JJ Burnel reveals his 40-year obsession with UK motorbike model
Throughout the episode, Burnel mentioned the plethora of bikes he has owned over the many years since passing his check. After ditching his “impractical” Harley-Davidson WLC, he started a love affair with Triumph as he defined.
“After the impracticalities of the WLC, as quickly as I had my first royalty cheque I bought a Triumph, I feel it was the T160, which was a Trident after which I bought a collection of Bonnevilles”, Burnel stated.
“Other than a five-year interval the place I bought a Sportster Harley, after they began getting a bit higher, I’ve caught to Triumph for 40-odd years.
“Now I’ve bought three Triumphs. I’ve bought a 1960 Trident which is a T120 in a featherbed body, then I’ve bought an RS Dash and it’s a brute of a machine, in 2004 they discontinued that specific mannequin. It’s 130 horsepower, bought no ABS, bought no traction management, it’s scary, however it’s nice!
“Then I bought a Thruxton R about six years in the past, which is a beautiful ‘torquey’ good sounding machine.”
