My New Bike!

[Indetrucks]

Picked up this little gem last Thursday.
Rode it a couple times and it gets more looks than any cars or sport bikes I've ridden. Besides, it keeps me outta trouble with Johnny Law :)

1966 Triumph Tiger 500cc "Bobber"
Kick start only and starts first kick everytime :yippy

[KTK]

wow nice... the toys just keep piling up. you look the look with the half helmet lol

[zman]

Dude that is a bad ass bike
congrats mang

[Dano]

Sick hooligan bike!

And holy hell would you learn how to hold a camera.

[Twisty McBitch]

Yer gonna need a bigger garage

[Globetrotter]

Siiiiiick!

Wait a minute, how do you stop the thing? Flintstone style? I no see brakes...

[Gman]

[Priapism]

Siiiiiick!

[Orguss]

[Indetrucks]

Siiiiiick!

Rear brake only.. LOL
And to make matters worse, the rear brake is on the left and the shifter is on the right! hahaha

Talk about a brain fart in a panic stop situation.
Guess the old bike pre 70's were all like this?

but yeah,, I gotta fat pinkie

LOL, nice! Yep, it took those Yurpeans (especially the Brits!) a long time to finally catch up to the rest of the world and put the shifter on the left and brake on the right. Is your Trumpet GP shift, too? Talk about a total mind fuck!

[/J/]

Now there's your perfect Southbay commuter bike!

Is this going to be a regular driver, or a collector piece?

[MOOCHER]

sweet bike man !!!!!!!!!!

[MojoNoGo]

That thing is sex on wheels.

I hate you.







j/k j/k Can I ride on the back? :naughty2

[BobbySanchez]

I am Soooooooooo Fuckin jealous. Im pissed!!! not at you at myself. Sweet bike.

[Research Monkey]

I am Soooooooooo Fuckin jealous. Im pissed!!! not at you at myself. Sweet bike.

Just don't punch him in the neck~

bike looks great! congrats!

[Jeremy]

I wanna ride it

[The Dude]

Bad-ass!!! Is it loud with those straight pipes?

[Indetrucks]

Thanks for the props guys! I thought ya'll would hate on it. lol
I love the thing, not your typical chopper or $40k + Harley. This thing actually has character ya know?

Yeah, all my bikes are GP shift and this not only has the shifter on the opposite side tha I'm used to, but also regular 1 down 3 up! haha

I got the hang of it after a block or two though, just gotta think about it at first.

Now there's your perfect Southbay commuter bike!

Weekend warrior. Good thing about it, is the value. It will never go down

Bad-ass!!! Is it loud with those straight pipes?

Fookin loud! haha

[The Dude]

Fookin loud! haha

Damn I bet looking at those pipes.

I would love to diversify the stable with a vintage classic like that...maybe fix up a rat bike slowly.

[Research Monkey]

Dude... Didnt I say fucking Tiger!!?!?!?!?!

[420]

Bitch'in dude.... !!

[sebo]

dude thats a sweet fuckin ride

[HoolieB]

What a wonderful find! That's very cool.

[apessino]

Wow... that bike is COOL if ever anything was. :D Where did you find it?

Given that much braking power, you never go over 40 mph on that thing, right?

[Indetrucks]

Wow... that bike is COOL if ever anything was. :D Where did you find it?

Given that much braking power, you never go over 40 mph on that thing, right?

Basically learned to ride it with minimal traffic (weekends/holidays)
Give myself a shit load of room between myself and the car in front.
Ride to the front of the cars (splitting) at all red lights when possible. This way when it goes green, no one is in front of me to possibly hit when they brake suddenly.

It cruises really good around town. So far got it up to 45 on PCH and it rides surprisingly nice. I wouldn't take it on the freeway though unless I got a front brake.

I picked it up from this Rockabilly kid who had to do a quick sell. He was leaving for Europe to go travel and back pack for over a year. He picked it up about a year ago from a guy in Bakersfield. Never rode it outta second gear (too hard for him to ride I guess?)
He picked it up for around $5k
I ended up getting it for $3,700

Said no more than 4 hrs after listing it on CL he had over 15 calls! LOL
He was in riverside, I drove out there after work in bumper to bumper traffic to snatch it up before another dood.

I could prolly turn and flip it, but the bike's dope and wont depreciate unless I smash in to the back of someone. LOL

[Nocturnal]

Good deal mang!

[freeride]

Yeah, thats definitely a keeper, nice find mang :thumb

[Canyonball]

Nice! Billy badass over here! :notooth

[Twisty McBitch]

That seat looks damn uncomfy though

[joe mamma]

BAD ASS! You should get a mohawk on your "cruiser squid" fake helmet....well I guess it won't matter w/o a front brake.

Still, sick bike man, I'm jealous! Time to start looking for a bobber :)

[Josh]

Nice! I built a '66 TR6 really similar to that a few years ago. Have fun!

[Markbone]

dude fooking sweet!! can i come by tuesday to check it out?

