This bike is a 1956 Triumph Thunderbird 650 which has been in Dan Talbot's family for a very long time. During 2017 and 2018 Dan restored the machine, bringing it back to it’s former glory with a few (unseen) touches that add to reliability and rideability, including a BTH Components Ltd magneto and belt drive. Since finishing the restoration 12 months ago the motorcycle has won both hearts and trophies. There are more details about the Thunderbird and some of Dan other projects on his website https://motorshedcafe.com.au/

Wonderful to see - thanks for the great photos! My sole transport in the mid-60's was a 1955 Tiger 100. My heart is still with the Triumph brand!
The Motart is back!! :) (y) Ladislav
This is the vintage bike look and people can modify all the vintage stuff and looks so great more than this generation bikes. From now I'm looking for the take my accounting test to get some result in my exams.
Better than most, but not really a "restoration."
Not with a T110 front brake and "stickers" instead of real decals, as original.
