Help me find a green bike

LOVE IT.  I was trying to figure out the significance of the photo with the plane in the background. 10 Greenie Attitude points for the gentleman from Oregon.

 

Do I get extra points because that building behind it houses the Spruce Goose? Get it, Goose!

You get a Goose IPA. Must be present to win.

 

 

So the Spruce Goose in Oregon now? I saw it when it was in Long Beach Harbor, next to the Queen Mary.

Yup. They weren't taking care of it down there so it's up here now.

Early RedFrames will appreciate careful suspension tuning and tire selection (like all bikes). Very, very early RedFrames had steeper triple clamps. What is the build date on this bike you're looking at?

 

 

Not sure of the build date but it's listed as a 2001.

7/2000

Well, no worries about you having the very early steeper triples. My 3/2000 is a "2000" and doesn't have them.

I'm not sure if this cover has ever been off before.

What are the two rubber bungs/plugs under the license plate for?

Is this right? It has to be able to move and it doesn't appear to be loose aside from what you can see.

^^^^ yep.

Those stabilize the larger, square license tags common to Europe. They can be repurposed . . . if you're fond of staying up late nights . . .  and you're caught up on The Checklists.

hey Swooshdave...I watched your "sunny Sunday ride" while I was in there. I for one would love to see more of the 850. The Thruxton is cool. Was yours similar? What was the other guy riding?

[footgoose]

Docc......... I like how you think.         45 caliber?

[docc]

Those are .38SPL+P.  Fit the existing holes, cotter pinned from behind. The rubber stops are saved, of course, in my V11 stash.

 

I'm always tickled at the "fender eliminators" and tail tidies. The back of my Sport looks like the chest of a Mexican general.

I'd be more interested in adding more lights back there.

Here's the video from my buddy Mike on the Thruxton.

And the other bike...

 

 

My Triumph was a T100. Similar to the Thruxton but less sporty. I did have the flyscreen and Thruxton exhaust. But no rearsets.
