Topic: The Bike that started it all - My Triumph Thruxton

[Hariii]

I got my first bike quite late, at the age of 26 if am not mistaken. It was a Triumph Thruxton in almost stock condition and with two previous owners. This bike started it all for me, my addiction to bikes and my love for changing parts myself and bulding your very own bike. This got me through quite some harsh times

Here are just some of the most recent pictures...







I made so many mistakes and learned so much during this build...Good times Of course it is not finished (which bike is haha), but i am proud about what i did so far. When i started, i knew about motorcycles, electronics, tools or what a torque means...(many broking bolts later^^).

Cheers and stay healthy

Friend of mine had the hots for one of those at one time but did not pull the trigger. You have any old Honda's currently ?  Looks like a nice curvy woodsy Austrian road for some nice riding !
