One Beast of a Trail bike!

This is the Triumph Metisse one hell of a fastbike on the dirt and was used mainly for trail riding in wales it would blast though the peat bogs where as the XL and the DTs would have to slowly go around the long way.
The camper van was ours to and is still around today the Triumph was sold many years ago to a guy way up North.

Smashing bike, One of Don & Derek's. Pat French has been building them for some time now. Just the job for Red Marley....
I have a Tiger 90 bottom end with Tiger 100 barrels that I intend to slot into a lightweight frame in about a hundred years when iv'e finished all my other projects.

Love VW campers but I find the shrink as you get older.

Hi XS1100

I wouldnt want you to think all my bikes are specials / hybrids but I had a T150 in a race frame and loved it. I prefer the 150 to the 160 as they are much lighter.
