Latest refurbishment.

[Geo]

I thought I would work on something a bit bigger than a watch for a change.  My sixteen year old Triumph Daytona is now as fresh as the day she came off the production line and ready to go?

That looks gorgeous but frightening at the same time.

[SSTEEL]

Impressive Geo!

[Michael]

Beautiful and scary at the same time

[jdm]

That's British as it can be!

Class work GEO [emoji3]

My attempts are a pale imitation of your standards of workmanship in both watch and bike restorations.

Thanks NAD, I'm just good at polishing!

[oli]

Looks great! (I forgot to mention I was also a bit of a petrol head in my intro! I guess my profile picture gives it away!

[vinn3]

good looking bike !

[Blacklab]

Outstanding Geo.

[bobm12]

Workmanship at its best...hats off to you Geo!

[TimFitz]

What a great machine.

[Alienfox]

That is gorgeous, stunning bike.

Excellent bike! I would like to try it!

I have a Legend TT 900. All bearded scary gang guys on the Harley meeting here in Hungary were looking at my bike and were asking what the heck is this Wow! bike?  I liked that so much. Triumphs are really rare here.

You wouldn't be disappointed Szbaloh.  With only 130 BHP it's fast but not super fast.  The balance of power, brakes and handling make it just about perfect for use in the real world.   Back in 2003 I did a continental trip with it and it was superb. I even took it up a dirt track to the top of a mountain when I was there, but it's certainly no trials bike!

Yes,mine has only 72 BHP but a lot of torque. I think that the engine could handle bigger transmission to get to higher speeds  this bike is not for that however.

That looks nice and comfortable like the 900 Trophy I use daily.

I think it's called pride in workmanship, it is better than most of the bikes I saw in the SanDiego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park. I must send you those pics.

Then again I am not really surprised.

lovely job George.

Why not posting some here Vic! I'd love to see them.

Cheers,

I suppose it is in topic and I doubt that George would mind so here they are.  The last one is the Apollo 9 Command Module, not a bike but it must have been a hell of a ride.  I am not a motorbike person myself, preferring to be clad in steel when at speed (wimp), but I enjoyed looking at them.  This is a glimpse of some stuff from the British section.

Cheers,

Vic

Oh ho! I love Nortons!!! Thank you for posting, Vic.

That last picture, I think the module needs some TLC!

Geo, I wonder if you would take it in and do some magic on it...that red you used in your bike would be perfect, I love that color and the hue you chose! Not all red paints are made the same! 

Cheers,

Bob

PS. Yes, me too Vic, I enjoy bikes a lot but like to brave the Miami streets armored just like you...If tanks were street legal I would be driving one!
