Stopping by to show off

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Well, it has been an okay summer so far without much gamming
The not fun part has been lots of doctor’s visits, a little knee surgery and they finally got a camera up my butt

I just wanted to stop by and show off my new toy.
2005 Triumph Bonneville.
It's a very classic 60's 70's looking bike. It has 600 miles on it and runs like crap still. Needs carb clean out as it sat too long.
I got it running well enough to put 100 miles on it with some carb cleaner, but still needs some work.
The bike still looked show room new when I picked it up. My wife is gonna kill me if the bike doesn't.




See ya in the fall/winter

Very nice! Looks fun

Nice! Great for geocaching. You can ride back on all those trails. I just wouldn't do it at midnight.

Reminds me of the bike Elvis used in the movie Roustabout
You need some sideburns

Or a Steve McQueen bike

Ha Ha he bought a British bike
I used to love the sound of those things when I was young, back in the day when men were men.
Good luck with your little project, hope you get it running OK.
If you need spares I'll bring some over in my suitcase next week!

Yep, back in the day when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron!
A little carb work should make it right. Not sure if I want to attempt it myself. It's been a long time since I messed with a carb. Never mind two of them on the same engine

Great Escape!
Great Movie!
Great Actor!
Great Bike!
Much better than the Elvis scooter

Good luck on the bike and body repairs!

Nice one Grimp!
I'm seriously jealous.

My brother had a mint '73 T120RV
Classic bike, but he was ALWAYS working on it.
Hopefully things have changed a bit mechanically.

I've actually been in the market for the exact bike...but baby
put a damper on things.

Have fun Grimp!

I going to assume you are talking about the bike and not the camera.

Grimp, nice bike!

P.S. I would google "Grimp Butt Cam" but I am afraid (very afraid) of the answer. Hope all is well.

Enjoy! I miss my bike and would love to get another one but just can't afford it right now.

They found a couple thingys in my butt and cut them out. I don't think they were a big deal, but have not heard any results from testing them. I was totally awake and remember the whole thing.
I went to the police after and had them test me with a rape kit just in case.

I got mine for free from my borther or I would not have one either

Grimp...if you're ever up in the area we should go riding. I have an 81 Honda 500 Custom that's actually rising in value now! I registered it this year for the first time in 5 years...to my surprise it started right up and runs pretty well. I need to get it inspected and buy a brain bucket though.

I had a Honda CRX 500 back in the 80's. Loads of fun and the girls loved it.

I'm grateful and happy that Grimp is showing off his bike and not his butt cam
