Triumph Bonneville description

This numbers matching, concourse quality, 1962 Bonneville underwent a nearly year-long restoration to bring it to the trophied condition you see in the photos. In this year’s Battle of the Brits it placed third in the Masters class.

For those unfamiliar, this is the last year for the pre-unit construction style engine and transmission; as well as, the last year (1960-1962) for the duplex style frame. The manual in the photos will be sold with the motorcycle and was one of the books used to restore it. The other books we used were an original shop manual and JR Nelson’s “Bonnie – The Development history of the Triumph Bonneville”

For the restoration the motorcycle was torn completely apart. The motor was completely rebuilt; any bearings, chains, seals and other parts that needed to be replaced were, as well as all new gaskets and seals. The cylinder was bored 0.020” over and is making just about 150psi of compression at WOT. The cases cleaned, and the covers were cleaned, and polished, to a mirror finish. The magneto was fully rebuilt

All of the parts on the bike that are black were powered coated, while all of the fasteners and certain brackets were replated. The gas tank and fenders were painted with the correct paints, supplied by Don Hutchinson. Every sticker that was on the bike from the factory has been replaced with new.

All of the chrome pieces on the motorcycle were re-chromed. These are the original rims, which have the correct stampings, and the spokes were replated. The tires, tubes, and rim locks are the originals to the bike. If you wish to ride this on the road DO NOT USE THESE ON THE STREET.

The sale of the motorcycle also includes an owner’s manual, as well as a nearly complete tool kit, with a copy of an original card insert. Also included with the sale are the original fuel petcocks and oil line crimps. These were changed out to the superseded part numbers because the original brass pieces do not seal nearly as well as the newer styles. In addition to those, a handful of other parts will be included with the sale.

I will ship internationally (at your cost). I have shipped motorcycles to most continents and will work with you to get it shipped out.

If you have any questions feel free to e-mail. I have many more photos, including many photos taken during the restoration, and I plan to include a usb stick containing all photos with the sale.

Thanks!

Pedrosa: most wins, least successful

Wed, 11 May 2011

Should Dani Pedrosa win at Le Mans this coming weekend he will become the most successful rider In the premier-class not to win the coveted title. After his triumph in Estoril the Repsol Honda rider currently finds himself on 13 wins and in joint first and a win, at a circuit that sees him rank as one of riders with the most victories in all classes, would make him a clear leader. Joining Pedrosa at the top of the ranking is Max Biaggi and Randy Mamola, two riders who became associated with the number two.

A thing of beauty?

Mon, 29 Mar 2010

The weather was pretty good over the weekend and I managed to get 500 miles in and become better acquainted with the Speed Triple. I’m still running it in but as it’s reputation suggest the bike doesn’t disappoint. There are some noticeable differences over most other naked bikes I’ve ridden, you could call them quirks, but i'll talk about those in a week or so.
