It is absolutely gorgeous!!!

The guy who owned it disturbed me with this:

I acquired this unique piece of rolling sculpture through an art trade and I am in love with it...but because it is what it is, it really shouldn't be ridden...in fact it would be a certain kind of sin to ride it (yet a certain kind of wonderfulness, of course) because then it would instantly become just another "mint" Bonnie--one hell of an
example, to be sure--but it would no longer be unique

(my emphasis above)
I guess I could never own a bike like this. To me, it's not art. It's a friggin motorcycle and meant to be ridden for cripes sake! I can just imagine all the purists (anal) going "Oh no! He's going to RIDE IT!!!"

Hell yeah I would!!!



It sure is a beauty! But...

I'd have to agree with the owner on this one...There are plenty of other bikes to have and ride, but this one is unique among all other triumphs. Kind of like having a mint condition baseball card of the Babe, and then running it in the spokes of your bike...now it's just another card.

But, what do I know?
