  • Painting and pin-striping, are two of the dark arts of motorcycle restoration, and two things that poor old Toad has absolutely no experience with.
    To see if he was up to the task of painting a new fuel tank, he popped along to the Triumph factory in Hinckley, to basically hold up the production line for the day!

    In my opinion, Triumph are the number one manufacturer of motorcycles today, would love to see them do a v4 but i can't have everything

      Not sure what you mean? This was a chance to show off the new paint techniques that go into painting the new Stealth model Triumphs, and a chance to see how bad I am at painting...

    I'd love to see more bike companies create more beautiful metallic paint colours and even more brighter colours both on the tank, fairing, forks, bars and more importantly wheels to make bikes stand out to other road users. We've seen KTM, Suzuki etc make some brighter colours, but I'd love to see more. That also includes full motorbike clothing brands in more colourful and exciting designs than just black. I shouldn't have to wear a high visibility vest in this day and age.

    My Triumph Thunderbird's tank was painted there back in '95. The sticker underneath the tank has the name 'Steve R'. Beautiful, deep colours that have lasted.
