Scott's 1973 Triumph Bonneville
Tinkering and testing, tuning and teasing, the typical lead-up to a vintage Triumph Bonneville‘s maiden voyage.

At MotoPreserve, we will see work done on a 1976 CB750F, 1973 Triumph Bonneville 750, 1973 CB350, 1969 CL350 and a 1975 CL360. All of these will be in various states of disrepair, hopefully coming out the tail end of the freeze in better shape than they started.

Found this custom shop in Italy, while looking for some inspiration for the new build. Called G Garage, they seem to be doing some cool builds, both Cafe Racer and Street Tracker. They even offer custom-fabricated bolt on kits for several bikes. Digging their work….
