Default The Great Escape (50mm Fun)

I saw these two down at Dana Point Harbor last Friday evening...

Triumph 2 up

I am really proud of this shot:

I don't know about you, but I think motorcycles ROCK!

Thanks all! Hayward, there's actually a guy down on Dana Island (who appears to be living out of his camper van for the past week or so) stacking those rocks all over. He sells photos of them, but I just snapped my own, probably to his slight chagrin.

According to my sources, that is a 1971 or 1972 Bonneville with dual carbs.

I grew up at the local Triumph shop as my dad was the best Triumph guy around. I believe that the bonneville was the 2 carb and the Tiger 1 carb...It has been a while, but great series. brought back some great memories! Great job behind the camera!

Thanks for the info. I love Triumphs... my 2009 Daytona has no carbs, but it's still fun.
I would love to get an old Bonnie, but I need a bigger garage first!
