In the beginning of Feb. on my blog I did a little piece on Bob Tronolone (Bob T), and in that I mentioned he still owns the bike in that old Supercycle article, and keeps it in streetworthy condition. Well, today I received an Emal from Bob T, and he was kind enough to roll it out, and shoot a picture for me.
How many guys do you, the reader, know that are still riding and tricking out the same bike they bought going on 38 years ago?
Thanks Bob, I really appreciate that. What a truly gorgeous bike!

ReplyDeleteWhoa !
ReplyDeleteNice purpose built chop. love the rear mag and he 65A mufflers.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he sell it and buy it back?
I'm not sure, I was under the impression he's had it all along. Did you ask Keith Ball? He knows Bob T pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI know it was all red at one time......
I read it some years ago on Bikernet. The old memory is shot but believe Bob wrote a piece about the story of the bike and how glad he was to get it back.
ReplyDeleteIf I get a chance, I'll check his archives.
Did a Google search within Bikernet.com for Bob T. and the first story that came up was it. Title, Lifetime Motorcycle Returns. Seems he sold it after 30 years to a friend and 4 years later got it back.
ReplyDeleteSo he's "only" had it 34 out of 38 years.
happy st patricks day from a fan of your blog x
