Most Popular Triumph?

[LoVel]

Ok Ok. It's the Thruxton! Unbelievable I know.

The number one choice of hipsters everywhere.

This is the one that has always made my heart go pitter patter, but it was a long struggle to find one in decent condition (Supposedly only 400 were brought here in my year, 1995). I just love the looks of it though. Somehow it just looks so capable, don't you think?

My friend David picked up a '98 Steamer a year ago for a ridiculously good price. He's put a little work into it (paint was bubbling off the tank due to ethanol leaching through the plastic) and threw on a set of dirt wheels (he has both) when we rode the Bayley Hazen Military Road this fall. Bike looks great, and he's thrilled with how well it handles even the rough stuff.





He should be at the BTB this year if you want to get a closer look.

Very nice. There are a few painted like that on the Tigertriple forum, and it makes them look even more industrial and functional. This is a picture of a custom red that I dearly love from that same forum, but its on a Girlie and not a Steamer:


I have read all of your ride reports, and so I remember seeing the original bubbling red. My Tiger has some slight air bubbles, and I was thinking about sealing it with the Caswell kit before repainting, as then no ethanol leaching could take place. Lots of other stuff to do to it first though, to get ready for some long trips after I retire in June.
I am hoping to return to the Bash this year, as I have had work conflicts the past several years. Two of my buddies have Triumphs, so we may all come together. Still waiting to see how work schedules play out this year. It would be cool to have two Steamers in the line up this year.

I concede that Thruxtons and Bonnies are beautiful, especially if the Bonnie is a two-tone T100. II guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?
