Last friday i went to 'Nightfall' in Chattanooga. A weekly get together of bikers. Two blocks are blocked off every friday night in the downtown area so the bikes can all park up on the street. Theres always a band or two playing, and food and drink along the road side. Anyway, while walking along checking out all of the bikes, probably 50% Harleys, 35%c HondaWackiYama Davidsons, and the rest were everyone else. Theres were a few Triumphs, but not many. But i did find this,   Nice looking bike. Im guessing by the license tag that it is a '73 Bonnie, I hung around for a while hoping to meet the owner, but no luck.

Pretty darn cool there, Mark!
(this probably now makes a grand total of three Triumph Choppers I've seen over the years that I like...and probably because the guy bolted that gastank right above the engine and not too high up...interesting choice of taillight there, isn't it?!)
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)

Looks like a modified 79ish cutlass tail light to me.

One thing's for sure, everyone can see that brake light. I gotta make it up there before Labor Day, it's too close not to go at least once this summer.

A chopper...because the neck has been chopped and re-welded to make the rake steeper. (wait a minute...I just noticed your spelling there, Rev....Good one!!!)

Very nice, taillight is interesting. My '66 will have similar if less polished appearance (stock tank, forks).
Hopefully be riding it any day now, will post some pix.
