Café racer


The Triumph Thruxton is an homage to the old café racers of the 70's. Riders would install rear-set foot pegs/controls and clip-on handlebars for a road-race seating position. They were just going out of style when I first got into riding as manufacturers were beginning to come out with more sport-oriented models right off the showroom floor. This bike reminds me of one of my favorite classics: the Norton Commando.
