A "One-Of-A-Kind" Triumph at the European & British Bike Show last weekend in MD

This was one of the most unique motorcycles you'll see anywhere. Almost all of this Triumph was custom made. I love it! The key is positioned in the front part of the seat. Not sure, but it may have won the "Judges Choice" award.

 My image isn't very good , but it looks like a 500 pre unit Triton . Cool bike , one I would have lusted after in youth .

Don't worry, I've got Pony Express! It'll just take a few weeks.

I come up with the same Dusty. My images come up full size and clear.

I like most of what he's done. Styling on the Grimeca sets the tone for the rest of the custom touches, nice. As someone who's done several resto/cafe's, with one now in delayed status and another in planing I appreciate the hrs./$$$ in this project. Hope he's got more coming.

 I saw that bike at the Glenn Curtiss museum bike gathering last summer..... It's an interesting styling exercise.. The engine is an alternator case pre unit with a Unit 650 barrels and head...

I saw it there too (thanks for confirming my thought on that).    For that matter, Kev & I met you there too.

Man, lots going on there... While I am on the fence about the body work I will admit that there is a huge amount of work that went into it.

Love the Pre-Unit Triumphs,  Take a close look at the primary cover, seems to be a later model 500 cover, possibly stretched to match the inner primary length and check out the vents.. Wow. 
TLS brake up front, nice rig.

I saw that bike last year (or the year before?) at Watkins Glen during the US Vintage Grand Prix weekend.  It's not to my taste at all, but I can see and respect the work involved to create it.

      As a one time owner of a pre-unit magneto powered triumph, I salute the owner's ability to just keep the thing spotless too.

 I like the old triumphs but that give me a technicolor yawn.
