Stu's Triumphant Trump Returns. [Archive] - ForumsHQ

[exmonkeypunk]

Okay, This is the story about this Bike.

Many years ago, This bike was bought for a complete restoration. The bike is a 1961 Triumph Bonneville 650 twin. Another '61 Bonne was bought for a parts bike. Over 7 years later, Many Harley parts, British Speed parts and a bore of .060 over we have the angry semi-completed badass pre-unit Trumpster.



Tragedy occurs and the bike goes out of state to the brother where custom parts for the pegs, clutch and gearing are done. The motor was re sealed and timed while there.

A few More years later. The bike is suddenly and unexpectedly "up for sale".

Obviously, the bike was bought back by the family and brought back home for safe keepings and reassurance that it will stay in the family.

This bike literally has an ora about it. Every single person that comes in the same room as this bike agrees that this bike has a vibe comes off it.

It's almost like the vibe that humans give off. The bike reacts at idle when I sit on it and try to get off.

This bike is so awesome, the pictures do no justice.

I see spiderwebs from the tires to the asphalt.. Are you abusing this poor Triumph by not taking it for daily rides?!?

Looks like a very short bike (front tire to back) or is it just the pictures?

This bike is currently "unsafe at any speed". You must've busted out your third eye on your chest to see the webs.......or i just have no attention for detail...i cant see any webs.....Bike needs new tires, speedo, tach, primary cover gasket has to be made cuz they don't sell them. Fuel needs to be leaned on the carbs, Need a new throttle cable. Sounds like a raped ape but cannot move the bike cuz there's no mono-grade 50 weight oil in the gear-box.

oh yeah, the bike is 84 inches long. I don't want to do the math.

there are spider webs between the back wheel and the ground, and no one needs to open his third eye...:-) unless offcourse it's build in there..heh

84 inches = 7 feet. I guess the pictures just make it look squashed. Kind of like the look, personally.

Always amazes me how much more room there is on an older bike, even though they've lengthened the frame on many of the newer models which provides more space. I'm talking about all the space between the engine components.

Sort of like a 1985 Buick LeSabre, which has an engine compartment large enough to crawl into while you work on it - versus a 1991 Saturn, where you can't even fit your fingers between some of the parts, let alone crawl in to work on things.

In any case, very sexy bike.

EDIT: Sepia tone to the pictures adds to the antique feel.

Sephia pictures of old things is my favorite pics to take.

Hobo Bill needs to use his third eye because his other 2 are usually too blurred to make sense of things...

Wow, you know my ip and what computer i'm on. Not impressed. My firewall obviously sucks, i don't care about it. It's not my computer and it's a freakin Mac.

[Hobo_Bill]

My third eye is usually wrapped up in my boxer shorts.

[exmonkeypunk]
