1968 Triumph bobber, Olde English getting kick started

[dstorshun]

love the brass knuckle kickstart footpeg

[1275badger]

one of the smartest ive seen top job

[RavenMoonias]

This bobber is a piece of art & I love it :D

I am doing some custom leather work on my seat since I already work on regalia & other Native crafts. I am going to be working on some custom side saddle bags for it as well. Smaller & removable for when I go on small road trips e.g. pow wows. I just thought 'd mention it since I seen cobrachoppergirls comment above. They are custom bikes & people need to understand they are all individual preference to their owners/riders.

Ride safe! Miigwetch

[MortenBoHansen]

damn damn damn that bike is AWESOME!

[Edinwildlifetog]

Stunning bike!

[gtrplr42]

This is the nicest bobber I have seen. I love this bike. How much are you looking at for something like this? I can email you if you don't want to quote over youtube.

Thanks

[hadidta]

english/american combination can't be beaten!!!!!!!

[thetemplarspirit]

all honesty, this is like the nicest one iv seen. it's bad man.

[jaohlert]

Is that an external oil filter, like what would be used on a car? If so that is kick ass!! Totally functional and easy maintenance. Very nice!

[turner593]

[HighwaySage]

Sa-WEET!

[jflexe99]

I want one...This is gorgeous...

[madpauper]

I swear your one of the few guys that know how to tune and setup one of these motors. And yes before anyone asks I am an expert I've had more of these apart back in the day than you can shake 10 sticks at. I have to give you some real credit on that one. Tuning these things can be a bitch if your not intimately acquainted with these motors and carbs idiosyncrasies. I wish I could make decent livin workin on bikes again! I am jealous dude. Keep up the awesome eh! Peace!!

[m3r3m87]

[AILDdrums]

[HeavayMetal]

I really like this "Olde English" bike & the blue "Low Tide Larry".. very nice..

[Bristab00]

dood... those handle bars are so sick, thats what id opt for when i do up my bob

[mrpersonccc]

I am about to graduate from college and am considering getting one of these once I get a job.

Although I am not a very good mechanic when it comes to complex things that require a lot of skill, knowledge, and experience (rebuilding engines, frame fabrication, etc) I love working on old bikes like my 1975 Maico that I'm currently bringing back to life.

What is the typical cost of a similar engine and frame?

And how much does someone (such as yourself) charge for a finished bike?

Thanks sir!

[DREAMFINISH09]

Nice work mate all class!

[DREAMFINISH09]

Nice work mate all class!

[BirdBobbyG]

love the white walls man its classic bro and the knukle kick start

[Fibratu]

Very nice bike, what'd be the price on that beast ?

[supercrouton]

This one is sold, but I can build another one similar if you like the style.

Cheers, Dan.

[Fibratu]

@supercrouton sadly i live half a world away, was just curious about the price range, thanks.

[ikillmonkeys123456]

@supercrouton , Hi how much then to build this if i was interested? Many thanks Martin

[aj2204]

@supercrouton whats the price for one

[MrBoston987]

Mmmmm....that thing is tasty!

[cobrachoppergirl]

Everybody's going ape shit over bobbers, but there's no place on them to carry anything. Maybe a backpack, and a backpack strapped to gas tank. I use my bike to haul groceries (or enough clothes for a week on vacation) in a huge duffle bag that slides over the sissybar, and a backpack strapped to the gas tank. I can carry a whole load of groceries, and if I needed more space, I could throw on my duffle bags and wear a backpack. You just can't do that with a bobber.

[supercrouton]

You're missing the point. Your bike obviously fills your needs, but for a weeks vacation, my needs are different: no groceries, no duffle bags just what fits in my pockets, and in a small tool bag. Just because this bike is not just like yours, does not mean it is not the perfect bike (for someone besides you).

Cheers, Dan.

[DRugfree1987]

@cobrachoppergirl bobbers are meant to enjoy, and cruise around...not carry groceries

[jergarner]

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of bobbers..... but that bike is F#@$ing sick. I'm a fan of anything when it's done right.

[RockaChrillie]

Now thats a fucking bitchin bike man! Awesome!

[twolowdown]

you build these bikes?you bad mutha fucka!much respect

[himynameismattomlin]

amazing triumph

[sumitino]

[hippypower69]

[geniusium]

[alexking112]

[BillyMegaWatt]

Yep, had to come back and watch this one again! A beautiful thing my friend.

[variantgirl17]

That bike is just nasty, love it. BOBBERS RULE!

[supercrouton]

Thanks!

[powersliding]

the smaller bobber/choppers are the better lookers and this work proves it

[zaptheace23]

thats a nasty bike! gotta love the sound of the old triumphs!

[67giacomo]

Sweet ride.I own a 1976 T140.Love the sound and ride of a TRIUMPH

[BillyMegaWatt]

Your ride is a thing of beauty! In fact, I just acquired a barn fresh 1967 and I'm in the process of doing a total re/re. She has sat since 1980, what a time capsule. Thanks for posting this video, it's a perfect motivtaor!

[redpimp123789]

SWEET that's all i'm saying!!!

[BasherCoon]

Ohhh, man. That thing is NASTY! I'll take two. ;)

[bradgotch]

dign the knuckle duster kick starter.

[tankgunner9]

I didn't know what bobbers where until a few days ago man, but I know triumphs, and now that I do, yours is the perfect example of what I like/want. Bitchin bike dude!

[supercrouton]

Thank!

