Nothing overly grand here but since there aren't a lot of custom paint jobs out there I thought I'd share this find









Personally I don't care for it. The base color is workable but the added black is just lazy. Still, might be somebody's cup of tea, just not mine.

Oh, and here is the write-up

TRIUMPH THUNDERBIRD 1600ABS CUSTOM 1600cc, Manual 5 speed, 2011 11 Reg , Orange. We took a Thunderbird ABS and sent all the bodywork to Dream Machine and this was the result stunning ! We even had the rad cover and headlight cowl done. Then we fitted it with Triumphs own pullback T bars, chrome switchgear, chrome swinging arm covers and took a step back before saying WOW ! They say in life you get what you pay for and with this Thunderbird ABS we think the same applies ! Since the pictures were taken the bike has had its tank badges fitted.. £11,999 p/x welcome

That was strange. They were showing up for me so I checked another browser and they didn't show. Of course they have them in a popup gallery viewer and apparently have the content secured from outside linking. I must of been seeing them from my own cache. Anywho, i just downloaded them and stuck them in my gallery so folks could see them here.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll bet ya that part of the ad was automated on creation of the ad. MCN's web developers probably snagged some auto classifieds software plug-ins for their site and never bothered to customize it for bikes. Wankers.
