Conceptualise...Conceptualise...Conceptualise

Photoshop is a great tool, combined with a bit of spare time it's fantastic - My Triumph Scrambler, a bit shorter, no Lamps, no mudguards. Not exactly practical, but it's a great look.

Add to this a Silver Frame, Blue and White tank, Flat Track Bars and de-dah my Gene Romero replica.

Now it's just a case if making this into reality.

Big Influence!

Justbrian's Scrambler

Nice job - not overly keen on the white, bugger to keep clean. But this does inspire me to get my own Scrambler done red with a metalic blue Tank or Blue with a red Tank, or maybe like the Norton #44 Red frame Red Tank.

Mmmmm... choices choices!

UK Flat Track

XR750 and some Honda's

Watched a bit of UK Flat Track - Great sport, great bikes... would be nice to see a Triumph's compete here in the UK. Which remind me of the Bulmers Cider Team from the late 70's.
I believe one of the works bikes is on display at the London Motorcycle Museum listed in their inventory as 1977 TRIUMPH FLAT TRACK T140, WORKS 750cc.
