Thruxton Rear Fender Mod

This is a video I made for some friends online who were interested to see how I planned to modify the rear mud guard (that's Australian for fender) of my Triumph Thruxton. I decided rather than making a boring tutorial which would NOT be my style at all, that I'd take the opportunity to give my mates a bit of a laugh at the same time. There is also a bit of a Steve Irwin skit in this video, and I want it to be clear that this was actually filmed about a year before Steve passed away. My impression of Steve here is done with all due respect to a great Australian.

I take it this can be also be done with a fender on the normal Bonnie T100 too, I much prefer the shortened fender look.

Wait a minute. "Brewski"? I was told that "fosters" is the Australian word for beer.

[thunzie]

Nah, bless ya. Brewski is a generic term for beer, as in 'a brew'. And nobody in Australia actually drinks Fosters because as a beer it rates somewhere near warm urine. We brew it to keep the tourists away from our supplies of the good stuff :)
