Featured Builds: Barn Finds - 1967 Triumph
What is the Barn Finds Series
We have decided to dedicate a section to those awesome unreal barn finds. By definition a barn find is classic motorcycle that has been 'discovered', often in rough shape. The term comes from the tendency that the bike is usually found in places such as barns, sheds, the back of your weird uncle's garage and outbuildings where they have collected dust (unless covered) for many years. Sometimes a barn find can snag a sweet return!
So this blog series in 'Featured Builds' will be dedicated to those oh so sweet and beautiful barn finds! Our first barn find comes from our friend Todd! The story of this classic barn find from Todd was a simple one but gave him a rather unique find!
Fig 1. How Todd's find looked when he first got itAn old friend of his knew it had been sitting for years! The original owner, unfortunately passed away, left it to their family. When Todd's friend asked the family if they be okay to pass it along to Todd, they were thrilled to see it taken by someone as passionate about restoring it and giving it new life!

For those who don't know, it is a 1967 Triumph Tiger with a 650 CC Single Carb engine. We can't wait to see it back on the road and look forward to seeing what the finished project looks like! Thanks Todd for sending in the pictures! Enjoy the ride!
