pany, Bettman’s name was more famous as an importer of bicycles and sewing machines from Germany.

In 1886, Siegfried Bettman, an immigrant from Germany, noticed a very promising potential of bicycle sales in the UK. Therefore, he founded and introduced Triumph Cycles Company later on. Before becoming Triumph Cycles Com-

Schulte then convinced Bettman to establish Triumph as a manufacturer company, and then in 1888, using funds loaned by the Schulte family, Bettman purchased a site in Coventry.

In 1889 the plant started to produce paddled

A year later, the new company was then registered under the name of New Triumph Co. Ltd with Dunlop tire factory as its major funder. At that time also, one other German immigrant named Moritz Schulte joined Triumph as a partner.

bicycle under the brand “Triumph”.

that were designed by Triumph’s designer.

Beginning in 1898, Triumph had also launched a plan to manufacture motorcycles, but it could not be implemented until the year of 1902.

Triumph’s primary motorcycle model was paddled bike that was mounted with a Minerva’s engine, made in Belgian.

In 1907, Triumph was reaching the top of their glory days, with the number of production reached 1,000 units, also adding entrylevel bike variant, named ‘Gloria’. Because there were two manufacturing facilities, their consumers were confused to identify which models were made in Coventry and which one delivered from Nuremberg.

Having managed to sell about 500 units in 1903, Triumph also began producing bikes with similar model in Nuremberg, Germany. At that time, the Triumph designs were following the examples from other manufacturer’s models.

The design was not too complicated indeed, not too far away from a paddled bike attached to a gasoline engine. Eventually in 1904, Triumph began producing bikes with their own models

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 08

To solve the problem, Triumph used the brand “Orial” for exported products. Unfortunately, Orial had been patented by one of the French manufacturer, so the finished products from Nuremberg were called “TWN” (Triumph Werke Nürnberg).

to take over Hillman car factory’s ownership that went bankrupt that day, and began producing sedans in 1923 under the banner of the Triumph Motor Company.

In mid-1920s era, Triumph became one of the major motorcycles and cars manufacturers in the United Kingdom, and was capable of producing 30,000 units of motorcycles and also cars with approximately the same number. Not only that, the paddled bicycle was also getting excessive orders from outside the UK, mainly from the USA which then eventually produced there under the license from the company.

The year of 1929 was the year of the world economic crisis, Europe and America in particular. Triumph was forced to sell most of its German company to Adler, which eventually became Triumph-Adler in Germany. Nevertheless, TWN was remaining in operation, producing labeled TWN motorbikes until 1957. Financial difficulties had made Triumph forced to sell the rest of the holdings to Raleigh Bicycle Company, and Bettmen was forced to resign from his position as chairman in 1933.

War was good for business, and Triumph had embraced many advantages when World War I broke out in Europe.

More than 3,000 units were ordered and produced for the needs of the Alliance forces against Germany, one of the famous models that time was H Roadster, which was also known as “Trusty Triumph” after their reliability, because they were rarely damaged.

After the war had ended, Bettman and his partner Schulte were facing disagreements with each other with the product development plans, as Schulte wanted to replace the motorcycles with cars. Schulte was then withdrawing from the ownership of Triumph, but in the era of the 1920s, Triumph managed

Yes, Triumph was experiencing great difficulty in this era, and finally had to declare bankruptcy in 1939. The Standard Motor Company then purchased Triumph. The sale of motorcycles were more promising than cars, especially since the company was purchased and operated by Jack Sangster, who was also well-known as the owner of Ariel Motorcycle Company.

In the hands of Sangster, Triumph had produced famous models like the Triumph Speed Twin 500cc 5T, which was introduced in 1937 and became the platform all Triumph models until the 1980s. In addition to the Speed Twin, in this era they also produced a model of Triumph Tiger T100 in 1939 that was capable of reaching a top speed of 160 km/h.

Different from their glory days in World War

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 09

I, Triumph had suffered a total loss when Germany bombed their factory in Coventry.

The era after World War II turned into a golden age with the presence of Triumph GP model, which was nothing else than a modified model from Tiger type, that were sold cheap as war surplus. In 1950, GP surplus supplies began to run out, but the market demand highly increased, especially from the USA, created the need for Triumph to remake the casting of Tiger chassis.

In order to satisfy USA’s market that requested them with other motorcycle type with a higher touring power, Triumph presented a modified version of the Speed Twin and called it “Thunderbird”, which was equipped with a 650cc engine. Thunderbird also had a twin who had triumphed in the racing arena, named “Wonderbird”. Wait, actually how did Americans get to recognize the brand Triumph?

