Owner name, location:
Ryan (Gepetto), Orange, Ca.

Bike name:
The Fucking Orange Bike



Engine, year and make, model, modifications:
Polished 63 Triumph T100SS with type C cams, 9.5:1 pistons, Boyer ign, Boyer battery eliminator

Frame:
1968 Triumph T100



Fork:
O.I.F. Triumph, smoothed and chromed the trees, my special top secret kill button.

Chassis mods:
Put the lower tube back in the frame that someone cut out, shaved off everything that was not needed, molded the hardtail (it is kind of long but it was on the frame when I got it and I'm really fucking cheap!!!) machined seat spring pins and peg mounts and coil mounts, rear fender mounts, headlight mount, Biltwell seat hinge thingy, welded in bungs for the tank mount.



Tire/wheel size and style:
Front is some old dirt bike hub that I polished laced to a 21, rear is a stock 18" Triumph both have universal trials tires(scary shit on the rain grooves).



Favorite thing about this bike:
It hauls ass around town, light weight(to make up for my fat ass), jumps off of whatever it can, and it is fucking ORANGE!!!



Next modification will be:
I'm going to rechrome the entire rear wheel$$$, put another fender on that wont break off!!!!

Other mods, accessories, cool parts, etc:
I got a box of old shit when my grandpa passed with a old Unity spot light in it and knew that I needed to find a good home for it, so I fabbed up the headlight mount for it and my friend who works for the county backdoored a flood bulb for it to get rid of the spotlight bulb.

Any building or riding story or info you'd like to include:
The motor came from an old flat track racer who won some championship with that motor in his bike in 64' or something, he talked and talked for hours before we struck a deal, I don't remember all the details cause I might of been a little drunk or something, he showed me pictures and a trophy but all I wanted was the engine not a history lesson!! It took me about a year after I got the frame, going to the swapmeets buying Mike Davis's and everyone else's old shit to put the bike together.