[Indetrucks]

Sweet!
But you know how the good old boys sales go...
It was only $100 :notooth

Oh and thanks GixxaaaaaaaarSex!! ;)

[Indetrucks]

As odd as this may sound, the bike may be up for sale.
Recently serviced (by me of course) with new gear oil and engine oil

If someone is interested, please PM me.
Something else may have come up and depending on the sale on this bike will determine if I can get my hands on the "other" bike.
The other bike is considerally more, but I've been bitten by the bug ...
UGH, why can't I have a money tree?

[Twisty McBitch]

Lol your like a chick with shoes lol


Wish I had a money tree for bikes

[Priapism]

Man, I have no use for that and will never ride it, but I WANT it. :laughing2 Keep me posted mang.

[BobbySanchez]

Anyone need anything crazy done for money.
i want his bike and im soo down to do ANYTHING for it

Too bad you already posted what you paid for it. :owneddance

I'd love to take it off your hands but its more of a want desire than any kind of practical need.

[Markbone]

yes :)


whew! what time you be around?

[Indetrucks]

I'm not looking to make a buck off a fellow SCM'r. I have no problem unloading it for what I paid. Rather see someone here get it and keep it in the fam.

Practical? LOL
I have 8 vehicles in my garage that aren't practical. I do things that make me happy, ya only live once. If we only did things that are practical, life as we know it would be BORING

Not to mention there is nothing practical about the common interest we all share.

whew! what time you be around?

After 5pm fo sho. Gonna run at the beach and go for a swim, lovely weather!
And likely in the garage tinkering. If I don't answer the phone/texts, it's cause I'm greasy in the garage.

[cage333]

[101lifts2]

Nice ride. Pic looks exactly like my neighbor Eric. Bucket helmet in all.

[Desmofemme]

DO WANT!!! nice... i <3 old trumps.

wanna trade my pretty POS ratbike for your not-so-POS ratbike? :naughty2

[HoolieB]

Hey, isn't there supposed to be a newer new bike now? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Indetrucks]

yes there is.. I fear I have a problem. Buying more $hit but not selling other $hit in order to make room for it. I think I have seperation issues...

Pics or :canweban

A friend of ours has 23 (yes, twenty-three) vintage Triumphs, BSAs, and Nortons, plus a couple of newer H-Ds and a Multistrada. All the old bikes run, and he has a log book in the garage so he makes sure they each get ridden regularly. When he lamented that he was running out of garage space, my husband offered to buy any one of the old Brit bikes. "Uh, gosh, well...I don't think I want to sell any of those. Wanna buy the Multistrada?"

You two have much in common. :laughing

Yeah.. I honestly have issues with keeping stuff....
Here's a couple shots of the latest purchase (since u asked)..

Def. not as "tough" as the 66 bobber.. but this one is more of a distance rider.
May be even able to take her up ACH with joo guys.. LOL Bringing up the rear of course.

Now you have a front brake~ Is the shifter still on the opposite side?

[Indetrucks]

yeah, still fooked up shifting.
This ones almost the same age.. but it's a 650cc (I think) lol

[MishMash]

Pretty sick dude.

One of these days ima gonna teach you how to be the other 1/2 of the equation...rather than just buy shit other people made.

1/2 the fun is building it yo' self....and don't even tell me your not creative enough....

Anyone that has as much flame-broiled marzipan in them as you do has to have a creative side ahahha

:fawkdance

[HoolieB]

Oooh, I like it! I think I like it even more than the lil green bobber.

If you want to sell the first bobber, my man would love to take a peek at it. If not, he's just gonna have to build his own damn bobber. :laughing

Man.. I've been there done that and tired of losing my ass.
I had over $30k in that Nova built since 1995.. sold it for pennies on the dollar.
Lincoln over 20K "might" be able to get $10k if I was lucky

I'm don'e building up and selling low. No way jose.. I have NO problem buying up someone elses dream and enjoying the piss outta it. Turning and selling it what I paid. The way I see it, these are like savings accounts that I get to enjoy more.

Besides.. working on stuff gets ur hands all dirty. That's why I have gloves :)

[MishMash]

.... That's why I have gloves :)

No it aint....don't gimme that. :owneddance

hahahah ok ok I get your point.

I get one more bike, then back to cars I go....

I miss Rods

[apessino]

My goodness... another awesome find! Quite a collection of coolness you are building there.

expand yer garage dude ...do you actually use the rest of your yard anyway???

[Indetrucks]

expand yer garage dude ...do you actually use the rest of your yard anyway???

I have about 6 more feet behind the already expanded garage. But I got my shed back there with my lawnmower etc.

I would love nothing more than to expand the sides of it. I HATE yard work, grass, weeds, roots, bugs, birds, cats, dogs, and anything else wild that likes to bark, chirp, wake me up, shit, crawl, bite shed etc...
I would LOVE to concrete the whole yard and build a half pipe or even install an outdoor car lift.
I hate yards.. it's a never ending weed session along with wasted water just to keep it green. All so it can grow and drop leaves everywhere and repeat the clean up process the following month.

[Twisty McBitch]

Have you ever thought about building your own place ??? or perhaps buying a a big ass garage and have a loft up above as living space ??? If i could have a collection of bikes I wanted if I had money to throw around I dream of doing it that way
