FKC Triumph

Just a simple, clean bike. I dig it

Wargasser Speed Shop

Give 'em a call for all your fabrication needs


W/G PINNER "SPOOL" HUBS


W/G  39 mm - SHAVED LEGS - TUMBLED or POLISHED

They also sells some bad ass gas/oil caps and bungs

Norton NRV588

I know it's not very new and I'm not a huge fan of sport bikes, but this thing is a pure race machine. The 588cc twin rotor engine puts out 170 bhp and at a dry weight of 286 lbs this bike must fly! There's a 700cc version in the making.

Goals

One of my goals in life has always been to build a functional replica of a WWI era monoplane.
I'm thinking something like this early 1900's Bleriot.

Old School

The Roper Steam Velocipede of ca.1867
