How does that work? We can borrow against, but ING (contracted by employer to manage) gets the interest because they're actually making the loan. Rate is...
... We have Fidelity. We pay ourselves the interest because we're borrowing against our own savings. But if we quit before the loan is paid the money not...
Hi Everyone, I've just purchased my first motorcycle, a 2005 Triumph America! It is such an awesome motorcycle, I really love it. I have a question about...
Hi guys, Just joined the group and thought I had better introduce myself. My name is Ray, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. Born in Bristol, UK, but in Oz...
I have no idea what to tell you man. I own a 2004 Speedmaster and I have the long pipes (silencers) on them. I was told you couldn't knock out the baffles on...
My guess would be serious over rev, as in downshifting at the rev limiter. I've never heard of timing chain problems like that. I have heard of faulty...
You can drill out the baffles....i wouldent do it.......you both need to goto http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/ its a boatload of info....about losing the...
I got a long 3/8" drill bit and drilled out the hole in each pipe. Nex was a K&N air filter. Then checked the spark plugs to see if I was running too lean or...
... Welcome to the group, Ray. ... Nice bike. ... There were indeed occasional problems with the earlier bikes. If I recall correctly, the cam chain...
Hi Ray, I'm an expat too, born in Birkenhead, Merseyside, been living in Geelong, Vic, Oz for 29 yrs and still have the scouse accent to boot! Riding a 2001,...
Thanks Peter, I was definitely of the opinion this failure was rare, but maybe not as rare as I thought. Expensive exercise for which my wife is in no mood to...
Hi Dave, Thanks for the input. I'm assured that the bike just died, was making steady progress up until then, no over rev. The tensioner was also replaced, the...

David, You are right, you do have a great wife. Send me a photo, I could be interested in a swop!. Seriously though, a Triumph riding mate of mine's wife...
Ray, My wife paid the $2000 down payment on my 05 Thruxton last year. It was her idea for me to get it. And no, I don't want to swap, unless of course you want...
Ok I need to pull in on the vast resources of this club for your technical and moral support here. I have a TT600 that has already been modified to the point...
TFI--didn't know that kind of loan was even legal from a tax-deferred investment. You are in effect "paying cash" out of your own pocket, but taking it from...
My advice is forget the whole thing and join the Iron Butt club if your ego needs to do something exclusive. Accomplishing that on a 600cc sportbike will put...
