Wind Pro Suit, which would sit will with the Motorrad racing colours. It's also one of the few sets of off-the-shelf leathers that don't induce a migraine.
For those with more traditional tastes, here's a new retro jacket from BKS. It'll fall into the "reassuringly expensive" category.
-
I like the jacket. The reassuringly experience part… not so much.
-
@summ3rhays I think that the BKS jackets are around £2000! Although that's about
$2.39$2450 at current post-Brexit exchange rates.
The suit price is fairly similar, though they go up quite rapidly with extras. It's not a cheap pastime, but definitely worth it if you fall off…

@MP:
…..I haven't had a chance to ride a Roadster yet, but that's the other Harley on the list. The Triumph Bobber is another interesting proposition, which should be on sale soon. I sat on one at Moto Expo and it felt pretty comfortable.
I traded in my street triple last October for the Roadster. The street triple was a thief magnet, my first one got stolen after 10 weeks and the replacement had thee new ignition barrels after theft attempts in three years. Also the battery was a pain for draining after a few days not riding. The Harley has had no tampering whatsoever. I think the keyless ignition, alarm and immobiliser makes then not worth the hassle of theft when locked up to something solid. No issues at all in the months since buying it and now has a natty Roland sands exhaust and rough crafts air filter fitted (as well as a new seat to replace the very uncomfortable stock seat). Harley's are very reliable these days and the only downside (on the wallet) is the massive amount of aftermarket parts available; you can personalise/modify/upgrade them to your heart's content.

@MP if you're in Melbourne, City Triumph in Abbotsford had a few Bobbers on display last time I dropped by.
I haven't heard of any reliability problems with the new Bonneville range. My Thruxton has started first time whenever I've taken it out, which hasn't been much recently because I'm waiting for a new pair of glasses to arrive.
If you're local, give me a shout if you want to take a look at the bike.

Hey everyone! I feel like I am posting this in the most appropriate place given the topic and what we are about.
Just to introduce ourselves briefly, we are a custom motorcycle shop based on the South Coast of the England, close to Chichester and the Goodwood Race Circuit. We carry out work ranging from subtle electrical modifications to complete custom builds.
Along side the workshop side of things we also have a coffee shop and retail space. So if you every find yourself down this neck of the woods, drop in for a coffee, check out some great gear and have a chat about some tasty modifications you may have in mind for your ride.
If you really want to get to know what we are all about, we are having a Spring BBQ Ride-In on the 1st April. We've got a tight customer base and a lot of them should be along on their bikes so you'll get a good chance to see some of our past work. (More on the event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1242900855806238/)
Looking forward to seeing more on this thread!

Welcome @foundrymotorcycle I'll most likely pop in for a visit soon! Feel free to come this way too. If you have any images to post of past and present projects i'm sure we'd all love to see them.

Fun ride yesterday to Antelope Island. There were a ton of buffalo around. We were a little to close for my comfort. They are huge and fast.
