Oh I'm as happy as a blind lesbian in Billingsgate!
My Triton just won best 60's bike at the Barnsley M/cycle club show at Wombwell kart track. So it should get in a few mags I'm betting.. primarily The Old Bike Mart.
Dead chuffed!!!

It's good that others bring you back to earth when you're off on one.... No I'm not Frank Westworth (Barlow actually.... waits for all the Corrie jibes), the judges were all nornal but I must admit that when they had to break up the mass fight of harnessed golden retrievers it turned into a fencing match with white sabres.
Ah well onto the next project..

Thank you.
A trident in a featherbed is a bit unusual so we pushed the boat out a bit.. using Trident forks with the Williams twin disc conversion, modifying the seat rail on the Featherbed to give that sat in rather than on feel and a modern styled silencer albeit a Rob North 3 into 1 modded to fit a T150V and as much ally stuff as we could squeeze in.
I love it, it goes like the clappers and handles like a dream errr.. it should do once its registered officer.

It does look good - I like that style of fairing too and the colourscheme is eye-catching. I can see why it caught the judge's eye.
Why not enter it for bike of the year in a certain magazine - no harm in trying?

That is one of my fantasy garage bikes - a T150 Featherbed Tridenton.
Looks like a cracking job you've done there.
Any chance of some more photos of the modified rear sub frame, please?
(Anorak? Me? )
