[WhiteSpyder]

Not doing much with the Spyder this winter. It is running great, so I have decided to catch up on my 2 wheeled interests. I am bringing this old bike out of storage. I pretty much quit riding it sometime before the Covid thing hit. It is a 2002 Triumph America. I have owned it since 2014. Needs some clean up. I upgraded some of it's lighting this week. Had it running the other day. It just needs some soap and water and exercise. I also may need to service it's chain and buy it a front tire before I ride it TOO far. Really solid old bike ! ...J.D.

Spent some time this week putting this old machine right. I get more joy making old things run well, than I would buying something new. Did a couple of minor upgrades this week that I have had on my wish list. Also put some new spark plugs in it. She sounds great now. Another old vehicle I will have around to enjoy beside my Spyder this summer. ...J.D.

I've always wanted to chop a 650 Bonnie with an Amen Saviour frame and use it as a barhopper. Not a big fan of the gas tank, though...

I have wanted a Triumph chopper for years. This one is factory except for some added accessories, but these later air cooled bikes have a much better drivetrain then the old ones. This has been the most reliable bike I have ever owned. It would be cool to use this engine in a custom frame. ...J.D.
