Yeah I saw the yellow Thrux, just like mine. I think next to it was a Bonnie.
Billy Joel just reinforced our good taste for Triumphs. Other people buy v-twins so they don't get the feeling of being left out and become part of the flock. It's their ticket to get accepted.
I like Billy's taste, and the Billy Bob. He sure gave those Teutels a run for their money! Nice to see Sr. sweat.
They built him a cool bike, but as usual OCC sucks. I love the show but man they do so little with so much. Some of Sr's bikes are cool but it seems like (and they do) just throw money at everything instead of the good ol' biker way of just making sh!t work.
That said, I do watch the show and DVR it...

Yes I saw the yellow thrux. :-D I'm glad Billy has taste in bikes. I like his idea of things that look old but have modern inter workings for reliability. Is that concept what the new Bonni and Thrux are? The red Indian Bobber was well done. I looked just like an Indian. :-D Steve.

Actually Billy bought that Thrux from Ramp Motorcycles in St James, NY (they advertise on this site).
I was picking up my Hummer (Half the dealership is choppers and the other half is Hummers) the same day he was picking up his bike.
I was talking to the Store Manager and he was telling me he initially bought another model (not sure which) but it was too tall and his feet couldnt touch the ground so he went with the Bonnies instead.
