Triumph was THE bike to own back in the 60′s, and I’m sure Steve McQueen, Bob Dylan, Clint Eastwood, James Dean and the like had a great deal to do with it. I know they influenced me to buy a Bonneville. Always hated the way it would grind going into first gear, just like every other “Limey” bike made.

Been riding since I was 11, almost 65 now, have 20 some antique bikes from a 1909 Neckarsulm to a 1997 DR350 Suzuki enduro, the only non antique. Riding and restoring is a way of life and a great tonic to clear the cobwebs.

Love this article. Thank you for putting it together. I’m a bit of a motorcycle enthusiasts. I’ve ridden and raced a ton of bikes in my life time and worked my way to the collector stage. During the last couple years rode my ’15 Indian coast to coast as well as the same on my ’27 Indian. You’ve captured some the legends in riders and motorcycles and masterfully captured the reasons we love to ride them. I’ve always thought the late 60 model Triumphs were the “King of Cool” when it comes to bikes. Such a good representation of a motorcycle, simple clean lines. My ’68 and ’70 Bonneville are among my prize possessions.
