Did Street Chopper Magazine ever finish their Triumph BA project? I see by their website that they are down to two issues a year. Kind of a bummer since they weren't just an HD only mag and they paid alot of homage to the late 60's and 70's issues (I have many of those thanks to my uncle).

I did see the finished product somewhere. It was cool, but no nicer then some of the stuff here. I'll try to find it.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The bike itself is fine, but I agree 100% on the position of the tank. Icky. And lazy, if you ask me...

I absolutely remember an answer in Street Chopper magazine to the question, "why don't you feature other bikes like Triumphs in your mag...?' The answer in the mail column was that Harleys are what sells and until that changes we'll feature Harleys.. (I'm paraphrasing) Maybe the fact that they only produce a few issues analy (oops),is a telling one. I'm a Horse guy. Although they have had a lot of swastikas. I'm just waitin' for some redneck in a KKK robe next to his southern pride themed Harley. Oh well, as my twin brother used to say at least you know what you're dealing with.
