Triumph Bonneville description

Up for auction is a museum quality 1968 Triumph Bonneville T120R, all original, with 29.5 miles.  This is quite possibly the finest example on the planet of an all original, unrestored, virtually factory fresh 68 Bonnie. It's truly amazing!

If you are a serious collector or just want to own a time capsule representing the pinnacle of British Motorcycle history - you won't find another bike like it. A once in a lifetime opportunity!

It is obvious the bike has been stored in a climate controlled environment since its initial purchase. It maintains all it's originality from date of manufacture with exception of replacing the fuel lines, carburetor cleaning and replacing the engine, primary chaincase and gearbox oils. Starts on first kick and sounds like a brand new 1968 Triumph - as it should.  There are absolutely no visual imperfections, with the only exception of some slight paint peel on the Triumph tank badges.  Paint on tank, frame and side cover is all original and absolutely beautiful. There is not much more to say -  this bike is as close to perfect as possible.

Please look at all the pictures and video closely. This is a serious piece for a serious buyer,  Welcome and recommend the opportunity to speak with any interested party before you bid. Mileage may increase a little as I move the bike around.

Bike is available for local pick up and can be inspected by appointment before auction end.  I will ship domestic and internationally, however the Buyer is responsible for coordinating shipping arrangements and all costs. I can assist by recommending a shipper and help coordinate pick up & load.  I can also deliver within a reasonable distance from my location for $1 per mile fee. I am planning to be at the Triumph National Rally in Oley, PA on June 24th & 25th and can meet there as well.

There is a non-refundable $250 down payment required within 48 hrs of auction end. Balance is due in 7 days payable by bank check or wire transfer.  I can store the bike for a reasonable period of time while you schedule and await pickup.  This is a 48 year old bike, it is sold as is, there is no warranty expressed, written or implied.  

I reserve the right to end the auction early.

I try to describe as accurately as possible and to the best of my knowledge.  If you have any questions  please contact me before bidding!  If you would like to speak by phone, send me your phone number and best time to call. Thanks For Bidding!

Brits Abroad

Tue, 10 Aug 2010

It's a rainy Tuesday evening and I'm trawling the information super highway for my parallel twin fix, when this little gem pops up. It's a teaser for a film called 'Brittown' featuring vintage Triumph motorcycle racer and mechanic Jeff "Meatball" Tulinius from the Hell On Wheels bike shop in Anaheim, CA. Enjoy

50th Anniversary Of The Great Escape To Be Celebrated With Electric Motorcycle

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

July 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Steve McQueen film, “The Great Escape,” and to commemorate the golden anniversary of McQueen’s escape attempt from German forces during WWII, McQueen Motorcycle will unveil a special electric motorcycle, the Xscape. The Xscape is scheduled to be McQueen Motorcycle’s first production motorcycle, with cues to incorporate today’s technology and integrate “the history and design of tradition.” Details are scarce at this point, but considering McQueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy in the scene, it would be reasonable to expect similar styling. In fact, looking closely at the photo above will reveal wire wheels, most likely a nod to the vintage Triumph.
