DOUBLE TRIUMPH

Classic motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes, and this month we catch up with a bike enthusiast who has recently restored a ’72 Triumph T100, as well as building his own 1955 Triton café-racer. As the name suggests, the Triton is an amalgam of the best parts from Triumph and Norton, namely the Turner Speed Twin engine and the featherbed frame, along with a whole ream of fabrication work. As they were never officially produced by a manufacturer, it is highly unlikely that there are any two Tritons the same. The two machines in our feature have very different characters, therefore, but share the same quality of restoration and attention to detail that has been lavished on them by their skilled owner.
