Selling for a friend. 1947 Highly Modified Triumph Twin Speed with long stroke engine. This bike and the owner are legends! Featured in the Steve McQueen Movie "ON ANY SUNDAY" (1971). Original owner and rider (can be seen in the movie). Hawkeye Hillbilly built, rode and still owns the bike. It's in excellent show condition. Also to go with the bike are trophies and the racing vest worn in the movie. Hawkeye Hillbilly is a featured rider in the movie, who climbed the famous "Widowmaker Hill", just outside of Salt Lake City. Until this movie, the top of the hill had never been conquered! Hawkeye made it to within fifty feet of the top in this movie! Hawkeye and his bike have won several other competitions including the 1974 Canadian National Championships. A few things about the bike include: very rare all alloy long stroke engine, dual carbs with splay port heads (experimental for the 650 Bonneville), one of 300 imported to the U.S. for the Class C dirt track. This bike is sought after by the AMA Museum, National Motor Cycle Museum and others. The bike was recently featured in the Des Moines Concours d'Elegance! The bike is appraised at $30,000 to $50,000. Bike is sold on a bill of sale. My personal suggestion to the buyer is to come see the bike and have a beer with 72 year old Hawkeye Hillbilly (don't offer him anything but Miller Lite!). He's quite a character and has some biker stories that'll curl your toes! Hawk says he will work with the buyer in having the bike professionally crated and shipped. Will need a substantial down payment from winning bidder with full cash, bank money order, or similar, prior to shipping. Serious bidders contact me for any questions and I can have Hawkeye give you a call. Can also get additional pictures if needed. Happy Bidding! |

2014 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Concourse d’ Elegance Report
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.
If Carlsberg made race circuits...
Fri, 15 Oct 2010I should have filed this blog an hour earlier but I became distracted by the human circus that is the Jeremy Kyle show. It’s a shameful admission, I know, but I’m a firm believer in the policy of honesty being the best. Enjoying the luxury of working from home, I was only making myself a bacon sandwich with the TV on in the background when excited cries of ‘Freak, Freak!’ from Mrs MF drew my attention to this (see pic).
Watch: 2011 Speed Triple Dyno run
Tue, 05 Apr 2011With the full factory fitted arrow system and map fitted it was time to give the Speed a run on a Dyno to see where the power is at. Over two runs the best results were as follows; Power at the crank : 130bhp & 75 ft.lbs torque Power at the gearbox : 124bhp & 72 ft.lbs torque Power at the wheel : 119bhp & 69 ft.lbs torque The bike has covered 4200 miles and is due its first proper service at 6000 so you would expect to see a reduction in power. Triumph claim on a brand new bike the Speed Triple at best puts out 135bhp and 82 ft.lbs torque at the crank with the cans fitted, effectively mine has lost 5bhp and 7ft.lbs of torque.
