Ralph's Trumpet
When I was living in the UK I knew a freak called Ralph who rode a yellow Triumph with a sharks mouth on the tank.
I thought of him when I was putting this together.
It's a 1/25 Revell Parts Pack Triumph Twin. I think it's meant to represent a mildly customised 50's bike. Possibly a Tiger 100.
The yellow is Holden Absinthe Yellow. The sharks mouth & eyes are texter.
The headlight is an appleton from my parts box but apart from that, the filler cap and the plug wires it's box stock.

Looks cool Fred , for some reason I have a mental image of Ralph riding this in an old leather pilots helmet and goggles and a motheaten leather jacket with a cigar hanging from his mouth ....

Re: Ralph's Trumpet
Thanks folks.
Ian - plain black open face crash helmet, flying goggles and unlit joint were the reality...

Re: Ralph's Trumpet
Admit it Fred - you're really the "freak" aren't you? This was your bike back in the old days of thunder and wild youth. I don't blame you - I rode a Triumph Bonneville for a while before I realised it wasn't suitable to take a girl to the drive-in theatre, so sold it for a car with reclining seats.
BTW a beautiful build!
