This bit of wordsmith trickery translates into what is a type of ignition interrupt that allows the rider keep the throttle pinned whilst snicking up through the close-ratio six-speed gear-set, as used for several years on the <span style="font-weight: bold;">roadracing </span>circuit. <span style="font-weight: bold;">BMW </span>says it enables "fast gear changes without having to ease off the gas and operate the clutch," and that "this <span style="font-weight: bold;">technology </span>is offered for the first time in a series vehicle."</div><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GmlJ2al7e_k/S3wfBVKYUWI/AAAAAAAAIvs/kE0PiOwV1tc/s1600-h/2008+BMW+HP2+Sport+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GmlJ2al7e_k/S3wfBVKYUWI/AAAAAAAAIvs/kE0PiOwV1tc/s400/2008+BMW+HP2+Sport+1.jpg" alt="2008 BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycles" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439256557677728098" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Here's a peek at the "gear shift <div class="fullpost">assistant."

The forged-aluminum footpegs are adjustable. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A quick scan of the chassis shows fully-adjustable Öhlins shocks keeping the rear Paralever and front Telelever in check. What isn't quite as obvious at first glance is just how minimal the frame is. It's really nothing more than a small collection of tubular steel to hang the engine from and to provide a place for the bodywork and fuel tank to bolt to. Lacking a traditional subframe, the Sport utilizes a self-supporting carbon rear structure as a perch for the rider’s hiney.</p><p><br /></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GmlJ2al7e_k/S3wfAxtC-xI/AAAAAAAAIvk/mkEdNoQRC-U/s1600-h/2008+BMW+HP2+Sport+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GmlJ2al7e_k/S3wfAxtC-xI/AAAAAAAAIvk/mkEdNoQRC-U/s400/2008+BMW+HP2+Sport+2.jpg" alt="2008 BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycles" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439256548159453970" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This hopped-up head sports larger valves than those on the R1200S, and is part of the performance package that is claimed to produce 128 hp and 84.8 ft-lbs of torque.</span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Braking is handled by radially mounted four-piston monoblock Brembo calipers and Magura brake levers with radial-pump master cylinders attached to the adjustable handlebars.

When you stop, you must stop the engine and then peddle to get started again. <br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><b></b></span></span>[ 1920 ABS Sopwith ]<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRu8F300L5VrDaabnK_ountO5f7lVawFFM3nqU22FsdKVc8kFpcdAPDUcpTRtA5OdvBLJ5cRgq4CTIB8bOsOCMf_mXg3BAyrOJ6s_Fb4rPhjuM4k3HlikFHRjsrL9XKr46ZlG8bRfXyG8/s1600-h/1920-ABS-Sopwith1-750.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRu8F300L5VrDaabnK_ountO5f7lVawFFM3nqU22FsdKVc8kFpcdAPDUcpTRtA5OdvBLJ5cRgq4CTIB8bOsOCMf_mXg3BAyrOJ6s_Fb4rPhjuM4k3HlikFHRjsrL9XKr46ZlG8bRfXyG8/s200/1920-ABS-Sopwith1-750.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5036841539488605330" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"></span></span>Designed by the All British (Engine) Company (ABC) it was built by Sopwith Engineering, the same people who made the Sopwith Camel WWI airplane. This bike was very innovative and is generally considered as the engine that BMW copied in 1925 (BMW also made airplanes in WWI). This bike has front and rear suspension, overhead valves, a 4-speed transmission and an electric generator.

