one picture of my incoming post about a recent trip between Collioure (south of France near mediterranean sea) and Cadaques (Spain)
Fishermen in a small traditional boat


no error with the focus...I aim the boat and the men working on it, I have the other version too with bike focus and boat blurred in background... 2 pictures with very different result, which one do you like ?

My wife with my CB11 in Collioure... she just got her motorcycle driver's license ...


Just for some little ride waiting for her Triumph street twin...

after much thought and artistic appraisal ....... the one with the motorbike in it. That is, the in focus motorbike

purely from an art critique point of view of course, no preference for a CB over rub a dub dub

I sat on a street twin yesterday. Thought the CB1100 small, but the Street Twin is real small

It's for my wife, the street twin is too small for me and the CB11 too heavy for her. If the weather not too bad I will try the t120, low seat for me but I want to feel the différence with our cb11 on the road. Somebody in the forum compared the 2 bikes ?

My Triumph dealer called and said he had a T120 and unspoken for Thruxton R on the floor, so I went to go check them out.

My perception of the T120 is that it is indeed very small, narrow, and compact. The Thruxton even more so, but this doesn't detract from their appeal unless you are so tall or large of stature that the ergonomics become unworkable. For my 5' 10" frame, they seemed like a good fit. They are beautifully finished bikes and the details are spot on.

For now, my CBs do everything I need them to.

We've had a dry summer so the water levels at Sugarloaf are only at 60% of its 96,000 megalitre capacity.

The pub at St Andrews is a favourite for many motorcyclists and hotrod / classic car enthusiasts. A blues band plays most Sunday afternoons and the beer is always cold.

Just wow.
I can't help but keep coming back to this.
Beautiful bike, and beautifully executed.
Fantastic, modern, reliable recreation of my favorite style motorcycle, a cafe bike.
Looks like what I wanted to do with my '75 CB550, but ultimately just couldn't get it to where I wanted it, with what I was working with.
I'm more than envious...

Finally a sunny week in AK.

Figured I'd give you guys a view of my commute.

This photo was shot on a cruising trip yesterday while taking a rest
before returning home. The weather was luckily dry but not warm, kind of fresh.



Wisedrum

Good shots, Fearalls and wisedrum. Gee I like the look of those Alaskan mountains

Near Queenstown Tasmania.

Great pics Tezza, Wisedrum and Ferrealls!

Aussieflyer, I'm not a big fan of the cafe racer style, but your bike is absolutely gorgeous.
