Born loser's triumph

mike davis's triumph is featured in the current bigtwin (http://www.bigtwin.nl/) issue. this is a dutch bike magazine, most of their featuerd bikes are crap but sometimes they feature a cool old harley/triumph. one of the coolest triumph's I have ever seen. loving all the cool details, finned timing cover, cool seat, super slim front wheel, flander risers,beel fork covers......the article was done by maurice, the flying dutchman!

after 8 weeks gave my jawa some kicks today. fired up after the 4th kick. freakin awesome. my jawa is in a small shed in the backyard. no heating no nothing. I installed a electronic ignition, no battery needed and a stronger spark!! I only need to check my wiring (no lights...) and make some adjustments to put some miles on my first built.
