Triumph Thunderbird description

 Beautiful 1953 Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle.  Complete engine restoration along with professional paint and correct cad plating of all parts that are supposed to be plated.  New tires, modern electronic regulator hidden in the original housing. New tires and tubes, restored speedo that works great. Some new fasteners along with many original fasteners that were re-plated. Minor ding in the paint on the tank as pictured from transporting it to a show but comes with extra paint for any desired touch-ups. Former owner/ Triumph expert produced water slide decals for vintage Triumph's and was the guy who found and restored James Dean's original Triumph which was auctioned for a small fortune some years back. This was his personal pet project which I acquired shortly before he passed several years ago. It was mostly complete when I got it and I had help from P. T. Customs (noted British bike specialist of west Michigan) and consult from Bill Horde, another area expert to complete the restoration.  It's been judged twice at national AMCA meets and has acquired a junior and senior first place marks with 96 out of 100 points for a correct restoration. Aside from being absolutely beautiful and nearly perfect it is a joy to ride as well. Starts on the first kick, nimble and quick off the line. Thrilling and easy to ride vintage machine. Comes with several extra rubbers, parts manual and riders manual from another triumph bike but much of the info carry's over and AMCA plaque badges, and judging sheet. Many receipts are included as well. Opening bid is less than what I have into this one. Offered locally as well, any questions feel free to call (616) 874-7130.  Buyer responsible for pick-up but I'm happy to assist you or movers in loading. Located in Grand Rapids area.

Not a fake police biker

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

So yesterday I was threading my way through London on Triumph's Tiger Explorer 1200 with panniers. Quite a wide load. Up ahead, I see a police biker and reckon on him being able to part the traffic enough for me to have an easier run down by the river.

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

This past weekend at the Barber Vintage Festival, Triumph took the wraps off a special edition Thruxton that was created with the famed Ace Café London. Harkening back to one of the lynchpins of the British café racer movement of the 1960s, the Thruxton Ace Café Special Edition molds the profile of the classic Triumph racer of the era to the thoroughly modern Thruxton.

Speed Triple exhausts

Mon, 19 Apr 2010

The Speed Triple sounds quite throaty with the standard pipes, on the overrun it pops and farts to its heart content but it could be louder. Also standard pipes are usually quite heavy, on the Triple they weigh 9.3kg!!! Triumphs preferred exhaust manufacture is Arrow and they offer side and under seat options as official Triumph accessories.
