At least, fish, I drag the trailer with the bike and not the other way around. ...as I know some do.
Absolutely GD right, dix. When I saw the Honda nameplate, I figured it probably didn't spend a lot of time on a trailer.

Thanks, Doug. Should not have posted these :cry made me remember how much play I got with that bike . Pictures don't show how deceptively fast she was. Had a build/bluebprinted 100cc + engine and then I lighten every piece of rolling resistance I could, flywheel/wheels, primary gears, etc. No big deal on top end, but from 0 to whatever, she was a monster
I see you've done some nice customizing on her. Light bars, floor boards, and that "Indian front fender" + more. Most of the folks round here been retroing there triumphs to look like the early cafe racer types. I like your way.
Sweet . Be careful out there asphalt hurts big time, I know wxwax

Beeeaauuutiful!!! Which way did you go? North or toward the Smokies?
How long has it been closed... I was there in mid January and it was all clear, but then again, this March has been a cold one!!
Ride safe... Ride free...

The winter gates, I mean. They finnaly opened the winter gates. They're only open to Mitchell right now, which is north from asheville. There's about 6 miles through Asheville that remain open year round, weather permiting. But it's clogged with commuters and such, and there's no views or elevation. I'm hoping they open the BRP south of Asheville soon, as it's my favorite direction to go. Soooooo nice up there!!!
Whatcha ride? Got any pics?

OK... not too familiar with that section, sure would be nice to relocate to the Asheville area though.
I have a 2002 Triumph Bonneville America, a sweet bike, though not as smooth, precise and refined as a BMW, it looks fat, like a cruiser, but will blow away most Asian cruisers and ALL American bikes in the twisties. Mine is set up low, so the pipes do drag, but hey, the sparks are cool!!
I'll post a new picture of her this weekend. I'll get out tomorrow for a few hours anyway.

Bonne's are great motorcycles, I love them triples. I've ridden a daytona and a sprint. Both are more bike then I *need*. Especially the daytona....but that sprint would have been an execelent sport tourer.
Shot sparks (to the utter shock and awe of my riding partner!) from my left footpeg a couple weeks ago. Gotta really leeeaan that bmw to get the pegs down! But, yes, sparks are cool.

It's too bad about the fire they had a few years ago, but they've done a good job of rebuilding.
Here are 3 of my British Bikes, Norton 850, Rickman Metisse-650 Triumph, BSA B50MX.

This one was totally rebuilt after the fire worth a lot of money
Here is a more recent photo of my 2002 TRIUMPH Bonneville America. I took this today during a 170 mile ride through the Daniel Boone National Forest. That is Nada Tunnel in the background.

My WR450 in the middle of nowhere Missouri:
I also have an ST1100, but don't have any pix of it online. Got a lot of pix of my club (HSTA) in this gallery.
IMHO, the best bike available ...
