[@richardortiz8704]

some of that trial for driving across country I'd love to have that bike

[@richardortiz8704]

use airplane motor oil for that bike good motor oil for that Triumph

[@nortrap]

Great bike, love how real and honest it looks

[@jsdhesmith2011]

And the whole time he was talking the only thing I really wanted to hear was it running, lol. Nice bike, cool owner. You can tell he is passionate about his bike.

[@themotochannel]

Sorry but he didn't have time. We only met him like 20 minutes before we shot the video and he could only spare a little of his time. The video was shot next to see see motorcycle in Portland Oregon. He stopped by their shop and agreed to let us shoot this short video without any notice. Really nice guy.

[@richardortiz8704]

[@rb3166]

WE ALLLLL wanted to hear it start and run!! DAMMIT YOU TEASE.

[@kopynd1]

used to have one, mag, alternator, great john tickle café racer

[@jimcockburn4652]

Mate that old Triumph is a work to be proud of. You obviously remember the times when we had to fabricate bits and pieces and rework one part to suit another just like you have done with the old pre unit TR6. There was no going on line or to a parts book for a lot of parts because not all suppliers could get everything you wanted.

[@1212sman]

For those of you keeping score at home: That's 2 motors & 3 transmissions. Yeah, I'm sure "it's a lot of fun" when it's running...

[@rover100bunson]

nice to have a bike unique and put together yourself, even with single carb yiu must have a great power to weight ratio, the bike weighing in at nearly half a standard bike, well done shes great

[@tpvalley]

square profil back tyre? good for the strip....shit for the road? open, dry chain primary?

[@wolfskullband]

[@fredtapia1031]

I love Triumph motorcycles I own a custom 76 Bonneville chopper .

[@rolldog82]

Bsa or triumph for speed and reliability what you recommend?

[@paulj6662]

TR 100 MPH, it only took me 60 years to think of that.

[@kevina.m.5092]

It needs a different front rim, tank, and paint job to look like a 60's drag bike. For starters, anyway...

[@JamesCouch777]

Very nice bike. Thanks for sharing.

[@DanishFlandersDK]

No starting of the bike!? The dude even said that it starts on the first hit, so he atleast have to try and prove it!

[@bossco09]

Sweet ride......old school is cool school....:..:):)

[@ByronTexas]

Perfect bike. I was daydreaming about riding cross-country on it as I watched the video

[@detroitculture.]

cross country? hahahaha. good luck doing that

[@rb3166]

Wanted to hear it run but NNOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@manicvoyeur4889]

jomo billy camshafts? is that what he said?

[@fantasticflower]

He said it's a "JOMO billet camshaft." The JOMO #15 grind camshaft is Kenny Harmon's old profile, now replicated and manufactured by Megacycle. Great cam which can be tuned to deliver for strip and hot street.
