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.

6 March, 2010


so I had to go to Pyongtaek City Hall to register the bike and get the Korean Tag. it is about 15 miles to get there and is the nearest population center to the base I am on.


so in the space of 15 miles, I lost a mirror, almost got creamed by a bus, damn near froze to death, came close to dying of asphyxiation/carbon monoxide, got lost a couple times and was the victim of blatant racism.

then I had to ride back to the base. I got back to the base about 3.5 hours after I left.


Overall the bike ran Ok, it really does not like the stock pipes and the jetting is off. but after the base registration tomorrow, the loud pipes and fat jets are going back in it.

a beer sounds really good right now.
