1967 Triumph 'Thunderpencil' (look at the tank and you'll see why I nicknamed it that :wink: )

AWESOME!!!!!

That parallel twin looks fantastic in that space - talk about a minimilist look

Is it yours or did you come across it one day?

Very sweet. Those old custom parts such as the finned primary cover are hard to find these days. A vey clean job.

Very nice...I love the way it has almost nothing on it that is not essential..Very clean.

its not mine!

But I am a memeber of the 'Bury Hill Bikers' group in West Sussex, I posted it on this chatroom, so i thought it would also be appreciated on the Rat Net. too?

Just go to Google and type in 'Triumph Choppers', you get some nice results. Thats how I found it. A guy from the States made it; it a 1967 650cc Triumph, so I'm told.

Do you see the similarity between the colour of the exhaust and the accents on the tank and mudguard - kind of adds to the effect - makes the whole thing complete

Hmmmmm blue pipes - blue frame perhaps

EnglishBaz,

didn't notice that until you pointed it out :wink:

Lets hope the UK weather gets better soon eh?

Oh yes please - I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms

Actually it's gorgeous here between the showers and I've got two days off - might have to do it you know

Someone certainly put a lot of work into that thing. For my tastes, any Triumph chopper should have a skinny rear-tire. There's too much West Coast/Orange County chopper influences on that ride (imo).

That thing is sweet! anybody ever hear that green bikes are supposedly unlucky? I just purchased a '65 Bonnie with a hard tail and plan on customizing it a bit further. probably won't be that nice though! This is my first post by the way...How do you post pics on here?
