Triumphs: Good and Evil
Light, bright, clean and in good nick, a stock 1966 Triumph T120 Bonneville is a visual treat.
Was there a prettier British machine made in the mid -1960's?
No signs of oil leaks, burned chrome or misuse. This restored Triumph was done right, giving it's owner a machine he can proudly ride without fear of breakdowns. All the nostaglia without the drama.
And now for something completely different, a Triumph with a vibe that's as moody as it's exhaust note.
Dark, dangerous, rowdy and rude, this Bob Sholly-modified Triumph is pure evil in it's attitude.
It's an unapologetic "Speed Machine".
That seat is a Sholly Triumph special, used at Daytona roadraces on a number of machines in the early 1960's. Sholly Triumph was a mid-Atlantic dealership that was a hub of racing activity in the glory years of Triumph and AMA Flat Track racing in the USA.
With performance to match it's looks, this Bonnie rocks!
Those wide handlebars provide excellent leverage to push the machine
with authority through the twisty sections.
The fuel tank is a modified Yamaha unit.
Below, a great image of The Man himself, Bob Sholly riding the
wheels off his Triumph when he was
bangin' bars with guys Gary Nixon, Bart Markel and Dick Mann.
