In today's chopper world, it's all about having 100 hp plus even though the bikes seldom get ridden out of town. If you want to look into the world of old school, where it doesn't matter if it's a an inline 4, vertical twin, or a knucklehead, check out Back Talk.

They're real open-minded and pics of of all the above plus cafe bikes get posted nearly every day. I've only been visiting Back Talk for a month or so, but already I've collected quite a few pics and put them in this album.

For the new Triumphs like ours, I think there hasn't been many builds because of the cost. Most of the guys who do this kind of work are looking for cheap engines and rolling chassis to work with. Some of them horde the old Hinckley stuff and use that to chop and bob. It's cheaper than the new Triumphs, even a wrecked BA or Speedmaster.
