swooshdave Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 LOVE IT. I was trying to figure out the significance of the photo with the plane in the background. 10 Greenie Attitude points for the gentleman from Oregon. Do I get extra points because that building behind it houses the Spruce Goose? Get it, Goose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it when it was in Long Beach Harbor, next to the Queen Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swooshdave Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Early RedFrames will appreciate careful suspension tuning and tire selection (like all bikes). Very, very early RedFrames had steeper triple clamps. What is the build date on this bike you're looking at? Not sure of the build date but it's listed as a 2001. 7/2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swooshdave Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm not sure if this cover has ever been off before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 What are the two rubber bungs/plugs under the license plate for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is this right? It has to be able to move and it doesn't appear to be loose aside from what you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Those stabilize the larger, square license tags common to Europe. They can be repurposed . . . if you're fond of staying up late nights . . . and you're caught up on The Checklists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 hey Swooshdave...I watched your "sunny Sunday ride" while I was in there. I for one would love to see more of the 850. The Thruxton is cool. Was yours similar? What was the other guy riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Docc......... I like how you think. 45 caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Those are .38SPL+P. Fit the existing holes, cotter pinned from behind. The rubber stops are saved, of course, in my V11 stash. I'm always tickled at the "fender eliminators" and tail tidies. The back of my Sport looks like the chest of a Mexican general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'd be more interested in adding more lights back there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the other guy riding? https://youtu.be/POT32XnRG_o Here's the video from my buddy Mike on the Thruxton. https://youtu.be/Pj-wl08JCBI And the other bike... My Triumph was a T100. Similar to the Thruxton but less sporty. I did have the flyscreen and Thruxton exhaust. But no rearsets.
