1966 Triumph Bonneville

T120RDU37961

Clear

Shown here is a 1966 Bonneville completely and accurately restored by Keith Martin, nationally-known Triumph expert and owner of Big D Cycle in Dallas. This was my first purchase of a classic cycle acquired for display in my full service truckstop facilities. I bought it in 2005 with the odometer showing this same 37 miles as when acquired upon restoration. I never heard this bike run, but Keith said he ran it to be sure everything was in perfect working order. Per my intentions for displaying this bike Keith prepped it by draining the gas tank and crankcase, sprayed both with mineral oil and then also removed the battery as I had commissioned this bike specifically for display. Because this bike has been on display for over 10 years now, there are very small scuffs in the paint (like micro-scratches, easier seen under florescent lighting) and other light wear due to people fondling it from beyond the velvet theater barrier ropes I had added to keep customers at arm's length. Sadly, the gas cap was stolen about 3 months ago, but should hopefully be easy to replace. This bike shouldn't take much to bring it back, but please understand that it has been dry dusted by housekeeping and occasionally fondled by fantasizing customers. There are probably dust bunnies under the seat. Also, I have the tool kit and will include this with any sale or trade. The tires also have slow leaks and we have to periodically add air. I can't even guess at how many people have simply stopped to admire this bike, taken pics with their smart phones or remembered ours as that cool restaurant with 'those motorcycles'. This comes with a clear Texas title and I will consider trades up or down, even including other bikes I have listed on Ebay (see my collection of three Triumphs in Denton, Texas being sold as a low reserve set; also, a 1967 and 1968 at this same location). Trades I will consider are for a good, working Airstream Travel Trailer, solid 3/4 ton diesel work truck or anything of interest. Thanks for looking.

It appears as T120RDU26661, which is consistent with my original bill of sale, but not the title and something I never paid any attention to. The title Texas title shows the same VIN as in my original text above, which must mean this was put together from different bikes. Fortunately, I didn't advertise this as numbers matching, but did say it is 'correct' and simply want to be clear about what is being offered for sale here. I'm not a motorcycle guy, just that I enjoy the beauty of these bikes and they've served my purpose for display. Thanks for understanding, I just want to be straight with everyone.
