That's a nice piece of work.

BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL!!!! Absolutely friggin' beautiful!!!!

But shouldn't the guy sellin' it on eBay get his terminology correct? That's a BOBBER, not a "chopper", dude!!!

(thank gawd...I LOVE Triumph bobbers....not so big on Triumph choppers)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Like it but those seats will make you sterile. The single carb engines run so smooth and even. (not talking vibration)

I'm pretty sure that's a Bonneville with a tank pad and a cafe seat.

Yup it's a Triumph in the garage - you can make out the T and the swoosh.
They're both gorgeous bikes.