[lukeiveson]

jizzz in my pants :0

[BlazedCaptain1]

[dctim]

AWESOME! I just rewatched this after ages and only just notices the Guiness bottle caps on the handlebars. Nice touch even if they're not strictly English ;)

[chubbyhubby020]

gorgeous!...

[stephengilstrap]

Nice ride! Wow! I thought Triumphs had left hand throtles though?

[beforever]

I love the springers too, what are they?

Also what's the rake etc.

[batboyboogie]

a springer front end always has my credits.

[edslides]

where can i get that kicker pedal?

please.

[NoFear5487]

@edslides  yea i would like to know thats pretty badass

[seanmurray90]

the emblem on the gas tank looks just like my family coat of arms except ours is blue. and had a lion ans sword under the helmet . u irish?

sick ass bike man. im 19 and i really want 2 build one soon.. money is hard tho

[rodnisimo]

The cops in Malibu would ruin me for riding that.

[9rin]

[xxdmansxx]

[countrypicker1]

[REGGAE7777]

[vwontheautobahn]

Great bike

[psychomig]

badass bike!!

[sleepy4keeps7]

one sweet bobber bro, very nice...

[DszeroX]

Ive looked at plenty of videos and pictures of motorcycles of all styles, I have to tell you that this bike alone has totally ruined me. I had an idea of what I considered to be the bike to have. All of that went out the window as of a few days ago when I saw this. Excellent work man, keep it up!

[supercrouton]

Thanks!

[shegotlockjaw]

Heh..luv the brass knucks on the kicker.

[renagade12]

what year triumph was it??

[renagade12]

fuck thats sick bro!

[tecknerd]

those brass knuckles are the shit...

[lkb007]

I love it..!! I have a 1948 Royal Enfiel. My vid next week.. Congratulations !

[BobbyNigiri]

Love the bike, one of the cleanest ones I've seen. What kind of frame is this?

[downwiththeswickness]

Very tough looking bike

[supercrouton]

Thanx!

[bonhampala]

and mean, totally badass

[Cbobber1]

Sweet Bike !! Just wondering what springer front end you used ? How many inch over or under is it ?

[gregper]

Where did you get the Handlebars?

[supercrouton]

I made 'em.

[djfung]

where did you get that kick starter? did you mod it from a harley unit?

[supercrouton]

I modified it.

[NemSSCamaro]

did you build the back half of the frame yourself ? or order it.

[rrrezz]

that thing is bbbbbbbb bad.

[dctim]

I really want one. Although it'd be my only bike as I haven't got a daily ride sorted yet, and I don't think management at work would take to kindly to starting that up right outside before setting off, hehe

[hulkhoganwwf]

how did you fabricate the rear fender? Im having trouble with this issue

[supercrouton]

That fender is a 13 gauge spun fender

(old school tech) that I had custom made for this bike. Unfortunately, the vender that I bought these great pieces from is no more. Sorry. Cheers, Dan.

[tookie2too]

Nice! Awesome bike dude. Whats the sizes of the rims, if ya don't mind.

[supercrouton]

16 rear and 21 front.  Cheers, Dan.

[circlebread]

complete with the brass knuckle kick start...I love it

[jneisen]

What type of tank is this?

[supercrouton]

I don't really know, just a random high-tunnel tank that I thought looked cool.

Cheers, Dan.

[pro2j11]

I've been looking at bobbers non stop on-line and absolutely love this bike....also very interested in an approximate price range for this bike???

[supercrouton]

If you build one alot depends on the condition of the donor bike: motor condition, missing pieces, as well as your level of finish. Also, the price will vary dending on what your venders hit you for on paint, powdercoating, media blasting, machine work verses doing it all yourself. I hope that helps. Cheers, Dan.

[supercrouton]

I build these bikes one at a time in my garage. Building another one is no problem. I do still keep in touch with the chap that bought this one from me, I can ask him if he wants to re-sell it if you want. PM me for more details. Cheers, Dan.

[virgiliorodriguezmac]

how hard would it be for a begginer build something similar to this, how much would it be in parts. thanx

[rcowboy4]

its not hard the most expensive part would be buying the bike itself, parts and add ons really arent that high since people have been bobbing these bikes for years. if you can get a running sound bike for around 3500 it wouldnt take but maybe another 2 grand to bob it and make it completely your own

[virgiliorodriguezmac]

thanx it sounds like good deal, cant wait to start.

[GraveShifterSkeeter]

thats a sweet trumpet. the whitewalls look sexxy on it.

[SpeedTriple59]

kool, clean lines nice touches,A+ my man..

[aek9535]

Wow. That is an awesome bike.

[HarleyLavaLamp]

wow, thats one sick bobber... love it bro. A+

[solna35]

love that bike

[TraeBuckner]

SWEET bike! I am currently working on finishing up a Triumph custom bobber build. It's a 71 T120 650 Bonnie motor in an old 1965? Triumph rigid frame. I just hooked up with a skinny springer front end and it TOTALLY makes the bike! I can't wait to get this bike finished and out on the road! Ride on Brother!

[dascallywhops]

WOW man, Thats just a tough looking bike, the white walls to the brass knuckle kick start. All around just great personality to it. Thats what its about right???? Your own style. Props on doing something diffrent. Hope theres more to come, Maybe ill get mine posted up, im doing a 78 yama xs 400 for the winter project. Well nice bike man keepem coming

[bill7920]

guiness caps!!!!! bubba this is rad!!!!!!

[bill7920]

i think i like old e better than the newer one damn bubba its too hard to tell

[DETPower]

[supercrouton]

Did you notice the bottle opener on the front side of the licence plate bracket? On both bikes actually? Cheers, Dan.

[jerseyrebel08210]
