Yeah, that's the great thing about these bikes, even if they're stock they still look killer. Nice bike!

That cause you are trying to post off your hard drive. You have to find a host on the net like photo bucket.

Well ok it's a Honda engine but I thought my friends hand built chopper with the plastic coke bottle for a temporary petrol tank would perhaps at least draw a comment.

Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't see it. I didn't know Coke bottles were certified as fuel carrying devices in the Land Down Under. Man you guys have to get with the times  . Actually doesn't look too bad.

Haha. No Greg, that was in Thailand .A Thai "mechanic" I knew
built this bike. Made the frame and used a 400cc honda engine.
He was late getting it together for a bike run and improvised with a [temporary] plastic coke bottle fuel tank so he could make it.
Ingenious. In Australia The Po-Lice would have you hung eight ways from Sunday for a "home made" bike with a coke bottle tank like that..

 A few[too many] years ago. Unfortunately all the old photos of the other Triumphs I've had, My Tiger110,1971 Tiger,and 1976 Bonneville and the 1974 XLH Sportster were taken before the digital age.They're photo prints in an album.

Thanks Lance.It's a 600 Honda I had in between Triumphs.I also had a 1973 TX650 Yamaha at one time.Both reliable, if bland, bikes.
