Ultimate Hooligan Bike
August 26, 2008
Mike Dusold of Dusold Designs has been commissioned to build a bike using the Triumph Speed Triple platform. Mike's plans are similar in nature to what he did with the Rocket III that he built for The Discovery Channel's "The Metric Revolution".
The finished motorcycle will serve as a first class marketing tool for both Dusold Designs and Triumph Motorcycles. The "Triple" will be built to compete with the countries best builders at the Las Vegas Bikesfest's "Artistry In Iron", an invitation only bike build-off . After the Las Vegas Bikefest the bike will tour with Triumph and be on display at a variety of events around the country.

Assembly has started and when it is up on wheels we will update the pics.
