@ Hipsville on a Triumph. Xtra

A couple of other Triumphs spotted at the Hipsville  Party Weekend.No background on these,I think I spent too much time drinking and not much on research, well it said it in the name " Party Weekend" so I did!!

Nice rigid Bobber, nothing fancy but all there and as they say "lots of patina"

A proper road warrior,I do believe these guys came from Bristol, Gavin said something about being in a band and liking a  Party!!
Here are it's companions for the trip.

A Harley and a very tidy Velocette 

Yes please,I like this a lot!!

@Hipsville on a Triumph

 

 Tim O'Regan came to the Hipsville Party Weekend on his rather nice T140 based ride.
He's parked in front of Martin's Model A Ford Roadster made up of original 30's & 40's parts & powered by a '59 V8 283ci Corvette motor and Myia's car in the background (details to follow, hopefully when she is back from the
GOW! speed hill climb)

Tim's bike defies being put into a category, to quote Tim on asking him "one of the many things I love about my bike is that it's impossible to categorise, which leaves many folks scratching their heads.If you must give it a name,call it Tim's Triumph." I'm not going to argue.

It's a handmade frame, the hardtail is made from Volvo Panhard rods,the front end and caliper are from a VFR800,the wheels 16" Harley,the tank again in Tim's own words a"gloriously unfashionable Mustang"

Tim got the Bike a year ago from a collection in Portugal where it had been unused since being built in the 90's,A bit of fettling,a new Biltwell seat from Sumo at 

Vintage Chop.com and Tim has corrected this situation as shown below

 

Changes in the pipeline include de-slabing the yokes(and there is a whole lot of slab going on it, has to be said!),a vertical oilbag to avoid the chain slap chewing the present one  & so that the chainguard can be dispensed with.( I believe I just put the FMW vertical Mooneye on his shopping list!)

All in all a nice long & low bike that according to Tim is " a lot easier to ride than it looks"

(Pics lifted from Martin's FB as was a rubbish reporter and took too few pics! Cheers Martin)
