My journey through a 1968 Triumph Bonneville rebuild. From a basket case to cruising the mean streets of Chicago, and everything in between.

Cylinder and head
The motor is all closed up. We finally put the new cylinder jugs and pistons onto the main motor assembly. I had to machine the jugs to fit a oil bung but other than that it fit like a charm. We also ground the valve ring in the head and we are ready to reassemble the springs. I think it looks pretty good. Next up carburators.
I like to think of myself as Modern day renaissance man. I like to get my hands dirty. I am not shy of hard work and I love the feeling of accomplishing a job well done. In my life family is first. I work hard so we can play hard.
