1966 Triumph 650 single carb. Created by Rob Gibson in Gettysburg Pa. The bike has been featured in The Horse Magazine (Jan. 2013) and the Antique Motorcycle Assoc. Spring issue. 

Too many trophys to list....

The goal was to create a vintage boardtrack bike that was still practical as a daily rider.

Completely rebuilt engine from the sludge trap up. Lightened crank, polished rods, rebored cylinders .060 over, new pistons, Hasting rings. High lift cams, fresh valve job, Morgo high flow oil pump. New Amal Carburetor with brass thumbscrew adjusters. Rebuilt 4 speed gearbox with new shift forks and shifting quadrant. Hand Jockey shift with brass door knob shifter (easily converted back to foot shift), Hayward multi plate dry clutch, belt drive, in custom open primary. 

The frame loop numbers match the engine. which matches the clear MD title in my name. 

The girder front end is an original 1930s triumph Webb girder, not a pot metal reproduction now made in India. Factory Metal Works hard-tail with 3" stretch and 2 1/2 " drop. BSA wheels with Firestone Classic Tires. Drum Brakes front and rear. Inverted brass brake and clutch levers. FMW Oil tank Barrons ribbed fender. 

Cole Foster Bobber tank with flush mount cap. Completely new electronics with Pazon sure fire ignition, Boyer Branson power box / battery eliminator. Sportster style coils, horn and fuse all hidden under gas tank tunnel. 

The many antique touches come from a variety of sources, the velocity stack and tail light were actually 1860s camera Lenses. 

Leather seat by Mother Road Customs, bicycle speedometer keeps Jonny Law happy, hi lo beam headlight with switch on the light bucket. No front fender, No mufflers.

Mechanical and Technical help by Cafe Cycles, New Oxford Pa.

The fantastic paint work is by John Waggoner of Big Toe Paint Works, the bike has a great patina, with aged brass and deliberate signs of age and use.

Starts first kick, a few drops of oil comes out of the crankcase breather hose, after all its British. 

NOTE !!! This is a custom hand built bike. It takes a bit to get used to, but to any any experienced rider, is not hard to ride. Its very quick and nimble, is light as a feather and is loud as hell.

THIS BIKE IS SOLD AS IS. NO REFUNDS. IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY DONT BID. 

I have a very reasonable reserve. I am available if you want to see the bike, you can even watch me ride it around. I am in Bel Air MD. and the bike is in my garage. If you must know I am selling it to finance my next project. I can help you ship, but you must make all arraignments.  I have perfect feedback and am one of the most honest people you will meet. If you have a question ASK.
