Last nights OCC epsisode of American Chopper had the Tuttles building a bike for Billy Joel. During the show they all visited Billys house and looked at his bike collection. In the corner of Billys garage were two Triumphs. A Yellow Thruxton and a New Green Bonnie. Coudn't tell what model the Bonnie was. Even put the TV on slow mo, but couldn't get a good enough view to see what it was.

Billys collection of Harleys and Indians was pretty impressive as well. He had a couple of stunning looking bikes. It turns out he has a company that takes new bikes and makes them look old.

Nice to see the man not only makes some great music but also has great taste in motorcycles.

He really tore up Rick's ideas of what a "hotrod" bike should look like. Kinda funny, he gave everyone an attitude. First thing i noticed was the 2 trumps. thought maybe there were 3 ?

If it was a (new) green Bonny, was it most likely a bog standard one in Goodwood Green?
