My Name is Bones and I am a Rocker. In 2004 I bought a 1971 Triumph Bonneville T120RV. Having grown up on Rock 'n Roll, it was not a far leap to find myself drawn to British Rocker Culture of the 1950's and 60's. My Occupation as a American Service Member has afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. with this bike I have been to the Arctic in Alaska, to the deep-dirty south of Lower Alabama to the white sand beaches of Waikiki to my current location near the city of Pyongtaek, in South Korea. My assignment here is for 12 months and I will chronicle my adventure here.

22 August, 2010

Damn it is hot.

I mean it is seriously hot. it is in the 90s with 85 - 90% humidity.

That is just miserable.

Riding in that is like sitting in from of a giant hair dryer.

But anyway, you do not read this to see me bitch about the weather. Todays ride was a short little blast around Pyeongtaek, to shake loose any bugs from the numerous little repairs and adjustments I have made since I got back.

Proper Jetting, new clutch cable, and a 19 tooth drive sprocket (I was running a 20 tooth previously)

Basically this thing screams. It will also pull the front wheel in first through third gear.

the floats on the the right hand carb are still sticking though. hmm

    Hi Bones

    Nice blog, I am a Danish motorcyclist with a keen interest in caferacers, riding old BSA's, Ducati's and Yamaha SR500's. I am going to Seoul for work from september to december this fall, and would like to hear if you could recommend some places to go.

    Best Regards
