A bike that’s not quite sure what it is… Norton emblazoned on the tank in golf lettering over a cherry pie red. However a closer spy reveals the Triumph engine… A Triton this is not! Hard tail chopper frame with sweeping seat perches and aped bars atop a lonnng fork.
The Easy Rider Captain America helmet says she’s ready for a cross country trip with a sidekick named Billy, and a soundtrack from the late 60’s.
Perhaps an English remake? Taking a ride from Brighton up to Newcastle… “Whew. Man, look, I gotta get out of here, man. Now we – we got things we want to do, man, like – I just – uh – I gotta get out of here, man.”

How low can you go! Stretched, long-legged, chopper with a Brit-twin engine. Looks “good” in profile but bet it steers like a bus. Straight desert roads heading off into the horizon.
The pipes look like they came straight from a church organ; and the seat a prayer stool. More tea vicar? Well, at least have some with scones lashed with cream!

They thought it was a good idea at the time… Added a foot to the fork tubes, thinned the seat, de-muffled the pipes. Shout-out to the world “I got me a Choppa Tri-oomph!” Fridays are for zany ideas; but this rebuild looks like it could saved from a fate worse than… Doesn’t look like the headstock has been fettled with, may just need a new pair of tubes and springs, seat, decent bars and this Bonnie would live to ride another day…
Peter who?

a.k.a. Chopper, Twenty Second Century, graffiti scrawlin’ sky sufin’ dude from Mega City One. Or as we know this these days and splay framed, long forked, do-dad added, straight line only, peanut-tank’d moto from the hazy days of the sixties.
