Nick Serrano’s 2004 America

Posted on March 2, 2011 by FriarJohn

[We found the video (below) on YouTube and contacted Nick through that site to do a feature. He joined BonnevilleAmerica.com and will participate as time allows. We hope you like his bike as much as we do. It’s not the first America we’ve seen with a Standard Bonneville tank, but it’s super clean. And it doesn’t hurt that he has professional photography to share from a feature on Chopcult.com]

The Brown Eyed Cyclops

Posted on February 28, 2011 by FriarJohn

Street Chopper Magazine is featuring a very cool custom Hinckley hard tail on their web site (and possibly in print). It was brought to our attention by BonnevilleAmerica.com member Chad Turner (locopony). From the article on Streetchopperweb.com…

A guy named Josh from California looked us up and said he had a 2004 Bonneville that he wanted to do something with. Now Josh is a helicopter machine gunner, and he was about to head back to the desert for another tour. We knew he had the sack to undertake this project and see it all the way through with us.

We came up with a design for this modern Triumph that retained a healthy respect for the old ways. Then we went to see our friend Josh at Killer Chopper to work it out for production. A little while later, our first prototype frame was back and ready to rock.

There are over a dozen additional photos available at Streetchopperweb.com along with a long tale of how this bike came to be.

Triumph Motorcycles have a 16% market share according to the Motor Cycle Industry Association, which is pretty darn impressive considering how many other manufacturers exist.
