Here's one--

http://www.reduc.com/

Thanks, Steve. As it looks like I will soon be a Brit bike owner, I'll check it out. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a similar club here in Denver.

There are two British clubs in Colorado that I know of.

Norton Colorado
Rick Black, 4690 Pierce St. Wheatridge, CO. (303)420-2654

The other is Colorado British Bike Owners (or something like that)- the president, Ray Farrell, is a member of our club. I won't post his phone number but you can find it in the Colorado Springs directory.

2 great sites. Guess I'm more partial to the Brit site. How often do you see Vincents that actually are MOVING? Ah--and the Ariel square four--delightful! The classic Norton--priceless! What great pics!!
For those interested in the Honda Single Overhead Cam Engines--visit http://www.voicenet.com/~stauffer/
For those interested in the Kawasaki Z-1 visit

Uh, I know this place that is sort of "rough" if you like it like that. Check out Boomer's Homepage at http://www.wildboomer.com/. No flames please... every now and then I like to get back to my more wild and wooly days...Boomer takes me back there.

Thanks, Steve. I went down to Fay Myers today and they weren't too helpful themselves, although they gave me the name of a place called "Isles Motors" that does nothing but Triumph restorations. This guy should be a good source--I'll call him on Monday.

Does anyone have any connections to get us linked from
other motorcycle sites? We're talking pulling some strings here.

What might help is if we had an "intro page", like www.spring.com/motorcycles/ . This would make it easier to get links from large moto directories like Motorcycle Shopper. From there, of course, we can link to the spring.com page. I'm not sure that they'll link us if I submit "www.spring.com" and they find party pictures instead of a motorcycle site. ;-)

We can easily do that, are there any html whizzes here
that would volunteer to help with this page? We can easily
create a page like that. In fact, I'll create a skeleton page
now.

Folks, not sure how this got around to Heinlein books, but I have been a Heinlein fan since about 1957 or so when I read his 1st book, HAVE SPACESUIT WILL TRAVEL. I was 10 then. Since than, I have read all his books several times over...latest thing was the movie STARSHIP TROOPERS. Just my 2 cents worth.

Frank, I can't get the website URL to work for me, I'd love for Triumph to come out and tell us American riders that their commitment was firm and that they are in for the long haul. I still have a attachment to the new Hinckley Triumphs and it is fun to ride a "different" bike than everybody else has! If you can get me the proper URL, I will check it out. Thanks my friend.

Well here is my very first attempt to learn Web Pages... Unfortunately I do not have the ability to "Code My Own" that Jon does, and the publisher I am using leaves a bit to be desired. I inserted a few of the links you all have included here ( hope no one minds). All I need now is a better scanner so I can use better pics and a better publisher to get the look I want...

OK it seems XR has gone up in smoke (again). Here are 2 links of interest I put on there Tuesday: http://www.motorcyclememories.com , great books, manuals, posters, etc. They just sent me search results for 80's Laverda reference sources long enough I gotta download 'em, and the search is free! Which leads me to http://www.europeancycles.com, a California shop full of good stuff, including a Laverda RGS in the used bikes section, which *may* have my name on it..

I don't know; I think the helmet helps in the anonymity department...

Anyway, my new "mount" is a car, so I don't think I'll be wearing a helmet.
