Hey guys,
Just wanted to introduce myself as I troll the boards trying to absorb as much info as I can. I just picked up a 1969 Fastback last week after searching for a while to find a bike for my dad. He always talked about getting one since his buddies in high school had one but instead he married my mom and BLAM....2 kids and 35 years later, I'm trying to make up for lost time before his ticket gets called.
I'm a full time artist so a custom paint job is just about all I know how to do myself, the rest will be a learning process as I try and get the bike ready for him and I to take on a ride up the coast of California when he comes out here is 6 months. Anyhow...this is where I am the day I got it home.....and my Triumph. Just wanted to say hello and thank you guys in advance for any advice, warnings, taunts, hazing, sarcasm and just plain good knowledge.
Along with the bike I got the stock pipes, stock bars and also the stock green fiberglass tank....not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but the bits give me options.
