Triumph Bonneville description

After three years and countless dollars, this beautiful custom motorcycle came to fruition.  I purchased the parts and pieces years ago, and after a three year build, It's everything I could have hoped for and more.  The frame is a 1966 Norton Atlas slimline featherbed frame.  The engine is a 1979 Triumph Bonneville T140E 750cc unit motor that has been completely gone through top to bottom.  The front end, Tokico calipers, and wheels are early GSX-R, the first year of inverted forks.  The rear brake caliper and disc is R6 while the rear Brembo master cylinder is Ducati.  The petrol tank, oil tank, and seat pan are aluminum, hand made in England by Unity Equipe.  The front fender is also hand made, all aluminum by a local craftsman.  The rear swing arm is believed to be Dresda.  Most of the fabrication work was performed by Kosman Specialties in CA with no expense spared.  The carburetors and electrical system, including harness is all new.  There is way too much detail to list in this ad.  I have owned many British bikes in my life but this is the easiest to start and the clutch feels butter smooth.  This Triton won first place in the cafe racer class at the Clubman Show in San Jose.  While it was there, it was invited to the prestigious Quail Motorsports Gathering in Monterrey, CA.  If you are serious about purchasing this bike, feel free to ask questions, if not, save us both some time.  It holds a clean CA title and is registered as a 1966 Norton.  The engine number on the title and engine is T140EKA12607.  She starts first or second kick every time.  I am willing to assist in shipping this bike wherever needed.  I am also willing to deliver the bike to you but that will need to be discussed and a price will need to be agreed upon well beforehand.  It's located in San Francisco, CA.  This bike has sat in my living room when not being used and has been very well cared for.

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run.  Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake.  Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.

Riding in groups

Mon, 19 Apr 2010

Saturday morning was a stonker wasn’t it? A group of us ranging from neighbours, brothers, mates and girlfriends got up and headed down to the coast for a spot of bacon and eggs. We had a real diverse selection or bikes actually with a GSX1400, XJR1300, Triumph Speedmaster, MT01, A Yamaha R1 and my Triumph Speed Triple.
