Triumph Bonneville Trackmaster

This is Cycle World magazines boss David Edwards’ custom British Racing Green Triumph Bonneville 750, it is based on a nickel-plated Trackmaster flat-track frame, and bristling with drilled alloy and carbon-fiber bits.

“CW did a story on the bike in 1995 after it won the Street Specials class at the old Del Mar Concours,” says Edwards. “Some years later when it come up for sale, I couldn’t say no. To my eyes, it’s a practically perfect special, plus the build quality is second-to-none.”

Credit for that goes to builder Danny Erikson, a Southern California aircraft technician with experience in composites—hence the tightly woven carbon-fiber fenders, taillight, sidepanels and gas-tank inserts, left bare except for a layer of clearcoat.

There’s lots more to look at, including Barnes dirt-track brake rotors, a front-mounted ARD magneto, a leather seat done by American drag race hero Tony Nancy (a world-class upholsterer in his spare time) and a zoomy pair of chromed exhausts with nary a baffle to their name.
