Royal Triumph

After watching the news tonight I asked my wife if she gave a crap about watching the Royal Wedding. She doesn't (sorry Stephen). It got me thinking about the T140D Royal Wedding Edition Triumph released in 1981.



They were pretty gaudy.



Out of jest I asked my wife if she thought they'd be doing one for Will & Kate's shindig. Without a moments hesitation she responded "I'm sure they are." She was right. She also said I couldn't buy one. I thought for sure I had a killer "investment" reason to buy a 675. Not too sure I'd want to be seen ridding that one anyway. Still pretty gaudy...

GS Update

Thanks to Brother Justin & Sixx my battery/electronics plate is permanently attached. Justin is gonna start ducking my calls one of these days.

I painted the mounting plate etc., reassembled everything and finished the wiring. I don't think I ever posted any photos since I installed the taillight. I'm gonna run out of ways to avoid doing the paint pretty soon.

Pre-Unit vs Hot Rod

Boom

Yet again Officer Squirrelly takes someone out. Why do I find myself wanting to see him win every week? Great rider but the guy is dangerous.

1951 Triumph Tiger

I dropped by the swap meet at PJ's Triumph today and found my next motorcycle for sale, reasonable price. Pretty cool year. First year of the all aluminum engine, close pitch fin head, rigid, sprung hub, nice tank and badging. Loose the nacelle headlight for a Bates and it's done. Just need to organize a fund-raising car wash or something.

Knob

Flathead Rob mentioned how much he liked these Handshifters pins. How cool is this shift knob?
