Sharp toothed, sleek, apex predator. Yup! That’s Panthera tigris the striped whiskered large cat that everybody loves but wouldn’t like to meet in a dim jungle setting. 1972 650 TR6R Triumph Tiger.
Shere Khan!

The other Laurie [sic]
Hugh that is. Looking cool indeed on his Triumph Scrambler and sporting a McQueen tshirt.

Motor Cycle News has this image watermarked. It more than a game of football now; he’s sat upon what looks like the all new water cooled 1100cc Triumph Twin which is planned to be on the streets next year. Chunky tires, hefty forks, plump tank and forward stance… Been waiting for this one! Mines going to be in Mango Tango color.

Tora! Tora! Tora!
Keeping the cat theme going: this time tiger power for workshop duties.

AC/DC
We’re going to have something like this at some point in the near future. Battery powered Daytona: 0-60 in 2s, top speed of a ton and a half with run distance of 300 miles and a quick recharge of 15 mins. Soon enough…

Le Chiffre
The Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen is astoundingly sleekly creepy as the cannibal Dr Hannibal Lechter. However his Bond antagonist in the Daniel Craig 007 introductory movie Casino Royale was shiveringly chilly. He suits a Thruxton though; with a cool urban look.
He can keep a cat in check too…

Details, details…
There’s nothing beats looking at the unique details a motorcycle attains over its lifetime. From the original parts, decals and paint to an ownership or two of patina and mile worn age. This BSA Royal Star is still crowned after fifty years of distance run.
A Triumph front wheel with alloy rim and lightened disc brake. Just what I’m going to do on mine. So it’s good to see what it’ll look like: fantastic.
RAF roundel on a Street Triple. Yellow outer ring denotes a type C1 used from ’42 – ’47 . The lighter yellow giving it better visibility on upper dark camouflage surfaces. Not the Mod icon but the Spitfires and Hurricanes of WW2.
Hmmm…

Sixties Fab Fun: The Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby Trike. Rebellious model kit for aspiring custom bike builders. An honorable mention to author Tom Wolfe and his new journalism writing style which evoked a vivid reality in a world of hallucinations.

More Speed Vicar?
This Rickman framed Triumph stood out in proud orange at Ed’s shop. Next to it an immaculate pre-unit Bonneville. Both truly desirable bikes. But that repli-racer: it’s a stunner!
Ground-up concours restoration of an amaranth red Speed Twin. Sublime and worth gazing at for hours. Put it on a plinth and enjoy the artistry that was Meriden engineering at its best.
A hourglass figure as prepared on an X75 Hurricane. Craig Vetter inspired lines and color maje this much sought after machine a beauty to behold!
A Big Zed! Power in a Can… Just love this, one of the first giant slayer muscle bikes to come from the Far East. I’m going to have to build a bigger garage!

¡Red Alert!
Triumph speed blooded Thruxton is crying out for a full fairing. But it has to be done very carefully unless it will look like a hashed bin bolted on. This example is var nigh perfect. For sale locally for $11,000 at Motoworks…

wheel aloft
Mai Lin pulls a mean wheelie on a Triumph Speed Triple. White leathers and white high heels. Hair flying and one wheel spinning. The red bike closes the deal!

Jack of All Trades
Triumph do patriotic colors pretty well: red, white & blue of the Union Flag. Saints Georgae, Andrew and Patrick’s pennants. Be it their Street Triple, Daytona, or the bigger Sprints. They ALL look the business and grin inducing.
