Looks good, but it's just missing a couple of small details - 28 degrees centigrade, and a few decent sized dunes :P

I think this is a Speed Triple but I didn't get to speak to the owner:

The other Triumph uses a Tiger engine:

It was certainly one of the most interesting bikes there and road legal....

The owner explained that he'd used a three-cylinder engine from a Triumph Tiger that had been written off. The frame, tank and seat are Armstrong. Wheels and forks are Yamaha. He has a twin-disc option available for the front wheel. The 'silencer' is from a Manx Norton. Header pipes are a one-off design.

The standard Triumph radiator has been removed because the engine was being overcooled, it now runs with a much smaller unit.

The engine seems to be a neat fit in the Armstrong frame - the owner's obviously handy with a hacksaw and welding unit.
