[Denim Phenom]

Oh snap, world traveler 'n shit.

[edmond]

[Denim Phenom]

That's not you. Are you doing any of the work or having someone build it for you?

[edmond]

[PETEROCK1]

and my favorite of the day....

65' panhead

[superbeveridge]

Just arrived from the Canadian supplier today. I am a dealer so I get really insane prices on gear.

[edmond]

maybe you can hook us up with some good shoei full face?

[superbeveridge]

I can always hook up people, just not as good as I get. The distributor gives me his cost in hopes that I carry more of his stuff. Dealer cost is a whole other banana. I hate saying this but you best bet is always to try it on in a store first and then buy it online. It will save you tonnes of money. Then again that is the reason why Motorcycle shops are closing left right and center.

[wild style]

I actually bought my helmet at a local shop. While I felt like an idiot when I realized I could have saved a good $50 by purchasing it online, I did feel good about supporting a small motorcycle shop run by some good dudes. Its hard for the little man to compete with internet giants these days so I'll do whatever I can to help (within reason of course).

[kiya]

My new shit.

2010 Bonneville T-100

Almost soiled my panties riding it home from the dealer, i've never ridden anything this fast before. I guess that's what happens when you're used to cruisers and you sit on a 900cc bike that's not a cruiser.

[wild style]

Fucking awesome!

[PETEROCK1]

fucking dope, kiya! congrats!!!!!!

i need to get mines soon so we can cruise.......

[kiya]

I love the Triumphs but they will be even better with a unique paint job. I am a big fan of a metallic root beer i saw on a vintage vespa once. My next bike will have that colour. The dude from Falcon makes fantastic bikes. I wish I could afford one his builds. Would rep if I could.

correct me if im wrong, i thought everything after 70s was standard?

[edmond]

not sure man

[Lars]

Looks pretty nice ed! What colors are you going to paint it?

[billy.]

fuck u kiya & edmond

[edmond]

ssup boys love ya billy

i need some inputs on the color pls

[Denim Phenom]

I don't think that twisted round bar is going to hold up. Most frames are made from at the least, 7/8" tubing.

Ditch the tank for something less bubbly and paint the wheels black.
