"Barn Find"

1956 Triumph 5T Speed Twin. Why can't I feel compelled to collect stamps or something rather that "rescue" old motorcycles? Same owner since '69. Awesome. Speedbird.

WHY ISN'T IT IN YOUR GARAGE YET? Seriously, what is with the tank? Almost looks like air scoops...

Cool bike.

Holy Sh*t! It does have scoops. I never noticed that before. The pockets for the knee pads on those early tanks are like 2.5" deep. I'm betting it's the Gene Winfield wannabe way of filling/covering them.

I ran into English Stephen in Nob Hill tonight. I cornered him in Starbucks and poured on the same subconscious brainwashing routine I used on you with the Indian. It should be in the back of the Tacoma in short order.

Tell Stephen it's just something to ride to pick up the Vincent parts...
