Consider it shook virtually. There is an entire tour schedule actually but we have got some things to work out before committing obviously. I'll check the schedule...I know Charleston SC was a problem but Myrtle Beach may be a possiblity. Thanks for the flowers, DarHeel

DANG!  I can't roll outta Merrit Island till 9 or 10 am Thursday. I'll see if I can do a quick stop in Lexington but I really wanted a peek at Your Bootleg!  I saw what ya got posted on your site but up close is SO much better!   If I can't catch you in Lexington, I'll manage to pop in some other time.  I'm on the road ALOT!  Just never to sure where I'll be next!

that bike is uglier than home made sin... some people shouldnt even be allowed to make bikes, in this case... the dude that produced that red piece of junk should be slapped in the face.

Moonshine, not that you haven't heard this before but you did an "excellent" job. I have also enjoyed reading your posts and background about the bike build. Keep with it!!!

Agreed!! Good job. AND he said he knows it is not everyone's cup of tea, so the type of remarks above are uncalled for.

Horses for courses. You either love or hate that style of bike ... I love it.
You've gotta take your hat off to the engineering gone into producing a machine like that.

Nice Speedy! Should her and I every jive, we would most assuredly be taking a roll on the wild side ! One beaut of a motosickle. The motor looks like a micro inertia drive dude, back to back with the massive vtwins. Not my cup of tea, but with you enrapturing that english heart in all her majesty’s finery, I say right now that I would have one of those masterpieces in my garage,  Excuse me, I have to go play some numbers...And apologize to Dame Vera Lynn.

Carl as has been said before, it's not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the amount of work something like that takes. Good job and I'd love to see it in person some day.

Melvin,
Back in the day, I was always a bit preoccupied with Miss Henderson's(my high school English Class teacher)LEGS, so unfortunately I didn't listen much when she touched upon the subject of poetry.
So I have to ask: Was that iambic pentameter or free verse, there buddy??? AND...what exactly are you tryin' to say here???
Cheers,
Dwight
(hey...maybe I should ask TriumphGoddess this question, huh?!)

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)

Okay then, Melvin. I think I got it now.(sorry dude...I can be a little slow now and then...the shouting helped quite a bit)
And I agree. It IS nice to see a Triumph custom instead of the usual V-Twin variety.
Cheers, Dwight

Punctuation would have helped! But I do agree with the gist of it...

SORRY my pc was on caps lock did not mean to shout anyone who has read my posts know i don't do punctuations as it takes to long still think that this bike and the blue bobber with the long velocity stacks are nice though moonshines bike is more radical and capable of winning a biker build off i bet it took longer than ten days to build

It is a rolling piece of art built around the best motor on the planet. Being a work of art is what I belive the whole point of these "build offs". This bike is one of the best. The lines, the colors, and (more importantly to me) the usage of space around the motor (something that is a little difficult to do with our motors on a chopper).

This bike is Bad Azz Sick! Carl, premo! If this would have been in the build off Rick Fairless went up, you would have taken the day. Heck, I think it would take most any that I have seen. Love what you did, start to finnish everything between the wheels is SICK! (Mega cool if translation is needed) Not just because it's a Triumph but because it IS top shelf, the Triumph just makes it all the more sweet. I echo every sentiment here (except one) Well done Carl.
