My new baby, Ewan. A used 2010 Triumph Bonneville T100 Cafe Racer. The owner before was the one who made it into a cafe, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop tinkering around with it. The wish tends to grow by the day, but the main thing I want to do is either A) clean up all the wires and electronic components let in the open from the airbox and side cover removal. Or B) get number plates for the side covers and run my motocross number. I've been racing since I was 4 years old, so it's a huge part of my life. But this forum isn't about motocross..... so enough with that and onto the Triumph.
From the very first test ride-
I'm a photojournalism student, so I have access to studio space, and my Alternative Process professor is amazing. So she had the idea to take the bike up into the studio on the second floor and shoot Wet Plate Colodian Tintypes of the bike. Fitting a streetbike into an elevator is not the easiest thing to do might I add. We were just glad that the Dean had left for the night, as we were not quite sure if this was against the rules or not...
And the Wetplate (not the best photo, it was from my phone and the plate was still in the water washing)
Here is my new to me Caspian Blue 2006, D&D pipes, AI removal, Airbox delete, and clubmans. Loving it so far, it's not as quick as my sportbikes but it's badass.

Got bored at work yesterday and tried out the new edit features on photobucket on a pic of my Thruxton. Thought I'd share
