One of the greatest names in motorcycle history takes his mother for a spin on a V twin built by his father: The same man, chatting to a customer riding one of his motorcycles shortly after an accident on his own bike - hence the walking sticks: The customer's bike transported to an inquiry into his death on it: Should be obvious who he is now, sitting on one of the first bikes he produced, and, given the bike, who the customer was too: Philip Vincent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kickstart Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 On 5/11/2021 at 9:13 PM, ballpoint said: Officially revealed recently, the Triumph Gold Line Street Twin, complete with gold retro logo. Only 1,000 to be made. I wonder what the chances are of getting one over here? Triumph have been they before ,the 1977 Triumph Queens Silver jubilee Bonneville, basically a T140 750 Bonnie . Triumph only built 1000,then they sold out ,so they built another 1000 for the USA market .............they sold out ,so they built another 400 for all markets . This one was destined for the USA market, I always did like that teardrop tank and raised bars . I wonder if this new modal will sell out ,and some more built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definitely an old flathead motor, but cant tell from this angle if its a wideline or a slimline frame, although it does look as though the top rails are kinked inwards slightly, which would make it a slimline. Either way, its a nice bike... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got him swayed to go with any model that was secondhand and cheap, being his first bike and all. Then surprised the <insert expletive of choice> out of him by asking him to get something in the garage where he stumbled upon his bike of choice and with the exact colour scheme he dreamed of -- cream / black.
