SaddleSore Triumph Billy

Stealing this from the Milk Barn. Our British hero, Billy just pulled an SS1000 on a chopper.

i made it left mansfield ct at 1:51 sat morning for lake erie got back sun morn at 1:24. just made it. flyer ran great ecept for the electrics, which has been solid for a long while and the last thing i was worried about. 50 miles into the trip in springfield ma my headlight went, took it apart it was exploded , taillight also. put in new bulbs on the side of the highway , 5 miles later no more head light ,. so i used my headlight flashlight, and limped 20 miles to my schedueld stop in blanford ma. waited an hour and a half until daylight. tailight still worked so i thought i would get a nother headlight and rewire it later. gas milage at 63 mph is about 44 mpg at a steady 75 its 34 , so with a three gal tank i was shootin for the 90 mile mark, on the fourth stop i put in 2.85 gal that was close.kept the rain suit on all the time hit 4 or5 different small scale storms, adjusted the rear chain 3 times, used 28.34 gallons of gas, eat arbys coffe and cigs, 1/2 a quart of oil for the bike which never skipped a beat, besides the chain nothin else came loose .,never put a wrench to it.tail light was now dead and i was gettin no power any where,[lucky its got a mag]so i stopped at a lowes and bought a led headbandlightand another big flashlight , put my old one on red for the taillight, tapped the new one to the headlight and strapped the flashlight to my tank bag, it worked ok , the turnpike was well lit and i stayed in traffic, the last 25 miles was the darkest but it worked good enough.it was fun ,gettin gas checkin maps, keepin the logbook,eatin jerky smokin cigs, and coffee ,but it was tuff my left hand is swollen , saddle is sore, backs crooked, legs are toast,but id do it again. thanks to murdercycles Ray for the inspiration ... bc









I am so fucking impressed. He did it on a chopper he built himself. It is hard to do on a touring bike. BILLY RULES.