Marlon Brando helped boost the popularity of Triumph by riding Thunderbird 6T type in the movie ‘The Wild One’ in 1953.

In 1959, Triumph returned to modify the Tiger T110 model by mounting dual carburetors to the bike, and named it “Bonneville”. This model was named after the salt lake that was often used for land speed record, which was also inspire Harley Davidson for creating American version of Bonneville, which became widely known as the “Sportster”.

Both in America and in the UK, or Europe in general, Triumph brand had experienced its glory days, became the main ride of the famous motorcycle racers from as Malcolm Uphill, to the actor Steve McQueen in the 1960s until the 1970s era. Famous models like the Bonneville, Thruxton, and Thunderbird had also become an ace card bike of the Café Racer and England Rockers to do racing duel from café to café before a song that was played on the jukebox finished. Oh yeah, in this era, Triumph also tried to produce scooter under the name of Triumph Tina, which was equipped with 2-stroke 100cc engine, and Triumph Tigres Cup which was equipped with a 175cc 4 stroke engine.

the leadership of Bloor, Triumph launched the classic models like the Bonneville. Not because of the nostalgia, it was because Triumph needs Bonneville to compete with the Japanese produced bikes.

In 1983, Triumph Enginering came back to declare bankruptcy. John Bloor, a British conglomerate was the only person who dared to buy the holding and re-set up the Triumph Motorcycle Ltd. Under

For nearly 20 years, Triumph under Bloor’s leadership continues to grow, created some prototype models, which then became a production version. In March 2002,

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 10

when the company was preparing to celebrate their 100 years anniversary, the disaster occurred again, the main manufacturing facility was caught on fire, but it was not an obstacle for Bloor and Triumph. In September of the same year, they were back in production.

In May 2002, Triumph began the construction of a new production facility in Chonburi, Thailand to penetrate the Asian market and to produce spare parts. From these production facilities, Triumph could increase their production by

130,000 units per year.

In 2014, Triumph Motorcycle Ltd. expanded their wings to Indonesia. Through PT. Outlets Motor Integrated (GMT) as an authorized dealer, Triumph classic products also delivered the latest, from Bonneville, Rocket III, Tiger, Scrambler to Daytona to meet all the needs of Indonesian consumers. Hopefully, in this modern era Triumph could fight back into their golden age, and no longer slumped as 2 era before.

The Existence of British Bikes in Indonesia T he sustainability of England-made motorcycle in Indonesia could never be separated from the owners who kept these vintage bikes as collector’s items.

The bikes included are those from Norton, BSA, Royal Enfield, BMW, Triumph, AJS, Harley-Davidson and many other English brands. Beside that, the establishment of various community and club as a gathering place for owners of vintage bikes in several cities is also majorly contributed in raising the prestige of these bikes.

For example, around year 1979 in Bandung, the vintage motorcycle connoisseurs were starting to establish a special club for owners of antique bikes. In this city, which famously called as “City of Flowers”, there is also the largest motorcycle club called Bikers Brotherhood MC that was established in 1988. At that time, its members consisted of youngsters who loved to preserve European-made and American-made vintage bikes, for both of their original and customized forms.

Meanwhile in Surabaya, a community of antique bikes enthusiasts who called themselves as Penggemar Montor Udhug Indonesia Soerabaya (PEMUDIS) was established in 1982. Some various vintage bikes communities became a starting point of the establishment of Motor Antique Club Indonesia (MACI) at the exhibition of antique motorcycles event in Semarang, 1993.

The event was held as a moment for attending

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 12

antique bikes enthusiast to unite and established set up an organization, which objective is to help gathering antique motorcycle fans throughout all areas in Indonesia, and by then MACI Indonesia was formed. On October 1st, 1994, they held their first Jamboree, which now becomes a continuous annual program. MACI has approximately 50 branches in Indonesia.

In Bali, vintage motorcycle enthusiasts are gathered in Himpunan Motor Tua Bali (Association of Bali Antique Motorcycles), whose members are living throughout the island. On Octoberlast year, this antique bike fans community had just celebrated its 25th anniversary, which took place in Merta Sari Beach, Sanur, Bali Island.

“In the past, most people rode old bikes, and one of the reasons is because they could not afford new bikes like those that were made in Japan, but at the moment, vintage bike’s price resembles those of luxury items,” as Mas Juned, former chairman of MACI Jakarta Raya who had served for consecutively three stewardships, explained.

