Rick's 1969 Triumph Bobber

.

When my friend Bill Beebe send me an email about Rick's Triumph i was just wondering how could be this new Bobber and i was just amazed by what i saw when Ryan Barr send me these great pics he shot in his friend's studio at Jeff Gogue Art.

Well my name is Rick Kerivan i am a surfer/skateboarder-punk rocker from Huntington beach ca. I moved to Oregon about 13 years ago to run one of my grandfather's vineyards. Now i hang with the ovm crew here in southern Oregon i love vintage bikes of all kinds but am partial to Triumphs, i built this bike and it has undergone a few makeovers before this one. This one is my favorite by far, i recently sold her and am now in the process of building a street tracker from a Triumph.

Now about the bike 1969 Triumph tr6r matching frame and motor, hard tail was crafted by Lucas at the Factory Metal Works, all powder coating was done by Richard at Creative Coatings, front wheel is a vintage spool hub laced to a sun rim and back is a stock Triumph hub with the same rim treatment, pre unit front end with mcm fork covers, wassell peanut tank, and wassell smooth rear fender, narrowed four aces handlebars, super cool paint was done by John Edwards, other key people were Chuck Logan (Triumph Wizzard), Joe Kerivan (for selling me the bike), Jeff Sterling (for his epic shop), Bill Beebe (for inspiration), and the whole Ovm Crew (riding brothers)
