I saw this a few months ago, just now was reminded of the photo. I'm not a bike guy, and if I was, it'd be more of the rocket type, but I like this bike.
Anyone know what make it is? Something makes me think Euro...

I can't tell you what kind of Triumph the engine came from, I'm no expert. But I'm fairly sure it's a triumph engine, and a 650cc from a bonneville would be my guess. But you've got me all distracted by mentioning a baby..
I think we should make a rule here on Oppo.. no talking about babys :P

Definitely a 650 Triumph. Probably a Bonneville engine.Totally custom. Nice old bike.

Eh, mine are cool... Aleyah (5) loves riding in the Seven, and Ayrton... (5mo) his name says it all. He was with us when we went to watch Rush... and every time she tried to turn him around, he'd throw a fit until he could watch the movie again.

Oh I don't doubt they are cool, it's just that I'm at that age were I want to have kids myself, but can't due to the fact that you kinda need more than one person to make kids :P
