The much anticipated 1968 Bonneville Triumph arrived 11 October

Finally arrived, although, the shipping company made great time...3,700 mile journey from Rhode Island (it's a Small Island off the coast of NY) to Edwards AFB, Mojave Desert.
Museum quality...

Congrats Ski, that looks better than new.

What a score! Great looking bike!
One of my uncles had a 70s Bonneville. He was kinda flaky and druggy back then...it ended up sitting on the side of our house for years. When I was in high school and had learned a little bit about working on stuff, I decided I was going to fix it up and get it running and ride it...My mom heard me trying to start it one day and, when I got home from school the next afternoon it was gone...
Enjoy Ski!

I see it even has the old school barrel grips.... very cool, nice catch.

 

[Fran Blacker]

Nice bike. Check to see if it has any oil in it. There were no drips on the driveway.

Very nice ! My first bike was a 69 Norton Commando wish I still had that bike!

Congrats That is a great bike, rode a new one back in 68 and thought it was wicked fast. For back in the day I guess it was.

Congrats on a truly beautiful motorcycle.
I was into Triumphs like most of you are into Mopars.
I had at one time 3 Bonnies and a TT Special ....My entire basement was Triumph parts/frames/engines
I had a custom Triumph with a modified engine. I sold everything when my wife was pregnant with number 2.
You need some Wentworth wrenches now and best of luck

 

[alsant]

Yeah I still have some of those wrenches from when I had my Norton!

Nice vintage Triumph-Ski

Beautiful Bonneville. It looks to be in amazing shape. Any plans for it?

Much in the same way the 66'67 B-bodies were burned into my head as a child as a the quintessential "muscle car", Triumph Bonneville's were that to motorcycles. I recently picked up an '09 T100 from the original owner have have put 1200 miles on it in about 3 weeks.

I swapped out the cans for something a little louder, but kept the peashooter look (British Custom Sleeper Pro's).

The way a motorcycle is supposed to look
If I was going to have one to kill myself on, it would be a Bonneville.
Now you need one of these to go with it.

 

[the mississippi madman]

Looks great

 

[khryslerkid]

Nice!

My very first bike was a '67 Trump. My second one was a '69 Beezer. Always liked the sound of those bikes!