There was just something that drew me to that bike like a cop to a doughnut. I called a buddy of mine who has a salvage business (I do his paint) and told him to be on the look out for a new Triumph, I didn't care what just something affordable. About two weeks later he called and said he found an '06 Bonneville black on an auction that had smoke damage. We wound up winning it for $300.00!</strong></p><div align="center"><strong>As winter drew near and "new project" time got closer I decided to use this for a donor bike – something a little different from the norm, while being modern and reliable, and yet still cool. So I had a power plant, and no idea what to build around it. I did some research on 1900's to 1930's European bikes of all types and tried to make a mental note of what was cool. I suppose that the main things that stuck out were the tank style (loosely after a 1910 Triumph), the druid style front end, the knobbies, center stand, and friction steering dampener.</strong></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>For the frame, I went with a lugged design for some extra detail, and made the cradle removable to help stick with that European style. I did the jackshafted drive to clean up the right side of the wheel, and really to just try something different. Once I got that figured out is when I decided to try a drum rear brake mounted to the jackshaft. I tried several old drums of different makes but nothing was quite right so I had to hunker down and make one. I wound up using aluminum, which I heat-shrunk a sleeve into. The real pain in the arse on this was making it all fit together without too much runout.</strong></p><div align="center"><strong>Early one Saturday morning I mounted a sort of traditional rear fender and bicycle seat. It was pretty cool but it just didn't do it. Later that night I sat down with a print-out of the bike up on the table and started drawing. I loosely sketched the café boat tail thing, and SHIZAAM – it was awesome. I went to the shop the next morning and got started bending up some rod! I suppose this is where the whole project shifted gears from classy antique custom to 1900-ish café racer sort of thing. Race bike in mind, the 2-into-1 lakester pipes and drop bars fit naturally. Another thing I really wanted was inverted levers. Not wanting to copy what </strong><strong>Dave Cook</strong><strong> is famous for, I called him up and wound up getting away with the very first set of stainless levers he has ever made. </strong></div><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S13M8FOGFDI/AAAAAAAAHJY/tA_dTsraLMw/s1600-h/tt-deluxe-pic8.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430722058244199474" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S13M8FOGFDI/AAAAAAAAHJY/tA_dTsraLMw/s320/tt-deluxe-pic8.jpg" /></a></p><div align="center"><strong>For paint I wanted to stay sort of scalloped style (Triumph thing). The logos on the tank are copper leaf versions of the 1910-1914 triumph logo. The "3" has nothing to do with NASCAR, this is my third complete bike build, and yes, the other two are numbered as well. My wife, Lindsay, and I spent evenings at the kitchen table doing the leather work. The wiring on this bike was probably the biggest challenge. A modern engine with all the emissions and safety crap has a wiring diagram that looks like a bowl of spaghetti noodles. At first I went through a lot of trouble to find someone who'd tackled the task before.....no luck. It seems everyone who's ever done one of these simply stuffs the entire factory harness and all of its "mystery boxes" into a fake oil tank, which was not the route I wanted to take. I sat down with a factory diagram, the original harness, and a volt-ohm meter, around 30 or so hours later I had myself what is apparently the first ever chopper-style </strong><strong>wiring schematic</strong><strong> for a modern Triumph in existence. A lot of headaches, but I now have some pretty clean wiring that only uses what I need – no horn, no dimmer, no emissions, no safety crap, just good old spark, charging, and lights. </strong></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Tech Sheet</span></strong></strong></p><div align="center"><strong><a href="http://www.lcfabrications.com/index.shtml">Fabrication: LC Fabrications<br /></div></a></strong><div align="center"><strong>Year and Make: 2008 Special Construction<br />Model: TT Deluxe<br />Assembly by: LC Fabrications<br />Time: 6 months<br />Chroming: none</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>Engine</strong><br />Year: 2006<br />Model: Triumph<br />Rebuilder: Jeremy Cupp<br />Ignition: nology<br />Displacement: 865cc<br />Carb: Keihin CR<br />Air cleaner: Strom 97<br />Pipes: 2 into 1 by LC Fabrications</p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>Transmission</strong><br />Modifications: Jackshafted final drive</p><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>Painting</strong><br />Molding: LC Fabrications<br />Painter: LC Fabrications<br />Color: Black/Tan<br />Type: Chromabase</p><div align="center"><strong>Frame</strong><br />Year: 08<br />Builder: LC Fabrications<br />Rake: 28 or so<br />Stretch: lots in backbone<br />Other: removable cradle</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>Accessories</strong><br />Bars: LC Fabrications<br />Headlight: eBay<br />Taillight: LC Fabrications<br />Front Pegs: LC Fabrications<br />Electrics: LC Fabrications<br />Gas Tank: LC Fabrications<br />Seat: Jeremy and Lindsay Cupp</p><div align="center"><strong>Forks</strong><br />Type: Druid<br />Builder: LC Fabrications<br />Special Features: Friction dampers</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><strong>Wheels</strong><br /><em>Front</em> –<br />Size: 19<br />Hub: conical mini drum<br />Rim: cheap<br /><em>Rear</em> –<br />Size: 19<br />Hub: H-D<br />Rim: cheap<br />Tires: Firestone military bias<br />Brakes: drum on jackshaft</p></strong><div align="center"><strong>(Bron:)</strong></div><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><a href="http://www.lcfabrications.com/index.shtml">Jeremy Cupp, LC Fabrications</a></strong><br /></div><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

It is a great weekend...lots of classic and vintage bikes, a very casual event which means it is OK for the spectators to walk around the pits and the riders are happy to talk to everyone. We can get up close to the machines and some of the hero riders from many years ago. However this year there where not so many vintage bikes. I was thinking of you and trying to get some photos of motorcycles that the DVMA enthusiasts would like to see. </strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430996788134794210" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S17Gzd0P0-I/AAAAAAAAHLA/IdYFcjSLUQ0/s400/ducati_gaston_vanzet.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430996964350389442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S17G9uRUbMI/AAAAAAAAHLI/_wxSlJJaPjM/s400/norton_gaston_vanzet.jpg" /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430997137468829554" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S17HHzL-L3I/AAAAAAAAHLQ/5e0vOB1SX7M/s400/velocette_gaston_vanzet.jpg" /> <p align="center"><strong></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Here are as few that I found that might interest you. </strong></span></p><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430998402766847042" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HlyXxI87Uh0/S17IRcyhvEI/AAAAAAAAHLY/coo_BSZ8mvE/s400/batbike_gaston_vanzet.jpg" /><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Also the Batbike for your movie motorcycle set, we can't forget that one...</strong></span></p></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>I want to draw that one one day.</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Our summer is not as hot as last year when we had the fires but it was 49 degrees Celsius </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>at a place near us the other day.
