I'm Gianluca G. from Livorno - Italy. My nickname on the 675 Forum is Rodeo. I'm sorry if i don't write a lot on the forum but my english is very
poor, but I always read the forum, and i take a lot of ideas from this pages.
I'm writing this email to you because I thinck that my bike can win the BOTM of may. I pass all the winter to prepare the bike and the design of the paint is mine. The idea of the paint is that the fueltank must remain red because I want tho change the "track version" and the "street version" w/o problems.
I use the bike for track-days at Mugello, Misano and Vallelunga circuit in the summer and the others mounths for runs on the road with my friends
I enjoy the ride with this bike: the engine is awesome, the suspension are great and the frame is very good. I have only changed the setting of the suspension: I lift the front and lower the rear. The bike run better into the corners.
The bike specifications are:
HPE FULL INCONEL EXHAUST SYSTEM
BMC AIR FILTER
MUPO SUSPENSION FRONT RACING CARTRIDGE
MUPO SUSPENSION REAR RACING SHOCK with Hi-Low speed and IDRAULIC PRELOAD
MATRIX STEERING DAMPER
WALTERMOTO ADJUSTABLE REARSET
KOMPOTECH RACING BODYWORK
HOME-MADE SEAT
TRIUMPH HIGH WINDSCREEN
MY-CHRON LIGHT LAP-TIMER
PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SC2 TYRES
I take some picture to show you all the details of the bike. I send them in 3 emails. I hope that it is able to be worthy of the prize.
Cheers - Rodeo

Why my Daytona 675 should be Bike of The Month for June 2007:
Because it’s time Graphite got its rightful place in the spotlight!! Just kiddin’! ?
Well first some background, I was previously riding a nicely modified 1997 Buell S1 Lightning for the last 6 years. Around 2004 I was dieing to upgrade to a newer bike. Owning the Buell and me being me, I just couldn’t settle for a standard I4 cookie cutter bike. I wanted something different. At the time I was seriously considering the 4 cyl D650 but I just didn’t have the means to make it happen. Naturally my reaction was to instead continue modifying my Buell! 
It’s in my blood! I like to work on them almost as much as riding them!!
Fast forward to late 2005 / early 2006, I started seeing the pics of the 675 and hearing all the reports come in on how great it was. From the pics alone I knew it was going to be my next bike! I kept my head down with my eye on the prize and finally I purchased this bike new off the floor on Jan 3rd of this year. I had been lurking on triumph675.net for a couple of months on and off, watching for major decision breaking mechanical info to surface, as well trying to keep an eye on the aftermarket arena as I am whole heartedly a self-diagnosed member of Modders Anonymous. Everything worked out and I made the plunge! I joined up the forum about 2 weeks before I went to buy it and started making my way into becoming a contributing member of the community, standard newbie questions included!
After running a very cold 60 miles on it the day I picked it up from the dealer, I went home and parked it in the garage and immediately started taking it apart! I had already purchased a few mods to go on and had some pretty big plans for what I wanted to do with it. I figured if I bought it in January I wouldn’t be riding it much. I could get as much of my major modding done as possible over the rest of the winter and it would mean little to no downtime over the riding season. (That’s wisdom of a previous lesson learned on undertaking major bike modifications in mid-riding season, since at the time it sounded like a great idea!)
Lots of UPS/FED-Ex/USPS deliveries started to show up at the house, I had lots of bolt-ons to install but had to wait on most of them as I wanted to re-assemble the bike all at the same time. Plus even some of the bolt-on mods were waiting to be modified! My garage was starting to look like a bike shop parts rack! And everyday when I came home I was getting increasing degrees of the “evil eye” from the Mrs. as she handed over the day’s deliveries. Still I pushed forward. The graphite and gold combination works so well together I thought it was the best approach as a grab your attention by the horns effect when seeing the bike. I had done the “stealth” black out style on the previous bike and wanted to go a bit different with this one. The 675 already commands your attention to its striking appearance bone stock, and I wanted to build that up just a bit. Hence “GoldMember” was born!
The main-event project consisted of tearing off everything aluminum I could get ahold of to send off for custom gold anodizing. After weeks of searching locally I could not find anyone to do the darker gold color like the forks. I ended up finding a place in South Carolina that could do it for me over the internet. So after talking with them I packed up everything and shipped it off. They only had pictures to go by but thought they could come pretty close to the right color, and that was the best offer I had yet! Most places didn’t want anything to do with it. Stock colors only. The other battle we faced was the alloy of the parts. Different companies use all sorts of different ranges of alloy in their cast parts, (dubbed Japanesium by the anodizer’s! Haha!) Most stock parts on the bike being cast you never know what you’re going to get when they come out of the anodizing tanks. Some parts take colors better then others, surprisingly the alloy of the “Japanesium of the Triumph parts was very good according to the anodizer’s. Even still you can see that not all the parts I had done are exactly the same color, most are but there a couple of variances.
I worked with the anodizing shop over a couple of weeks while everything was being done. Looking at pictures and re-running parts to get them as close as possible and uniform in color across the parts. I sent additional parts out to be done other then stock stuff as well, and had to wait for them to arrive to be resent out. The whole process took over 3 months for all the parts to arrive, disassembly of the bike, shipping & anodizing and re-assembly of the bike. Over all the custom anodized parts are a bit dark/orange in gold compared to the stock forks, and brake bits etc which now look more yellow gold. However I still think it looks great! It definitely will catch your attention even more then before. With the Rizoma parts, the Tasty Nuts bolts, & the Pazzo’s as well as the brake parts and the factory decals there are just enough parts in each of the two shades of gold to balance each other out across the bike as a whole! I think it came out stunning!
I really put a lot of time and work into getting the bike where she is now. I never really half-ass anything so I started off with a big a bang on this project. I plan to keep the bike for some time so thought I might as well get it the way I want it right from the start. While never “complete” (is that even possible for a M.A. member??) for now she will just be ridden until winter when the second round of mods comes along. I’m working on ideas already!!
I hope you guys enjoy it out as much as I do, and will consider it for a Bike Of The Month award! It would be a big honor for me. I know it won’t be everyone’s cup-o-tea, and I am sure it will receive some negative comments as well as the good ones. One thing for sure is it will definitely invoke a reaction, and that is what I was going for! I usually can’t get out of a parking lot or gas station without someone coming up to take a closer look at it!

