I`m looking for info about the origins of this SICK `68 #s matching Bonnie trike ! . --- story goes that it was built for the 60s Batman tv series and was seen touring the custom shows with the batmobile in the early 70s but I cant verify this . as you can see it was pretty rough after sitting in a barn for 30 years but is now a complete titled runner and I`m ready to tear it ALL the way down for the body and paint work but I dont want to restore it as orig.built & painted unless I can verify its past ( I`d like to rake it about 6 degrees ,lose the peanut tank and the garden tractor rear seat and that ``I ate acid for a week straight``paint work.) I`m thinking that SOMEONE has GOT to know where this thing came from so if you are THAT SOMEONE , PLEASE let me know `cause winter is here and it`s time to get in the shop and get BUILDIN ! Thanks , Psychosteve . --PS. do I hear any votes for TRIUMPH RAT of month ?

Man, I would restore back to the the way it was built,just in case. It is too sweet of a period piece. Great find!(lucky dog)

It would be worth more and more desireable restored back to origonal. That is what I would do. Great find, wish I could find one to resore and own.

Crazy wheels, man.

Swap out the motor w/ a HD.........sell it......then use the money to restore the Triumph back to origonal. What a waste of a perfectly great engine to stick it in that contraption.

Here`s a an ORIGINAL (#S matching) Triumph custom trike chassis that is OBVIOUSLY built when this doing this **** was UGHHHHHH , RARE ? ( to say the least. ) so why would I WASTE my time puttin`some F`n H.D. motor in it ?????? sorry ya wasted your time , PsychoSteve.---eek: --- also , YA DUMDASS , if U R Lookin`for T120 engines , I have several. E-mail me if you are seeking a builder---and MOST harleys are WAY overrated in my book -- I`ve been a very dedicated LIMEY RIDIN`biker for OVER 20 yrs. and I havent found a street ridden and LEGAL H.D. yet could beat my sick T140V nitrous burning chop and , besides , STOCK LIMEYS ARE F`N UGLY !!! later NAIVE. PsychoSteve. !------ P.S . if U.R. such a F`n purist about such things , why didnt ya ask about the 38`or 39` ONLY speedtwin girder thats was on the front ????? ( NO it`s NOT for sale !!!!)
