1967 Triumph TR6

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Build something that was my creation but also some attributes to people I’ve lost but learned from

What motivated you to start your project?

Always wanted to build a triumph and bike I started with came from a friend that had passed away. Plus being my first build figured it was a good practice run  for future projects

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Used a springer front end that’s heavy enough for a lot bigger bike and used a lot of little brass accents

What are you most proud of?

How well it turned out being my first ever build and first British bike and although not perfect paint came out pretty good for a backyard builder

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

Most people say it’s awesome and love the old school look of it
