Triton<\/a> would be more than enough of our prayers answered, but Pete decided to do just that little bit extra. Well, 100% extra to be precise. He’s not only got himself one of the world’s sweetest caf\u00e9\u00a0racers, but he’s gone an added an extra damn engine<\/em> to it.<\/p>\nThe 1298cc Tri2ton has blitzed the British show scene, taking out this year’s Classic Bike magazine’s Bike of the Year award amongst strong competition and also managed to win out over a Falcon creation in another. I was sort of shocked to realise that it hadn’t already done the round of the bike blogs – so read up & enjoy.<\/p>\n
Pete had had the idea of a twin-engined Triton banging around inside his skull bone for 40 years before he took the plunge in 2009, spurred on by a mate who found the extended frame and was planning to on-sell. In a classic “you only live once” moment, he bit the bullet and decided to go for it – something I think more of us need to do once or twice in our lives. And go for it he obviously<\/em> did. How’d you like to able to stand next to this little beauty and call it your own?<\/p>\n
