2010 Triumph Thunderbird | 'Real-Time' Road Test
Triumph Thunderbird
The British are coming! The British are coming! It's British Invasion week on the Motorcycle Radio Network, and we are celebrating with a test of the awesome 2010 Triumph Thunderbird.
The (second) British Invasion was a time when the music and fashion worlds here in the United States seemed to revolve around London. The Beatles held all 5 of the top songs on the Billboard chart at one time, and there were only a few things cooler to American kids than a British accent. At the very top of that ultra-cool list were Austin Healey roadsters and Triumph motorcycles.
Cruisin’ down the motorway…..
…..Got my girl by my side. Even though 38 Special didn’t have bicycling in mind when singing these lyrics, I don’t mind using them while out on a ride with my wife. In seasons past, bicycling around my house was more like uni-cycling; me, by myself, going out for training rides or meeting the group at the trail head. This most recent summer has sure changed that and I’m sure glad I don’t have to pay royalties for each time I’ve sung 38 Special’s melody. It started off innocently enough – a cruise out to the end of the Poudre Trail, a ride out around the Budweiser Event Center… then “Hey! how about we do the Elephant Rock Centuries?” “Sure, that would be a great goal for the summer”, I said. Goal? Heck! Since that weekend, I had better set aside 4-5 hours for a “little” ride on the weekend with the girl by my side or I’m in trouble!
What do I need to change a single speed cruiser bike to a 3 speed cruiser?
What are the elements I need?

It would be cheaper to buy a new bike. When you buy a new wheel, add a shifter, brakes, and work, you have almost the price of a new bike.

Is it possible to convert a single speed town cruiser bike into a 3-speed cruiser?
I love my bike, but I just moved to a city that is not so flat. I do not really want to have a new bike, but I would not mind the new gear. Tips?

Yes, it can be done.
You will need a rear wheel hub that has adequate internal and a coaster brake.

I think that your bike came with a single speed hub in the rear. If you want to add teeth to the rear, you need a new platform for more joysticks, cables, housing.
