Ohh is that a speed tripple front end?

OldSkoolFool · 12-08-2006

Looks pretty seggzy. Any higher res pics of this fine piece?

You know when you used to go out with your mates to pull a birdl.
And the good looking girl would always have an ugly friend (a "tug").
But the Tug was always good in the sack 'cos she didn't have the good looks to get by on.

Well, that Triumph is the Tug!!

Regardless of Matt Capri's reputation, that is a hot bike. I dig the colors and the S3 front end, and the mag wheels. I can't tell from the pic if it has dual front disks or not...not that it NEEDS them, but they sure look cool.

Nice looking bike.

Doesn't really look much like a Thruxton anymore, by which I also mean, it doesn't have that "retro" feel.

I believe I saw that thing in the rolling stages earlier this year at South Bay?
Hmmm, He had a nice rolling chassis with his big bore motor, upside down forks all kinds of nicely machined details.

That is awesome.
Maybe Motorcyclist would give THAT bike a good review .....because it is closer to a Duc GT... :wink:

For a minute I thought it was a T-Bird! Still Matt builds some incredible 1 offs. "Sweat" I don't know what you think his reputation is, but I got to meet, and ride with the man, and as far as I'm concerned he is one of us.

He rode a custom framed 1150cc 120hp +/- Bonnie Street Tracker that was the Shyte, and the Man Did the Bizness with us. Fast as he could be on roads I know well and he'd never ridden.

I know the man & as far as I'm concerned his "Rep" is Golden!

on another forum he has a reputation of claiming big numbers and failing to post dyno results. Some think his horsepower must be smaller horsies...smaller more expensive horsies.

Looks like Ohlins forks and Oz wheels. Much higher spec than the S3.

Well it never was a Thruxton, not a black engine, so it prob started as a Bonnie. I think it has a great dirt tracker look to it; almost like the white bike Mule built that was at the motorcycle show two or so years ago. Really needs the Scrambler's pipes to complete the look though.