To the collector, the existence of these vintage bikes does not only fulfill their personal satisfaction. Collecting various types of rare bikes also means the high investment value. That is why European or American vintage bikes’ price is going to continue increasing because of the limited number of the bikes.

Especially in the Siantar, North Sumatra, a lot of England-made bikes switch their function as a mode of transportation called “Betor� (motorized rickshaw) because their ability to carry a much heavier load. Relying on 350 CC to 500

CC engine capacities, Birmingham Small Arm (BSA) is one type of motorcycles made in England that is widely used. Other bikes like Norton, Triumph, AJS, Ariel, and also other types of which the average age of the bike had reached approximately 60 years, are also used.

f you are a hardcore fan of antique Triumph bikes, you must have known the Kadek Astina, who is not only a builder and a mechanical, but also the owner of Moonstone Garage. His workshop, which is located at Jl. Batubulan, Bali is oftenly recognized as the mainstay reference to the antique Triumph bike owners for the their bikes restoration.

His customers is not only coming from around the Bali Island, but also from different regions of Indonesia. “Most of our Jakarta customers have their bikes shipped to our workshop for the restoration, and some of them only ship the machine,” as the mechanic who has the touring hobby explained.

Kadek encountered these England-made bikes when he was buying a BSA BB31 bike which was produced in 1956 with a capacity of 350cc.

The bike that commonly called Plastic BSA, which was purchased in 1993, was used for his daily activities when he was a student at one of the university in Malang.

Owning BSA 56 was a starting point for Kadek to learn and know more fellow antique bikes lovers, also hanging out with fans and vintage

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 16

bikes community in Bali. “In 1994, I joined the Himpunan Motor Tua club, which was one of the gathering places for owners and fans of vintage motorcycle in Bali,” he continued.

To Kadek, when you were owning Englandmade bikes that time, you must have been able to handle its own engine, so he often hung out in his friend’s workshop, learning to fix the bike’s machine. “From there I also began to understand the character of the English bike engine, not only BSA alone,” he added, as it was still difficult that year to find spare part for the bikes so he must find an alternative from other vehicle parts as the substitutes..

He was very infatuated with vintage bikes when he started riding various bikes, ranging from 900 Sporster output in 1968, then he sold BSA 56 and replaced it with the BSA A10 650cc with the model of two-cylinders inline engine.

From the bike he purchased, he eventually learnt and understood the character of the engine, until he could fix the bikes himself.

In his journey in the world of antique bikes, Astina Kaded also had met the boredom being a bike fan. Eventually he decided to left Bali to have experience of working abroad. “I lived

abroad and worked there, but then I felt homesick because I missed riding my motorbikes back home. Finally in 2007, I decided to return home to Bali, “ he recalled.

Thus, Kadek restarted to struggle again with vintage motorcycles, which has been his main passion for a long time. Then in 2008, he decided to open up a workshop at Moonstone Garage, which offers service for vintage bikes customization and restoration. Gradually, his workshop started managed professionally. “At first, some friends asked for the restoration for the part of their bikes, as the time went by, other customers who were also vintage motorcycle owners came and requested restoration and customization for their bikes,” continued this friendly man.

Well, his closeness with Triumph bikes began when he start riding Triumph Tropy 750cc, when he was seriously manage his workshop in 2008. He did not know was it chemistry or other thing that made him thinking that he is most comfortable with this kind of bike. The engine capacity is large enough, while the handling is still agile and lightweight along the ride.

“Once there was a riding invitation came from American-made bikes with larger capacity, and

my bike’s strength was still able to compensate for those bikes,” said Kadek explaining what finally made him fall in love with Triumph.

This bike had also made Kadek became famous as the ‘handler’ of Triumph in the eyes of the people of the communities of vintage bikes fans. From various jamboree events or community gathering of vintage bikes in Java Island, Kadek participated and has been riding his Triumph from Bali.

Kadek added that the current vintage bikes restoration is much easier compared to 5 years ago, because it was very difficult to find the spareparts for the bikes. Back then he was trying to solve the problem with subtituting those parts with parts from other vehicles, which resulted the performance declination of the vintage bikes to be less than the maximum.

“At the moment, the internet can be accessed anywhere so we can order spareparts from different countries,” he explained.

To order the spareparts for Triumph, he claimed to have some partners in the United States and Australia, which products are quite complete. At the end, the quality and engine performance he had restored could be really optimal because it uses the real and innate parts for motorbikes.

