FAST EDDIE'S TRIUMPH

Every now and then the Blog will be running a motorcycle that we’ve spotted and really liked, and kicking this occasional series off is this little 1960 Triumph T120, spotted by roving reporter, Jack Blurbness, at the Hemsby Rock & Roll Weekend in May.

‘Fast Eddie’ Robson has owned the 650cc Trumpet for something over 18 months, although he only really got round to riding it at the beginning of the year. Originally from ‘somewhere up North’, it belonged to Fast Eddie’s mate, Andy. But Eddie had fallen in love with the bike, and persuaded him not to sell it to anyone else. Andy was true to his word and turned away a cash buyer while Eddie was selling his Intruder to raise the money (and, as he's a doorman at rock 'n' roll events all over the country, the Triumph is far more in keeping with his image than the Suzuki!)

So far, Eddie has done nothing to change the bike, although he says he will one day … probably. Then again, if it was yours, would you want to change a thing about it? Except, possibly, those red grips…
