Triumph Connection
WARNING: I'm putting this link in because it has a very good page on the history of the Triumph marque and one with the various logos that have been used. But it is an eBay affiliate site so everything else on it will take you to eBay listings
It does actually act as a good search tool for your triumph needs,desires,or wishes from eBay.And lets be honest we all go and spend time there!!

SKULLS FOR YOUR SCOOT
Some Skull parts for your Bike,but do you really need it?
It's an air filter, yours for 660 euros! Looks well made but it would want to be at that price!!
And you might as well have a laugh and make it 666 !!
The same guy is offering this selection of headlight,shift knob and grips
I like a skull and skull related objects as I have shown with previous posts.But I think one needs to know when to stop, particularly when it comes to bike accessories !!!
Update: you have to laugh! Someone has actually got a patent on the air filter housing ,check it out

ATOMIC COFFEE TIME
Nothing to do with motorbikes but I got a great gift from a friend to say thank you for some work I did.
It is metal and shiny and above all an astounding piece of design from way back
Find out more of the history of this classic machine
PS Thank you Judy for the gift

| And as another friend rightly pointed out I love it because basically it's a steam engine. A steam engine that makes coffee, that's what I really love!! |

LONGSUE- this came in the post 2
I did mention I was looking at a back end for Longsue.
 |
| Well I now have the makings of a rolling chassis as the front wheel has been joined by a back one! It's got the scabbiest tyre that should go straight in the bin but it will do for wheeling around the garage! The brake plate is a bit battered but that's not a problem as it is being replaced  by one of these beauties ,CNC'd 6061 aluminium with SS hardware brake plates ,that hopefully will be winging it's way to me from Seven Sins Choppers in sunny Long Beach, Ca. Next pay cheque will see an order for head bearings, some chain adjusters and wheel nuts and hey presto one rolling chassis! |

" Panhead piston built up with TIG.
Drill big holes.
Finish with round files,sanding drum,whatever you've got!"
What you've got is another fine example of carved skull piston art