The first time Tommy Dwi Djatmiko fell in love with vintage bikes is when he had a willing to join the Bikers Brotherhood Bandung (BB) club 22 years ago. Well, one of the requirements to join BB club was that he must had at least one vintage bike, as the bike mostly made by European or American companies

T

ommy Dwi Djatmiko’s fondness for vintage bikes finally reconciled himself to one of the British bike, Triumph. A lot of stories and experiences happened along with his life. It seems like English motorbikes can not be separated from his life. It seems like it always to comes, goes, and returns.

The first time Tommy Dwi Djatmiko fell in love with vintage bikes is when he had a willing to join the Bikers Brotherhood Bandung (BB) club 22 years ago. Well, one of the requirements to join BB club was that he must had at least one vintage bike, as the bike mostly made

by European or American companies.

Eventually in 1993, he bought a 125cc bikecycle alerts Sparta 1952 with his own savings. The bike was made in Holland and was purchased at Rp. 325.000. “At that time I was still in high school and I used this bike for my daily activities, although a lot of my peers sneered at me when I use the older bike, as most of the time kids my age rode newer bikes,” explained this man, whose nickname is Mastom.

By riding Sparta bike, in due course Mastom began to explore the vintage bikes, particularly European bikes.

He started to look and search for various informations about classic motorbikes, and his mainstay are seconhand magazine stalls around each corner of Bandung.

In reviewing the profile and learning more about the vintage bikes, imported classic bike magazines are his main target.

“From the contents of those magazines I often read reviews about various types of Triumph bikes produced, then I fell in love and wanted to have one of the variants of Triumph bikes,” Mastom continued.

Finally, he was offered a Triumph Tiger Cub 1956, with its engine capacity of 250cc, and it was welcomed. Nevertheless, the condition of the bike was not completed, as some parts were incomplete and the condition of the machine is quite bad. Mastom then sold his Sparta for Rp. 725.000 to redeem the Tiger Cub bike at of Rp. 600.000.

To began with, he was actually very excited about his

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 19

dream bike, but then after the time goes by he started to sulk because the bike could not be ridden yet. “The plan was that I wanted to fix the engine, but the rest of the money from selling Sparta did not compensate to buy the new machines. It didn’t have to wait for a year for me to make a decision to sell that bike again, “ as he recalled the year of 1994.

Afterwards, Mastom began to hunt various European small bikes, such as Ducati 98 scooter motobi, and eventually he got CB 200 1976, purchased in 1997. He also briefly had a Yamaha XS which was produced in 1972, that he bought in 2011. Despite the occurence of turning his head to Japanese bikes, but his fondness to Triumph bikes had never faded.

Mastom’s great interest in Triumph bikes eventually was then supported by his elder sibling, as he was presented with the Triumph manual book. “In 2003 and 2010 I was given some books from Japan, even though I had no bike at that moment. This books then became my signal and motivation to get a Triumph bike, “continued the man who would rather called an Automotive Art Worker as his profession.

Then he eventually was offered again with Triumph Tiger Cub that was made in 1952, but with the condition that he must helped to find information about BMW R50 bikes to be bought. He did not happened to obtain BMW R50 , but actually managed to get motoguzzi 650 cc V65 Lario made in 1984, even with completed premises for the bike. “Finally I got the completed Triumph Tiger Cub 1952 with original conditions with friendly price,” he explained.

Because he mostly spent his time to handle his customers’ bikes, this bike was only used as a display in his store at that moment, Mary Jane Therapy, which is located at Jl. Kemang Selatan VIII No. 67B, South Jakarta.

Because it was used as a display for a long time, then some of his customers checked his Tiger Cub 1952 out, until then he was willing to sell that, which that later exchanged with British bike which capacity is greater, Norton ES2 made in 1954. “I did not know why

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 20

it feels like, I did not get the chemistry with this bike, after being stored for 2 years I finally sold it and returned to Triumph,” as he continued.

Around the year of 2013 Mastom tried to find information to get Triumph bike, as his trademark and flagship. Apparently, there was a news that one Semarang bikers wanted to sold Triumph T100R Daytona 500 cc produced in 1967. “At that time, I asked my elder brother to check the bike, then I saw the videotape recorded by the seller himself, it turns out that the bike was still intact and the engine is good.” Without thinking much, Tommy immediately redeem this bike, which was worth USD 90 million.

Mastom himself admitted that he is still curious about his Tiger Cub made in 1956 which he had once owned. At the moment he is planning to

get the bike back, to erase his disappointment about the occurences that happened when he was owning a Triumph bike for the first time.