I am submitting my bike for BOTM because, in my eyes, I feel it epitomizes what the ultimate 675 is. I have spent a tremendous amount of time and money on creating a Daytona that is truly special to me. I have to thank all the members on the board, site staff and ownership, and friends for helping me with this project.
I have submitted numerous pictures of the details that I incorporated into this bike. Some ideas were from board members and some were my own. The most important qualities of every modification have been function and subtlety. I wanted everything to look understated and tasteful. This bike started out as a simple track bike that I wasn’t going to modify, unless there was a shortcoming. It got a little out of hand!
If there is anything that someone is interested in, PM me and I’ll be glad to start a thread on that topic and post pictures, where possible.
Thanks again to everyone!

Reason for consideration:
We all personalize our bikes to our own taste - whether that be with bolt-on accessories or hand fabricated pieces. We can belong to a group, such as the 675 forum, but our bike is a reflection of who we are as an individual. I've always enjoyed wrenching on street bikes and race bikes, and being able to make various components by hand to produce a unique part and appearance. I hoped to accomplish this with my own 675.

--> Shane C. (ShaneXman) wins the April'07 Triumph675.Net Bike of The Month (BOTM) award.
From Shane:
Well, here goes nothing….
Since I don’t just expect to be handed a Bike of the Month (BOTM) title, I figured I would post up and give you justification for not only my decision, but ofcounsel’s as well for being awarded the BOTM title. As MANY of you know, I am the founder of our loyal, yet truthful group…Modders Anonymous. 
As you guessed, there is a reason why I decided to pursue the creation of such a wonderful organization, and the reason is because I am a chronic “Modder”. I knew that I couldn’t possibly be the only one with this addictive nature, and that if I found others to console with, I may be able to pull through and justify my problem. And so it began…
Many of you have known me from the beginning when I picked up my beloved 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 in Graphite, which has undergone a tremendous transformation, ranging from a plethora of modifications right down to its very color (Graphite to Scorched Yellow). Just to give you a quick overview, a few months back I had taken the liberty to create a beautiful marketing tool from my personal hobby. As many of you may or may not know, I work at Mothers Polish (www.mothers.com), which served as the catalyst for the “project” at hand. The bike at stake is my beloved 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 that you guys/gals know so well. Because I decided (with the motivation of ofcounsel) to jump into the sport with both feet, I decided to go all out and join pleasure with work. In my mind, there wasn’t a better bike out there than the one and only 2006 “International Bike of the Year” to show off a most magnificent paint job (bare with me…) & the phenomenal track capabilities of the Triumph Daytona 675.
My bike has been fitted with a growing list of modifications, SharkSkinz race bodywork, and a one-off paint job (sponsored by Mothers and Guinn Paint) to make it my own…not to mention, EXTREMELY unique. The paint we used consists of an extremely rare Pearl “Mothers” Red, Pearl White and Gloss Black, which rounded out our color scheme and tied everything together nicely. The bike is modeled after Mothers Polish’s newly painted Big Rig, which is outfitted with a custom Chip Foose Design paint job.
This project actually came about quite unexpected with the 675, and has since acquired quite a few supporters/sponsors due to it’s uniqueness and beauty. Some of those sponsors include Mothers, Foose, Pirelli, ColorRite, Guinn Paint, STOMP Design, TuneBoy, Yoyodyne, GPR Stabilizers, Amsoil and The Track Club...and I surely couldn't have done this without them. More specifically, I would like to give a special thanks to Mothers & Guinn Paint (Chris & Co.) for sponsorsing this phenominal paint job, and Drake Morton & Associates (Drake & Co.) for capturing it on film...YOU GUYS ROCK!!! 
