see my 59
Hi, after hanging out here for a fewyears(Red59) i FINALLY GOT MY BIKE on the net. It is in youtube.com under 1959 triumph motorcycle. It's the one that takes the viewer through my messy garage. When I figure this site out, I'll post it on here. Just keep in mind it was a screwed up chopper when I got it. Everything was broke or about to break. It even had a rock in the gas tank. Go figure! Since I purchased it in 99 a few bummers came my way and slowed the rebuild process. 1 a semi rear ended me on my Road King and I was out with a broken back for about 6 months before I coiuld work on it. 2 I moved and lost my "Bike Garage" and "Bike Basement" So I could only work on it in the tiny space you see on the video durring the Spring and Fall. Bummer 3, I got stuck on third shift and turned into a zombie for three years. Bummer 4: My job transferred me to a place where there was no longer access to a paint booth. I painted it with RattleCan in the great outdoors. I figured I'd never live long enough to restore it myself, so I built it as the bike you see. It's been running sice 2004.I belive it qualifies for "Period Modified" in the Antique MC Club.. If someone knows how to put the 'instant web link on here I'd appreciate it. Thanks to GP , Mechanica and everyone that clued me in on it's idiosyncracies.
