Just stumbled across these fun pencils at St. Louis Art Supply today.

Stopped by St. Louis Art Supply and Urban Matters today while on a few days trip to St. Louis and picked these up for a fun selection!

They just sent out the teaser for the next Volumes box. What do you think it is?

(I’m just learning about carburetor maintenance, forgive my ignorance) 2007 Triumph America. Why are these caps on these ports? Should they always be on there?

I’m sort of flying blind as I haven’t found a specific look at this carburetor online to know what the pieces are without taking them out but I’m assuming this piece I received in my rebuild kit is this one circled. However, I don’t know how to go about removing it since it’s essentially flush with a slight edge.

This is a little outside my budget but I know there’s plenty of LoTR fans in this sub! Such a fun release!

New drop just landed from the BW folks! I know there’s at least a couple LoTR fans in here. It’s a little out of my budget, unfortunately, but manalive what a drop!

Howdy. So, this America sat in a dilapidated shed for a few years with fuel in the tank. I brought it to my garage a couple years ago and siphoned the tank but that’s as far as I got because I don’t know my ass from a hole in the ground with bikes. But I picked up an ultrasonic cleaner, determined to clean the carb and see if I can get the bike going, and found this lovely verdant hue inside.

Am I still in cleaning territory or will I need to replace pieces?

I just picked up a package of these via The Gentleman Stationer website. They’re not rigid and quite bendable, however, they feel stable and sturdy on my pencils and I think they’ll provide plenty enough protection while carrying around in my field journal. Time will tell!

I do and don’t, I’m not sure why I choose to for certain pencils and don’t for others. What say you?

Father bought it brand new off-the-lot with 12 miles on it. It’s been parked since ‘21 due to some mechanical issues. I’d like to dig into and figure out how to get her mobile again.

Hi all, my FIL passed away and these were left in his decaying shop. We had the garage space to rescue them so a friend of his with a trailer helped transport them to our place.

I wasn’t raised around bikes and have extremely modest mechanical knowledge (I’ve done minor front end repairs like cv axles/suspension repairs on our vehicles). A kind member of a Triumph forum gifted me the complete shop service manual for the America to try and get it running as it was the most recent to run in ‘18 or ‘19.

Just here to say hello and get to learning on how to get the America, and hopefully the rest, in shape some day.
