Awhile back posted about getting older and not finding new bikes that exciting :angry:at all etc so 3 of us went and picked up a brand new Thruxton today and have spent some time stripping it back to bones in order to make way for a "Thruxton" as we would have one,to be honest inspired by a thread started by another KBr 'redneck" when he posted the thread we Ohh and arred and then thought "fuck it" why not.Will keep you posted and hope we end up with something like this.....

That looks awesome.
NIce work.
Maybe you should go into business "pimping poeples ride" motorcycle style.

Bikes only - and it shows you dont need excessive BLING to look cool.

Start with a full suspension upgrade, followed by higher quality braking packages up front.
Check out Rat net for all the appropriate linked sites, and tech mods.
Good luck. (a nice big stroker kit, and Thruxton cup spec detail will give you close to 100 ponies)$$$$$

Yeah if Triumph made them like that I'd be after one.

That one was done by a French company when the new bonnie was released to should what they thought Triumph should have done.

If you get anywhere close to that it will be super sweet.

Mods are good, everyone should change bits and pieces to personalize their rides.

:shit: Mike

nice but who draws straws for the first ride when she's tricked up.

Open face lid, Bates goggles, white scarf, leather jacket (with ACE Cafe' insignia), stove pipe jeans, & winkle pickers to do the period look :niceone:

BTW are you actually going to complete any of these rolling works in progress you're filling you garage with ?? what are you up to, 4 now ?
