Guzzirider Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 BFG If you are a fan of Bob, you may know that the BBC are showing several Dylan related programmes over the next few days: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/music/bobdylan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ratchethack Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 OK - is that a Daytona or a Bonneville? I b'lieve it's one or t'other...Enquiring minds just gotta know... Where's Martin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 From a Google search: July 29th, 1966 Bob Dylan crashes his Triumph 55 motorcycle while riding near Woodstock, New York. He is sent to Middletown Hospital with several broken neck vertebrae, a concussion and cuts on his face and scalp. Suffered mild amnesia, paralysis & internal injuries. He goes into 9 months of seclusion, to recover Rumor mill has him in a coma, a vegetable, never performing again, dodging the draft, passing on or losing his mind due to drug use But what the heck is a 55? I don't think it is the year. That looks like a mid sixties Bonnie. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 OK - is that a Daytona or a Bonneville? I b'lieve it's one or t'other...Enquiring minds just gotta know... Where's Martin? 61267[/snapback] That would be a 500 Daytona. It can be said that they were a sweet light little bike, quite good handling as a result, but were so gutless, they couldn't pull the skin off a custard. Most were good for only 75-80 mph topped out. Ciao, Steve G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotogoozer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Those are some great pics BFG! Can't sing... well, OK, but does surprisingly well for a guy who crushed his larynx in said crash... Can't argue his songwriting ability tho'!

dlaing Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Just to add to the confusion, of what bike it might be: http://www.edlis.org/twice/threads/motorcycle.html One discredited guy says Bonneville 650, but is corrected by a guy who says Tiger 500, but Joan Baez says it is a 350cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotogoozer Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I don't know what he crashed on, but if Steve says that's a Daytona then it's a Daytona. The boy knows his bikes!!! Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I don't know what he crashed on, but if Steve says that's a Daytona then it's a Daytona. The boy knows his bikes!!! 61276[/snapback] Triumphs of this age are worse than modern Guzzis to tell apart. Looks to have a single carb. Definatlely no bath tub, nachele, unit construction and single down tube. Post 64 and its not the TT Special. With the single carb varients I instictively say Tiger But when you look at the historic model names and what they are used for now the usages have totaly changed I defer to Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike wilson Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 From a Google search: July 29th, 1966 Bob Dylan crashes his Triumph 55 motorcycle while riding near Woodstock, New York. He is sent to Middletown Hospital with several broken neck vertebrae, a concussion and cuts on his face and scalp. The Triumph 350 was called a 55 (cubic inches) in America. It's a 3TA that he crashed. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
