Update: Just got a note from an ADV rider poster who wrote in.
Loadedagain of advrider here... I see you've got Tom Mellors silver bullet posted today. Just an FYI... He's got a 1000cc engine in it now. it ran in 2010 as a 1000cc bike....Ii was at his place a couple weekends ago... the crazy dude is going for 200mph in 2011! My bet is he'll make it.
Cheers, Colin
I bet he does too. Thanks Colin!

I lifted this verbatim off of an ADV rider thread. Just too cool
750MPS-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel [gas], partially streamlined — the front wheel must be visible for 180 degrees below the axle), 180.317mph
750MP-PG class (750cc Modified Production pushrod, pump fuel, with no bodywork, but with the rear fairing left on since it counts as being the seat), 159.905mph
Unbelievable numbers for a pushrod 750 on gasoline (remember Bonneville is a little over 4,300' in elevation). Tom put a lot of people on the trailer with those numbers. Gorgeous bike!

Reader Ride. A Triumph Scrambler In It's "Native" Environment
If I had half a brain I'd go buy one of these and never look back. Nice to see one being used correctly!
Thanks to Jamie LaMent for this beauty!

Seriously Upgraded Triumph Thruxton
I wonder what Triumph would have to charge for an Ohlins/Brembo/Marchesini equipped Thruxton? Cause I'm pretty sure I'd want one!

Reader Ride. Another excellent Triumph Scrambler.
The pictures are a little on the small side but it's too nice not to post. I'm guessing from the message that came with the pictures that the bike is Italian. :)

Gobsmacking Triumph Scrambler.
Update: I just noticed that it's a converted Thruxton! Awesome! A scrambler with the higher horsepower engine. Thank you to Steve Ginn. From his excellent gallery.

Finally. The New Triumph Tiger 800 XC.
Taking square aim at the BMW F800. If the price is right it should do very well indeed. This is the dirt version (obviously). A street version with 17's is on the way also.

Reader Ride! Triumph Trophy 250 from Portland, OR
UPDATE: Contact info is: Andrew Wilson
I'll leave it up for a week or so.
Andrew Writes in:
Hello Steve,
I don't do a lot of "for sale" post but this is one of my favorites. Wish I could buy it myself.

Hello Steve,
Just wanted to share some pictures of what was my daily rider this season. It is a back to bone stock 1970 Triumph Trophy 250. Matching numbers with the original paint on the tank. It is actually for sale if you could maybe post it to try to help me out. The wife and I are relocating cross country soon and she said I have to pick one motorcycle to go... darn.
Great site!
Thanks
Andrew

Reaader Ride with "Bonus Triumph Pics.
Aaron sent me a nice silhouette shot of his stable the other day along with a link to his flickr stream. While perusing his photos I stumbled across this stunner of a custom Triumph Scrambler. WOW! Aaron I hope you don't mind (and if you do I'll pull them immediately) but I'm a huge Triumph fan and couldn't pass these up.
By the way your original submital is excellent and included below. I'd love to see more angles of the Duck and especially Beemer.
Thanks Very Much
Aarons original note:
Hey!
I got a bit inspired on Sunday and had some fun with my DSLR and Photoshop; I ended up with what I think is a very good photo of my two bikes ('75 BMW R75/6 and '06 Ducati Multistrada 1000s) that you and your readers might like. The original is attached, and other sizes are at my flicker acct (under a Creative Commons license, so feel free to use what you like), here:
Cheers!

Here's the shanghaied Triumph...
And the original submittable. Excellent Shot!

Then...
And Now..
Really excellent shots Chris. Thanks Much!
