Triumphs: Good and Evil

    Light, bright, clean and in good nick, a stock 1966 Triumph T120 Bonneville is a visual treat. 
    Was there a prettier British machine made in the mid -1960's?


    No signs of oil leaks, burned chrome or misuse. This restored Triumph was done right, giving it's owner a machine he can proudly ride without fear of breakdowns. All the nostaglia without the drama.


    And now for something completely different, a Triumph with a vibe that's as moody as it's exhaust note. 

    Dark, dangerous, rowdy and rude, this Bob Sholly-modified Triumph is pure evil in it's attitude.
    It's an unapologetic "Speed Machine".  

    That seat is a Sholly Triumph special, used at Daytona roadraces on a number of machines in the early 1960's. Sholly Triumph was a mid-Atlantic dealership that was a hub of racing activity in the glory years of Triumph and AMA Flat Track racing in the USA. 

    With performance to match it's looks, this Bonnie rocks!

    Those wide handlebars provide excellent leverage to push the machine
    with authority through the twisty sections.

    The fuel tank is a modified Yamaha unit.

    Below, a great image of The Man himself, Bob Sholly riding the
    wheels off his Triumph when he was
    bangin' bars with guys Gary Nixon, Bart Markel and Dick Mann.

AMA Announces Motorcyclists of the Year - Kids

    The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced the 2009 Motorcyclist of the Year award. Here's an excerpt from their press release of yesterday:

      "The AMA today announced the 2009 AMA Motorcyclist of the Year with a departure: This year's recipients are a group, rather than an individual. The winners? Kids who ride motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). America's youngest riders were at the center of the biggest story of the year in 2009, as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) enforced a ban on selling youth-model off-highway vehicles (OHVs)."