This is turning out to be a great project that is sure to turn heads both on AND off the track. Because of my love for this bike, I have dedicated a lot of my time and energy to bettering and supporting this community (Triumph675.net), and ultimately have let this bike encompass a significant part of my life. I feel like I have gotten to know a lot of the members on here, and as Rocco Red has said, we are involved in each others lives at some weird kind of level whether we like it or not. Inevitably, I come home and end up on this forum to check out what is going on in everyone else’s lives. Strange… 
Up until this point, I had an extensive track day season scheduled (16 track days) with ofcounsel and a few other members of this board. Much to my dismay, I recently underwent a fairly serious knee surgery, with another one on the horizon for the second knee, which pulls me out of the sport for a while. I am bumming hard because I not only can’t ride, but I can’t even drive for the first 2 months either. The good news is that the damage is repairable, and I should be back in the saddle soon enough. 
Ok, enough about me….back to the bike! 
I almost forgot, her name is "Dorothy", dubbed by my girlfriend since the bike reminds her of Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. I approved. 
My modifications thus far include:
• SharkSkinz Race Bodywork (Painted with a Mothers custom paint scheme)

--> Albert G. (ofcounsel) wins the inaugural Triumph675.Net Bike of The Month (BOTM) award - our congratulations!
From Albert:
Below is a list of the enhancements/modifications I have made to my Daytona:
1. Ohlins Rear Suspension
2. GPR Stabilizer Steering Damper
3. Woodcraft Engine and Stator Covers
4. TayProTec Carbon Fiber Clutch Cover
5. Oberon Performance Front Suspension Pre-load Adjusters
6. Pazzo Racing Clutch and Brake Levers
7. Puig Double Bubble Windscreen
8. Two Brothers Racing Exaust w/Tail Tidy
9. Gilles Gold Anodized Rearsets
10. Triumph Seat Cowl
11. Carbon Fiber Front Mudguard 12. Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger

15. Carbon Fiber Tank Pad
16. SME Front Fork Sliders
17. SME Rear Swing Arm Sliders
18. GSG frame sliders
19. TOR Fuel Injection Mapping
20. Cyclecat Clip-On Bars
21. R&G Shark Fin Lower Chainguard
22. Skyking Rear Subframe Sliders
23. Stomp Grip Pads 24. Oberon Performance Brake Reservoir Cover
25. Gregg's Customs Front Turnsignals
In addtion, I have a set of Catalyst Racing Composites Bodywork that I swap out for Track Days. The bodywork was custom painted by myself, using a low-cost spray method that turned out great considering the low-cost invested. In fact, several members of the board have asked me for advice on achieving the same results. As an added bonus, the paint job will be inexpensive to repair/repaint in the unlikely event of a track day mishap.
Beyond the TOR mapping, the engine and drivetrain remain stock. I intend to keep the engine and drivetrain stock in order to maintain reliability and ease of maintenance. My front and rear suspension has been set up for my indiviual weight and riding style by Dave Moss of Catalyist Reaction Suspension Tuning.
I belive my 675 is a particuarly well qualified candidate for BOTM because of the extensive personalization I have undertaken to make it my own. At first glance, one begins to notice the subtle, but effective improvements made to my 675. While many other Daytona 675 owners have some of the components I have installed on my 675, I belive few have all the modifications listed above on their own motorcycle. In addtion, my 675 has been one of the pioneers (or guinea pigs) for many of the components currently installed motorcycle. As a result, I have been able to provide valuable feedback to other members of the Triumph675.net community. Further, most of the modifications I have made to my 675 are not simply focused on asthetics, but instead are focused on making real improvements to the comfort and performance of the 675 on the road and on the track. My Daytona 675 is as happy on the back roads of Southern California as it at California Speedway.
Attached you will find several photos of my 675.
If you have any questions regarding my 675, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Albert G.
