'52 Triumph 6T Period Custom

This one is cool.


Truckload of WLA's

From the link in Flathead Rob's Rudolph Bros. post. Apparently this was a 1944 haul of military surplus. I used only slightly more care loading Flathead Rob's Chief in my truck yesterday.

Chief Guest

I think this may be the first American bike in my shop. Not mine but it makes for a pretty cool first visitor. Want to see more?

Great Escape

Not everyone can pull off the Chino. For those, perhaps this is another option.

Parasite

The Parasite. Two T110 engines equals 220 MPH, right? Maybe not but the rumor was it was well capable of 150 MPH. Ridden by Tommy Grazias and built by John Melnizuk. The link above is worth checking out for the reunion story alone.





The reunion



This last photo is Jack Mercer, a well known field rep for Tri-Cor (Triumph's East Coast Distributor). Again, it seems some of those factory guys had a pretty good time.



Here's another nice post on John Melnizuk's shop. Some amazing stuff there. Looks like a great place to visit.
