Ron’s 1973 Triumph Tiger A Motorcycle And A Miracle

Описание: The story Ron’s Triumph Tiger
Towards the beginning of the year a gentleman named Ron contacted me about restoring his old Triumph Tiger… like pretty much everyone who contacts me about a restoration I did my best to try and talk him out of it😂 but Ron explained to me his sentimental value to the bike along with some of the life changes he had recently gone through and expressed his need for some wind therapy. We came up with a plan and decided the best route to go was a mechanical restoration focusing on making the bike as reliable and easy to maintain as possible (Ron’s in his late 70’s). Brent with the help of his awesome grandson got the bike all stripped down and cleaned 40 years of road grime from everything. Our friend @emmabooton1962 at Moto Town did the engine work and it runs just as good as it looks! After we got the engine back Brent was off to the races replacing every inch of wire, bearings, brakes the list goes on and on. The original tank wasn’t salvageable but I did find UK made replacement and I painted it myself giving it the best “new old” look I could come up with. The finished product is a great running, easy to start machine that will last Ron for plenty of trouble free miles. I couldn’t be more proud of my team and how this bike turned out. Unfortunately during the process of all of this Ron was involved in a swimming accident and became temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. I’m happy to say he’s recovering extremely fast for the type of injuries he sustained and if all continues to go well he should be riding by late spring 2022. #Triumph #triumphtiger #windtherapy #everydayisagift #vintagemotorcycle #vintagetriumph
