    that would of been nice,have a couple of them,all the chaps,I know who have them ,work the
    engine,s so maybe that,s why there not getting to much problem with them,
    It's not so much problems. They are generally reliable if looked after. But out of the factory? they leave a lot to be desired......... Back to your build. Looking sharp.

      I,think most bikers like to work them and get that thumping sound,so you can hear them a mile off,a few mouths back ,saw oh,well over 250,yes I know a lot,
      but it was,that amount,as the club was going to a funeral of one of the members,best site I had seen in year and in these,s number as ,most bike gangs have ,
      been outlawed hear and not able to meet or wear there colors,but this lot,well,full colors and if Mr bobby real was going to stop them,
      but on the other hand Melbourne police do like to shoot as well,
      ta real happy your liking this so far,

            this morning progress have all the chrome added to the engine,rear wheel in,adding the
            pluming as I,per-instructions,makes it easy to do,

            happy with how this is,going so far,well hope your liking it,

              I was doing some reading on them,and they have some Yamaha,parts as well,
              it would be cool if they were in kit foam,not just action figure ones,or made be you could build,but trying to find the bikes used,

              Walking Dead's Daryl Rides a Triumph...ish

              The Walking Dead is back. If you're a fan of the show, you may be interested to know Daryl Dixon rides a vintage Triumph chopper motorcycle. Actually it's a Yamaha XS650 frame with a 1965-1970 Triumph Bonneville engine. The website EatSleepRide reports that prior to the fame and fortune acting has brought him, actor Norman Reedus regularly spun wrenches at a local motorcycle shop which served him as an income and soul food. Bits and pieces of the bike have changed through the 3 seasons, but the British engine and Japanese frame configuration remains the same.

                That's what I got Monica you could do the Honda as that's in kit form but would still need modifications but no joy on the triumph

                  oh that sounds good,is it the right model ? plus you wound need a Yamaha as well,in the right model ? ,also to make the build,
                  the other is just the Triumph motor in a Yamaha frame, will have a look for some chopper kits maye there is some around,
                  very simulate to it,
