Workbench Worship

A Bonneville 'Gin sitting patiently to be cradled once more into a roadworthy frame kicked into consciousness to 'go down the road' once more. The pumping sound of the twin hailing "Triumph!"

Slippery Sam

Here's a Triumph from the history books: called Slippery Sam after the 1970 Bol d’Or endurance race when the broken oil pump covered the bike and riders with oil.  It is the only machine to win five TT races in consecutive years (Ray Pickerell in 1971 and 1972, Tony Jefferies in 1973, Mick Grant in 1974 and Dave Croxford/Alex George in 1975). This triple can MOVE! A production Trident 750cc prepared by Les Williams,

1971, Ray Pickerell - 1st, 100.07mph

1972, Ray Pickerell - 1st, 100.00mph

1973, Tony Jeffries - 1st, 95.62mph

1974, Mick Grant - 1st, 99.72mph

1975, Dave Croxford/Alex George - 1st, 99.60mph

The fastest lap was Alex George in 1975 at 102.82mph

Here's Mick Grant piloting this bike. A machne of definite charisma. 

Flat Tracker with futuristic fiberglass bodywork

A racing special raced by Don Castro in '72, then immediately banned due to streamlining rules. A wrapparound tank and seat with 70's pinstriping extraordinaire. Go fast, turn left, repeat. The extended seat is interesting but there's a neat custom in there somewhere...

If you want to stretch the legs of your Bonnie where better than the Salt. Here's a couple of shots showing ardent triumph owners taking their rides along for a spin. I'm sure it's pretty adrenaline pumping haring along the rutted white grit of the course ticking over the ton with a seven mile or so run out. Sneck through the gears and open the throttle and pin it.

A great shot of a guy and his ride.

All weather Triumph

Necessity, as they say, in the mother of invention! Need to cruise around Minnesota in the snow? No problem; pop off the back wheel, bolt on the tracks, ski assembly strapped onto the front wheel and Peary look out!

Gulf color on a Honda 550 cafe "Le Mans Special"

Here's a beautifully detailed cafe racer prepared in glorious blue and orange. Thiunassuming rebuilt 1975 model has been methodically reconstructed with special care to details such as the sumptuous tank, tail section and he controls.

The orange painted frame is a great detail (ooh if I'd only had that thought with mine!)

A super little feller, probably fun to ride too.Build by Chris Trotter from Bozeman, Montana.