Because of his great passion towards Triumph bikes got to be known widely, various matters related to the British bike was flowing to him.

He then was entrusted to restore Triumph T100A, his fellow biker friend, Aryadi Purnomo to be used as display in his wedding day.

“Because the time is so short, the operation was done in just 3 weeks,” explained Mastom.

Then in 2011 he was asked to assist the creation of Dji Sam Soe ad, that rely on Bonnev-

ille T100 bike, at which the tank section was carved. “In addition of handling the progress of restoration of the bike, I was also directing them to buy the bike which was then brought by the general importer,” he says.

Thus, the memories that could never be forgotten is at the launching event of Triumph Motorcycle Indonesia, which was held at Senayan City in 2014. He was truted to be driving a Triumph Truxton 900 at the product introduction session. “I was wearing a T shirt I Ride my 1967 Triumph T100R Everyday,” as he concluded.

leeveless leather jacket he has been wearing frequently at riding event became his trademark when riding cafe racer motorbikes. Yes, M Gaddafi Mukrom, his full name, is a silver haired man whose name is widely known around the two-wheeled communities.

Including the successful establishment of the Honda CBR community, he had also been one of the initiators of the Mods vs Rockers event. Duffy, his nickname, told us more about his life’s journey with the motorbikes to Gastank Digital Magazine.

GSTK: Could you tell us what kind of bike did you use when you were learning to ride a motorbike for the first time ...?

Duffy Even after all this time, I can not forget it. The first time I learnt to ride a with a Vespa Super 70s, which was belonged to a friend, when I was in 6th grade. The character of Vespa is not that high and the gear was at my hand, so it was easy to control, encouraged me to try it.

GSTK: What kind of bike did you own for the first time ...?

Duffy When I was learning in middle school, it was very popular for kids my age to ride newly released bikes, because it made you the cool kids on the blocks. Eventually my par-

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 23

ents finally bought me Honda Supercub 700.

GSTK: What kind of bike is your favorite...?

Duffy From the very beginning, I really like adrenaline-stimulating speed, so when I was in college I used to ride sport bikes. I could had almost the entire series of Honda NSR, from local NSR 150R, NSR 150 RR, to NSR 150 SP, and the last two are built up products. I also join one of the Honda NSR communities, but just to hang out with the other members.

GSTK: You had pulled yourself up from world of motorbikes because of your business once, when did you come back to ride again...?

Duffy It was around 2006. I whimsically bought a built up Honda CBR 150 to eliminate fatigue, but that time there was not that much of riders of that kind of bike, so I was thinking to form a community, so we could be riding together and sharing biking experiences.

Since then I began to actively build CBR Rider Club, which was established in 2006 when the members were still 8 persons. Eventually this community has its chapters in many cities in Indonesia. Finally, Honda CBR Association were established which members are spreadt in 37 cities, from Papua to Aceh.

GSTK: When did you start the hobby to customize your motorbikes ..?

Duffy Probably as the time goes on I was bored with the mass produced bikes. So around 2009 I began to love custom motorbikes. Because I love high speed, custom style that fits me is the cafe racer.

My first custom bike is Honda CB 400 Super Four, then followed by Honda CX 650, Honda CB 750, and the entire BMR R70 Boxer, which was customized with cafe racer style also.

GSTK: When did you start to engage in the Rider Of Triumph (RAT) Community?

I was also one of the founders of RAT community, and also I was appointed by the other bikers to be the chairman. Currently Triumph population is still small, but it is growing continuously. I hope RAT community will develop

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 24

steadily as my experience to form Honda CBR Club from scratch.

I also hope that we could arrange our own events, like the Triumph Tridays event, which is an annual event for Triumph motorbikes owners that took place in the town of Neukirchen, one of the districts in Austria.

It could happen begin by inviting owners of Triumph from the nearest neighbour countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, The Philippines, and many more. Hopefully it can be reached as soon as possible ...!

or Chandra P Murti, his bike, Triumph TR6 that was made in 1972 have two functions. Not only as his ace of spades for riding and hanging out with his friends ad fellow bikers, but also to be displayed at his booth, Pickers Store at Jl. Pelajar Pejuang ‘45 no. 100 Bandung when it is not being used in his journeys.

