I have loved triumphs since I was 14, I recently purchased a 59 trophy and it has Turned into an obsession. Bought myself a 68 bonnie a couple weeks ago and work will begin as soon as the 59 is finished. I have to say that these are with out a doubt the coolest bikes ever (norton, BSA, and Triumph) Hopefully when the remodel is done on my house I can buy a new bonnie....... didn't want one before I started looking around on here at your guys bikes.

Welcome aboard. Your are right, these bikes are the coolest ones on the road. Good luck with your house mods. Remember to save space in your budget for your garage. You'll need a good home for your bikes ....Cheers.

well the 68 was a complete basket case....with a hard tail jammer style frame and a cheesy 70's style springer front end. the factory frame and other body parts are in such bad shape there is no hope for them. I would love to restore it but I'll probably get a stock tank, old triumph front end with the springs on the forks, and do a suicide shift bobber with it. man....... why do people let these awesome bikes get in that kind of shape? :???:
