Hurricane Ian destroyed this Motorcycle! / Can we rescue it?

[@Recycledhooligan]

Since it’s literally a survivor. I vote restore it to as much original.

[@weemsmotorco]

Great idea!

[@KeithHuntsman-TaFl]

Yeah my thoughts too. ✌️ 🛠

[@juliysmith4598]

💯🔥

[@kirkvaughn5513]

Give it back to the person who had it. Give his dream back.

[@KriskaMichael]

Full restoration, then ride it to Rodger so he and his son can ride it again.

[@weemsmotorco]

We agree!

[@KevinRiggin-kz3ct]

Do that restoration

[@ARGONONYA-ye6wl]

Do it Weems, Do it

[@chrisbaucom4832]

Ive built a 67 R from a Rat infested Box and 67 C from a Chopper and a 67 T120 from a years in a Barn love them and so glad you rescued this one and well as the pre unit. so gratifying.

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks Chris!

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Weems, Keep it original . I started riding 1965, 10 years old. But I remember this triumph well, everybody around the area seemed to own one except me. When I turned 13 I had saved up enough money working on the farm to take my first baby step into Motorsickle ownership instead of riding everybody else's. My friend Audie had a 67 TR6. I tried to buy it from him every single year till he passed just two months ago. Still in his garage. RIP Audie.

[@weemsmotorco]

Gerald thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the channel!

[@hwy6163]

I look forward to seeing this classic rebuilt.

[@weemsmotorco]

Us too!

[@daveco1270]

67 TR6 is one of my favorites. That one looks rough in the thumb nail, but I'm sure Weems can get it running.

[@weemsmotorco]

We will try!

[@aswins223]

Complete restoration

[@weemsmotorco]

We feel ya!

[@jefflybarger2813]

It’s beautiful the way it is!

[@weemsmotorco]

[@Nrgpack]

I rode on in the 70's, yeah, I'm that old 😁.Hm, all the important parts seems to be there. So, original resto will be awesome!! Big thanks!!

[@weemsmotorco]

Sounds great!

Please restore it back to original, too good not to and it deserves to be bought back to its original beauty

[@weemsmotorco]

We cant agree more!

[@donrice8026]

your the man to give it your touch of LOVE to make it beautiful again !!!!!!!! HAPPY WRENCHING

[@weemsmotorco]

I try!

[@clarkkent1817]

Complete restoration beautiful bike.

[@weemsmotorco]

I think so too!

[@Shawn-bo6lv]

Given the backstory of this wonderful machine it definitely deserves a full restoration. Now myself, I would build it to be a scrambler. Seeing as how this bike fought a hurricane and came out almost unscathed, this bike has earned the right to ride where ever, so it can kick nature's ass again when desired.

[@weemsmotorco]

I love that!

[@andrewbull3537]

See you tomorrow (Sunday) Jared 😁,give my best to the family 👪. Peace out ✌️

[@weemsmotorco]

You got it!

[@terrynorman8980]

[@weemsmotorco]

[@tetlow2]

My friend just got an 07 speedmaster. I really like it. She just ordered the service manual so i can get her in shape. It's my first Triumph experience. I'm looking forward to it.

[@weemsmotorco]

Very nice!

[@Jerry-b7z]

Mr. W, she's a beauty. I wouldn't change a thing.

You always make great vids but this one is special, thank you

[@weemsmotorco]

Thank you very much!

[@andrewbull3537]

1) clean up the old girl 2) re build the triumph . 3) give her back to Roger. 4) notice that the karma bank is full to the brim . 5 ) pat yourself on the back knowing that thanks to your generosity another bike and owner are re united . 6 ) treat yourself to a nice cool beer ...or tea ( well ,you do ride triumphs 😁) Peace out ✌️

[@weemsmotorco]

Perfect idea!

[@thedoty5729]

As always so amazing to the history kept

[@weemsmotorco]

Thanks Friend!

[@dietrichess9997]

Happy Sunday! 🙂 Great rescue! I have a 66 Triumph. It's a chopper, but it's less of a chopper than when I bought it. ;-)

[@weemsmotorco]

Oh nice!

[@juliancrooks3031]

Gotta keep it original, totally restored it will be a great piece of triumph history. In stock form it's beautiful without any modifications

[@weemsmotorco]

Couldn't agree more!

[@chavezw16]

Always love your videos. keep up the good work! you are an inspiration!

[@weemsmotorco]

Thank you so much!

[@xanbiker]

RESTORE as much as possible I love the originality of it. Match it to your dad's bike but go blue and cream instead of red!! would be my suggestion.

[@weemsmotorco]

Cool idea!

[@cimarron3114]

As it is, right now...💪

[@weemsmotorco]

will do!

[@neilmackinnon3371]

I had a 1968 Bonnie when I was 18... that's 47 years ago... wait! What! How did that happen? Anyway, given its rarity and how complete it is, would you consider a standard restoration?

[@weemsmotorco]

That seems like the best option for it!

[@GeoffBooieQld]

👍Gets my vote, up and running but still looking like it's been through hell.

[@droidster888]

As it’s all there and original, a restoration would get my vote! Wouldn’t have to be a show winner/concours but a riders bike. If it was a bitsa and parts missing and not original, I’d go sled/scrambler!

[@weemsmotorco]

Perfect choice!

[@WreckingCrewHR4K]

That's such a sad story, it's good to hear all survived,.. As for the motorcycle it deserves a complete rebuild, however it's patina and lasting legacy would be erased, let the machine show it's survival scars and just rebuild the engine and replace necessary parts for a safe ride, just give all of the rusted metal parts a light rub over with wire wool and a generous coating of your favourite engine oil,.. Results: a reliable iconic motorcycle with attitude and unforgettable history.

[@weemsmotorco]

Great Idea!

[@digschopper9321]

Ive on my second rigid bobber, but you know the RULE: if its bone stock, leave it alone. My matching numbers Lightning will stay stock.

[@weemsmotorco]

You got it!

[@dextergleason9421]

As complete as that is I would restore it to original for sure. Paint colors and all. Had it been molested before it arrived then my answer may be different. Very cool bike.

[@weemsmotorco]

We can’t agree more!

[@jimbt719]

When I was a kid and I mean 5th and 6th grade I think I had a motorcycle magazine that compared the Bonneville to a BSA lightning and I wanted that Bonneville so badly are you should keep the picture open on my bookcase as a kid and never got one did ride a couple of them, was seduced by a Honda then buy a Kawasaki Z1 1973, yamaha's couple of Harley's a Buell M2 in 1999. More Harleys, but I always wanted a stock 67 Bonneville. Restore it back to original is my vote. And I know you are the guy to do it Mr Weems

[@weemsmotorco]

Will and can do!

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Hurricane Ian was not a normal storm. It was a MEGA hurricane. Still recovering in SW FLORIDA.

[@weemsmotorco]

It was extreme!

[@noeldoran8884]

Best to make it a good rider and save the unbelievable history...

[@weemsmotorco]

We agree!

[@ianhogan2535]

Restore to original spec. This bike deserves it.

[@4ager505]

Been more than a little while since I worked on a '67...but shouldn't it have the round cover in primary so it can be timed with a light on the rotor/timing stake? Looks like the primary in the vid does not have the cover. Old guys like me have bad memories...help from anyone out there?

[@weemsmotorco]

That style of cover came out the following year in 1968.

Oily rag restoration it will be much easier and more economical to use all the original parts and will get way more attention than just another shiny characterless restoration.