That was a reason behind in his bike hunting session back then, Chandra wanted to own a bike that is always high in demand, and the option is to rely to the British motorcycle, from Triumph variants. “At first I got an information from a friend that his neighbor had a vintage bike he wanted to sold, but he did not know what was the type and brand of the bike. I just got interested and decide to take a look, and I found a Triumph TR6, stacked with cardboard and gallons of mineral water because it was parked inside the storage room,” as Chandra, the initiator of the BBQ Ride event continued.

Although it looked like that it was barely treated well at the first place, the condition of the bike is still intact and complete, only because the owner of this vintage bike had not turned it on for a long time. Thus he locked the bike as the target directly, and then after a rather long process of negotiation, eventually it resulted in a deal and the bike was just directly brought home.

Because he was very curious and willing to start the engine up, after arriving in the showroom he was directly charging the motorcycle battery and filled the gas up. After one and two cranking effort, Chandra got excited because the engine was functioning. “But then because I intended to bring the motorbike along with me in a far riding journey, the

GASTANK MAGAZINE 41 07

engine was changed and fixed by Rustoration workshop for all of the restoration process,” Chandra explained.

After the engine was done, the bike then was brought to the Retrogrades Slaughter House workshop in Arcamanik, Bandung, West Java, because the customization itself is not too extreme, it was just a few sections in the body area that was mounted with fender type handlebars. The rest still relied on the default parts of the bike.

“For the outer appearance for this bike, it was intended to look like 70’s vintage that was fusioned with Japanese style. The main style characteristics are mounting the higher handlebars, then the change of the fender areas because it was made simpler intentionally, and the application of clamp model rearview mirror and racer seat,” as the friendly man who also installed headlamp and stop lamp from aftermarket products, explained.

Pursuing a classic look of front tire, Avon Speedmaster with flowery stripes was used, while for the rear tire Avon Safety Mileage MKII was used.

Once the bike was finished, Chandra immediately brought his rides away to attend two events in Jogja, called Jogja Bike Rendezvous and Antique Djogja in last August. “Alhamdullilah (Thank God), it was a good journey, even when I was about to leave the ignition had lagged a little bit, but I was able to overcome it,” he concluded.

erry Parikesit was very lucky to be able to get one unit of the legendary Triton Motorcycle racing bikes. The this is, in the era of British 1960’s racing Triton had become the ace of spades for the drivers and oftenly won various racing event in the said continent.

Actually, Triton Motorcycle was not a bike manufacturer. Their spareparts were taken from Triumph and Norton, which were engineered by some racing workshops in the UK to build the ideal figure of racing motorcycle. Therefore, they were called Triton because the name was derived from fragments of Triumph and Norton, abbreviated Triton.

“The engine was from Triumph Thunderbird 6T with the capacity of 650cc while the body frame was from Featherbed models of Norton Commando. It was according to the information that I got from the literature, “said the man whose

GASTANK MAGAZINE 56 06

current domicile is in Mabad, Rempoa, South Tangerang.

The 6T engine was used because at that time it was considered as the most modern, wellknown for the speed, and had good endurance.

On the other hand, the one framework set from Norton Comando had proven its flexibility and lightweight so that the weight of the racing bike could be reduced.

While observing the Tritont that belongs to Ferry, we found that the other spareparts that were equipped for the bike were those of the mainstay brands for racing bikes back then.

For example, the front tromol area, which were equipped with larger diameter conical type tromol, while the cover was equipped with grilles for air circulation. The rear tromol was equipped with umbrella type tromol.

“The tires were also equipped with trellis type racing velgs with aluminum as the material,”

Ferry explained, who was sucessfully managed to get the bike 5 years ago. The brackets on the speedometer, and other supplies that were equipped were the initial default of the bike.

Well, the real question is, where did Ferry’s Triton come from? We could safely said that the bike is fairly rare, anyway. After looking for the information from the previous owner, it turned out that this Triton was originally belonged to Jan Alex Jacobus Grashuis, a man who was born in 1928 from Nijmegen, Netherlands who had lived in Indonesia for a long time. He was also one of the figures of leading motorcycle racer of Indonesia in the past.

Grashuis, as how he usually called by his friends who were also fellow racers, was known to be close to some Indonesian racers like Heng Iriawan, Beng Soeswanto, Tinton Soeprapto, also Chandra Alim, and Richard Hendarmo. He was appointed as a “teacher” or “instructor” of the racers since the time of independence year. Unfortunately, Grasius had passed away in 2002 because of severe illnesses, his motorcycles collections were sold by the family.

riumph 6T Thunderbird is one of the special antique British bike series. In its golden age, the bike with linear 2-cylinder engines had the greatest engine capacity compared to the other types of bikes that had been manufactured by Triumph that time. No wonder if this bike, which was used

by Marlon Brando in one of his filmography, “The Wild One�, is currently being pursued by

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 60

many vintage bike enthusiasts.

