The topmost photo was posted all over the interwebs with no source. I did some hunting and found it came from the Triumpher blog (Japan). A bunch of dapper dudes with damn good looking bikes.
The other day I posted Angie Cooper and her Triumph T120 chopper barn find… I wanted to share this 1978 Triumph 750 Bonneville 750CC T120 that will be on display at the One Motorcycle Show this weekend here in Portland.
Hard to pin a year and model on this bike, but the motor is a 1978 750cc T120 Bonneville, everything else is from random years or fabricated.
Get more info about the One Motorcycle Show, or go check out the Chrome Industries + MotoLady One Show hosted ride on Friday!
It’s one thing to see stunters doing this, or racers who can get so low in corners they could scrape shoulder- but to see a retro custom like this, rider dragging hand in a parking lot… man, that just makes me all tingly inside.

HOLD THE PHONE! This is a Ducati custom… bobber style. My favorite part is the tank sitting within the frame. I was just looking at old BMWs admiring some of the 1930s models that did the same.
I am completely in love. Legs shaking and short of breath in love.
Behold the 1966 Triumph Bonneville custom hard-tail bobber owned and built by Mitch Sander.
I got to meet this really cool cat over the weekend who found this Bonny engine and then built around it. He did it all himself, including dreaming up a GSXR front end swap.
More photos and backstory soon to come. Photograph by yours truly.

Anyone got any photos from this lil’ sesh? I am proud of her for going shoeless, instead of wearing those wedges… screw heels on bikes.
