No matter how cool you think you are, you aren't as cool as the guy who made this

...i can only agree with part of the sentiment...not sure which part...would have been a soft ride in more than one area...

Those of a certain age will remember a programme called 'Follyfoot'' with a hot chick and the coolest (ok perhaps crude is more the term?) Triumph ever

The "ride" was never the point ...

Back then we would have thought the opposite ..

But it's hardly chopped - slightly longer forks, (maybe three/four inch extensions in the forks) .. a bolt-on seat and extended cans .. top covers removed from the rear shocks and chromed springs ... small tank high bars .... the only thing that has been "chopped" is the rear guard ... good chance there's a front nacelle unit missing ... but I love the headlight setup ... the seat back is a little too upright for my taste ...

But back then that would have been way cool ... and if you don't see it then you're either too young or a square ..

[oldrider]

"SQUARE" ... you must be older than I thought! :eek:

Big Dave posting in a thread about how cool people think they are, there's a surprise.

I still offer lessons. You'd need the extended course.

Balls .. the chopper is probably a Triumph Bonneville ... 1966/67

By 1968 Triumph had a twin-leading shoe front brake, the one in the Dunedin picture has a single

The length of the kick starter pedal is slightly longer than from previous years, to give an easier starting stroke ..

The splayed angle of the carbs in the Dunedin picture suggests either a later model or that the pictured one has different manifolds .. but the frame and everything else suggests 1966/67 Bonnie - it might be a Thunderbird (or other single carb variant) from the same years .. and the twin carb manifolds have been added - or even a later model head added with more splayed inlet ports ..

Anyway - it's a twin, not a small single ..