One of them was Tommy Sunu, who began his journey with British vintage bikes. After successfully getting Triumph Thunderbird 6T from his hunting session in Bali, Tommy Sunu was faced with two choices; would he restore the bike to get the original appearance, or pick a shortcut by relying on customization.

“Well, initially when I got this 6T, the bike condition is good enough to ride, but there were only a few original parts that were equipped, such as original frame, front suspension, default bike tank, and rear drum. If I chose to pursue the original appearance, it required a lot of things to be done,� as Tommy Sunu, who got this bike from Yusuf Sam, explained.

Yusuf Sam himself is a builder of the Lowo Abang Art Cycle (LAAC) workshop from Bali, in addition for bike restoration, he is also skilled in customization. Long story short, Tommy Sunu finally decided to change the look of his new Triumph 6T with customization, directly handled by LAAC workshop.

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 61

Well, the concept of customization approaching a style of boardtrack racer, comprehended with the vintage racing bikes on oval tracks. He was continuing to rely on the original framework coupled with the installation of front fork girders. “The bike default was using a telescopictype shockbreaker, but then because we use the concept of vintage racer, therefore it was replaced with a replica of the girder,” as the man who lives in Bintaro, South Tangerang, continued.

wanted art cycle concept, which means a customization style that emphasizes the elements of the artwork. For the details, he also worked hard on it so the finishing would resembles Falcon Motorcycle or bike that was built by Chikara Nagata. “Although the details are processed, I still want a motor that is comfortable for riding,” as the man continued.

For the tires area, 21-inch velg rings were both mounted, corresponding with the concept of boardtrack racer look. For the rear tire, the velg was coupled with drum with spring models, while the front tire, the conical drum that was produced in 1970 is also mounted.

The part of the cylinder head relies on the custom made cover, while for the oil hose line, brass pipe was used. Meanwhile, on the right side of the rear frame, a place to keep two back up of spark plugs was also added. The bike appearance looks more luxurious after the girder and the custom oil tank had been coated with chrome, thus the area of the engine cover and the drum are also polished along.

The alteration that was desired by Tommy Sunu change was not only a custom work, he also

The last touch for the head lamp area, which was adhered on the shell, is the addition of

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 62

custom fitted aluminum cover, making the display front area of the bike even more beautiful.

“This aluminum head lamp cover is made by a friend named Akbar,” Tommy explained.

The area of the tank is a two-piece design, means that it was separated between the right and left part, and to make it even more gorgeous, at its upper part, a bracket from iron plate is also affixed and then finisihed with chrome coating.

The title of “Flying Don Juan” is actually given

by Yusuf Sam as its builder. It actually has its own meaning, so this bike would always stand out in the crowd wherever and whenever. Apparently with such title, this custom Triumph T6 brought him a blessing at the Deus Bike Built Off event in 2015, which was held a few months ago. In this event, the bike was successfully won the highest place title within the “Free For All” class.

For coloring the tank and rear fender areas, he yielded all the work to Syamsul Fahmi, an artist from Free Flow, Bandung. “The detailed parts of the tank is designed with images of wings by a new painting method performed by Fahmi. I called this artwork as Andara, which is the acronym of the names of my three sons,” as Tommy, who also called this bike with ‘Flying Don Juan’, continued.

“Flying Don Juan is also the representative of Deus Bali for an international event called Deus Bike Built Off Bike 2015, in which the winner of the representatives of Deus from Autralia, Tokyo, California, and Milan will be pitted to win the championship. At the moment it is still in the assessment process, so the winner has not been announced,” as Tommy concludes.

ctually, the idea of the customization of the bike, which was built by Radio Martin from Retrogades Sloughter House workshop and the owner of Rustoration workshop in Bandung, Adji Tyo was not only focused on one concept. The idea was let flowing and was intended to be concept-less because in the making, the body work and also frame basic was also let flow.

To make the process be more focused, they divide their tasks according to their skill and specialty. Tyo focused in the restoration of the T110 engine, which was produced in 1958, while Raditio was in charge for the customized body.

“Not only the work that is a collaboration, the joint ownership of the bike is also approved by both of us,” as Didot, Raditio’s nickname, explained while laughing.

