To whom it may concern,
Great site!!! I have visited MANY times while I collected reference material for my ’69 Bonneville build that took place mostly in my dining room between early October and January. It’s not to the sanitary stage yet. Still doing shake-down runs but, I can’t hardly stop once I’m out on a ride without having a crowd gather around the thing. Then of course I spend the next hour answering questions and telling folks how it came together. Anyway, I have some pics I’d like to share with you if you guys are interested. It could be classified as a “street tracker” I suppose but, mine doesn’t have any fiberglass on it. Mostly I figure it’s a hot rod and since I had to bob it and chop it a bit to get it to where it’s at, it may be time to begin a new classification or catagory of bike. I call be bike The Bopper. Drop me a line and I’ll send you some picks.
Thanks,
Larry

Everything looks marginal untill you get (from front to back) to the seat area, where it looks like it got to the point where they decided to finish it up as quickly as possable. It’s a bland job of building a flat tracker. sometimes you got to call it as you see it. You see alot of attention to detail which is to be aplauded, it just looks too mismatched as if something else was originally in mind.

And here I am with a running 72 Bonnie, 5-speed and box stock . . . hmm. I especially like that big front disk.

Nice – and it’s got a proper front brake so you can ride it enthusiastically too – not like another Triumph-powered special that graced this site recently!
