I can't stop looking at the vintage triumphs. I just love 'em. This one is 1974 T140 cafe racer. VERY sweet.
post your favorites so I don't have to spend all day at work searching on google. LOL

http://www.khulsey.com/motorcycles/triumph_t140_cafe-racer.jpeg Looks like a link is as good as it gets. I'm guessing the UBB code doesn't recognize the "dot" jpeg suffix and wants to see "dot" jpg to function properly. Nice scoot although the bars are pretty high for a cafe.

I think that my all time favorite Triumph is the 1940 tiger T100. Don't have any links but have my Triumph Motorcycles a Century of Passion and Power and they got a few Tiger T80's and T100's in that book. Oh I do have this pic of my great grand father's brother.  It's a Norton I think but I'm not certain but it was taken in the early thirties.

I'd really love to see someone make a modern day recreation of that bike with the new powerplant, right down to the rigid rear frame. Just about every single bit of it has been done on different bikes, the girder front end, sprung seat, front fender number plate, chrome tank, etc.

37 Speedtwin is my dream bike. I would like to see one made like it but with modern engineering while keeping it a pre-unit.

I would love to be able to have a late 30's Speed Twin. Also on my list is an early 50's T-Bird.  Soren

Thank you. Nice little bike but it never was 10% as usable as my TBA. I think I had one really good ride on it in the 7 yrs I owned it. My TBA has more carefree and FUN miles on it than every other bike I ever owned put together.
