I see no real custom anything other than the kicker, shifter and airbox. Stock tank, fenders, frame, right side cover and all the stuff like the gaiters, eyebrow and the tool box are all mail-order. Looks like the standard cheapo horn/ign button on there and some skinny Amal grip (copies?) Neat story on the paint, cool it’s kickstart…not worth anywhere NEAR $24k.

To start this is not my bike! Os you don’t get confused. In most case you guys don’t know what the hell your talking about. Lots of people hated riding Harley’s back then. Which is probably what you guys are riding now. People are always putting older tank badges on their Harley’s and doing stuff to make them look older. Not that this bike is an old one, it’s a new one. But has been a design that triumph has used for a long time. They just keep reinventing it. The new one’s are modeled after the 68. They didn’t even but fuel injection on this bike till 2009. And with a lot of people they really like the look and old style of the bikes. Just like all the Harley riders and there big bad biker look (but I don’t get the fake due rag with the hair, gay!) but there’s no other models with the classic look that have the ((reliability)) that the new triumph has and there’s no looking for that old bike or old part to replace all the time these you can ride not rub with a dipper. Not to mention that all the grates road triumphs like Steve Mc Queen, that helped start the Elsonnor 500 and the bike that he road in the move the grate escape which was a triumph and was his bike that they fixed up just like this one. Just for the move so he could do the stunts (it was not a German bike!). Marlin Brando road a 59 in the move The Wild One. Arthur Fonzarelli in happy days, Clint Eastwood, and Elvis. The list go’s on. These bike were just as popular if not more, in the 50′s, 60′s as the American bikes. Not to mention at this was the don of racing. Triumph broke the land speed record 214 MPH in Bonneville Salt Flats in and for a time was #1 in flat track. IF any thing this bike is a choice on look and he did a dam good job. The kicker they don’t make one for the new bikes for you to buy, but it has been made. They’re not available. Painting the headlight read some history. Good job Garrick. It was for Low light. look it up guys. Nice bike Drags and racing.

I rode my Scrambler to the post office and was approached by an old timer who said,”We rode Triumphs in the military. I didn’t know they still made them. We had Harleys too but no one wanted to ride them. They were just too heavy and we spent most of our time pushing them through the mud”.
This bike is nice “tip of the hat” to the guys who did their part for our freedom. Good job.

You can like it or not, but… the kickstart works! I saw the bike in Verona, last january, and Dino explained me how it works. Now is under registration, so I can’t tell you the secret, but believe me: works.
greetings from Italy!

I would have one in a flash, if it were a bit cheaper, and without the suicide shifter. It is great art in the purest form. Remember, the McQueen bike was also a fake. No German bike of the period was that cool.
