My 2002 TBA

2002 Triumph Bonneville America

NOTE: I’m having problems with the plug-in I’m using to display images from my Picasa galleries. If you don’t see thumbnails below, you can access all of my photos there.

45,000+ miles since purchase in late March, 2002 (as of 1/1/2010). Lots of modifications, lots of new friends, and lots of great scenery. Been a great ride so far.

Custom Lightbar Bracket (2003)

The factory Triumph lightbar was too wide for my tastes. I designed my own bracket, cut it out, polished it up and had it chromed.
