Reep, the bike was built from a basket case 1966 Triumph Tiger. The neck was saved from the original frame and a custom frame built around it (The Factory Metal Works). Engine/trans rebuilt by Union motorcycle Classics (Idaho). The bike was built by Todd Asin (Small City Cycles) in Boise Idaho. Todd built the exhaust, fender stays and modified many components such as tank, oil tank, etc. An interesting touch is instead of a blowby line attached to a KN filter Todd used the frame seat post as a catch can. I had it shipped to Orlando and it arrived this morning.

Nicely done. It is REALLY hard to make a bike look that minimal.
(DAMHIK... I'm trying and failing so far...) |

Can't wait to see it Frank! Had to lay mine down on I4 yesterday (damned rain), but in true dirt bike fashion, I was able to pick it up and kept on riding. She made out much better than my left knee. Weather permitting, I'll be there Monday for the Trumpet debut for sure. Rich, can I borrow a folding cane? |
