This is the first Triumph I ever built. It was a present to my brother Kevin.

Not too lucky. Unfortunately, he passed away 2 years ago. He was my identical twin. We built, showed, and rode custom bikes together. I have many incredible memories and some really cool iron.
Thanks,Paul

That's a great bike, is that yours hidden behind him?

That is one of many bikes I have built over the years. I will post pics of that, and others, soon. I am enjoying all of the positive feedback my builds are getting on this site. I typically build one bike a year in my spare time a a zen-like form of stress relief. I've done very well at local bike shows but it's so cool to hear koudos from all over the world. I hope other people will post some more of their pics.

Typically, I am not a big fan of choppers, but there is a certain class about this bike that makes it something special. Unlike so many of the custom bikes today, this one is not overdone
Great choice of wheels too.
