Triton Classic Motorcycle

Spoted this rebuilt 1960's Triton at the local bikers meet. Only had my Sony T9 on me but it seems to have done a good job.

Very nice catch Martin, It's good that at least you had a camera with you.

I'd never heard of a Triton before. Sounds like it may be a combination of a Triumph and a Norton. Nice shot!

Absolutely beautiful! That's a lot of chrome and aluminum to polish though!

Lovely shot, what a super example.

If memory serves me, a Norton featherbed frame & Triumph engine. My father still has a nickel plated Norton featherbed frame in his garage some where.

Right you are! A Norton featherbed frame with a Triumph twin engine. A classic example of a British cafe bike from the '60s. Beautiful example too.

Cheers,