This let-flown concept was done on even the smallest detail of the bike, including he position of the oil tank that was

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 59

mounted under the frame. The girder itself did not refer to the default bike model, but following the idea of making the front end with rigid model. Thus, in the middle of the restoration process, there was an idea to use the spring application for the reducer. “We made the main spring and rebound spring by ourselves, and also the minilink, which function is to be the driver hinge.” Didot continued.

Didot himself named the spring model as “vertical spring” because the position is stand-

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 68

ing while the working system is pulling type.

It is like the case of the system of the spring that he had made before, which he had applied to BSA bike “Careeta Machine” along with the minilink, one of his creation. Didot called them “horizontal spring” because its horizontally laying position.

Well, for the front lamp the position is almost invisible, because actually the lamp position in the frontier area of the tank is located behind the trellis. The lamp itself relies on a projector

lamp that projects the light onto the front side of the road. “Many people told me that this type of customization looks like Predator. Meanwhile, I choose to simply call it ‘Teng Wadja’,” as he continued.

For the wheel set, the front tire is using velg with the specification of 21 inch ring, which then coupled with custom tromol, with 40 trellis holes. The front tire uses the brakeless concept, and the tromol is left as default without braking system. The rear velg uses the parts from H-D

2 inch genuine ring which is completed with disc with custom caliper. Both of the velg then covered with IRC local tire from Trail.

“The base of the engine that used by Teng Wadja was taken from Triumph T110 1958 type with the engine capacity of 650cc, 2 cylindrical 4 valve. Supported with amal carburator type Concentric 930 and Magnetto Lucas Racing for the oxidation sector,” as Adji Tyo who took care of the engine part concluded.

he old skool chopper style is likely timeless, as the custom style still remains an inspiration for many of custom genre’s enthusiasts. Reynova Su hendra’s bike, Triumph TR6R 650cc, which was released in 1970, is capable of carrying us the passion of customized chopper from the past.

Fixed by Flying Piston Garage (FPG), Bandung, Triumph custom motorbike that was given the nickname of ‘Evil Twin’ is made with compact, slim, and lightweight display.

“The basic concept of change was the result of a discussion and an agreement between the owner of the bike with us,” said Rudi Soejono, a builder and owner of FPG, whom Gastank Magazine interviewed in his workshop on Jl. Halteu Utara No. 66, Bandung.

The framework relies on the original Triumph Bonneville motorbike, which was produced

in 1970, but the problem is the rear part of this model is equipped with a swing arm and double suspension, which were not compatible with the style of old-school chopper.

“The solution is to eliminate half of the rear framework and then to replace it with new pipe with a rigid model, including parts of the rake, in which angle also was adjusted,” as Rudi, who told us that the position of the steering angle is also made to be higher, explains.

For the front suspension, the default Triumph Bonneville 120 is mounted, and also equipped with a suspension custom cover from FPG. Corresponding with the 70’s chopper concept, older headlight product is chosen to be installed along with the Z models steering bar.

The wheel area is a combination of tin velg

Meanwhile, at the front tire, a 21 X 2:15 3.00X21 ring, coupled with Kenda tires are mounted. “The drum rear is special type because it was taken from springwheel from Triumph Thunderbird, meanwhile for front area, custom-made drum bracelet was used,” as the builder with pompadour hairstyle continued.

For the rest of the bike, almost all the components of this bike were customized by FPG, starting from the seat, sissy bar, exhaust, up to tank which was detailed with veined style. To make it even neater, the oil tank was coupled with vintage Triumph Speed​​ Twin rigid suspensions.

For the engine area, beside the fact that it was already rebuilt, the appearance is also supported by mounting some detailed parts of engine accessories, such as carburetor manifold, finned exhaust clamps, oil feed from Webco, and the cam cover Bates.

The finishing stage included coating the tank with Candy Dark Blue paint that is compatible with the color of the other chromecoated components. The workmanship of this bike that takes about six months to finish finally has made the owners satisfied because the bike has no more problems even if he rides it on daily basis, wherever he wants to go.

done by Reka, from the chassis area to the parts that are connected on the bike. For the design of the bike’s frame, Dion wanted a certain old-school style bike model that is still comfortable to ride. Thus, Reka coupled the rear frame with a plunger type suspension that was taken from BSA ZB31, or so-called Salur 350cc.

In the middle of his business, him, as the owner of Durga Tattoo is also fond of custom motorcycles, with old-school chopper style was chosen as reference for his customized Triumph T120R 650cc motorcycles produced in 1971. He entrusted Sofieskull Choppers workshop to work on his bike. “The theme is leaning towards traditional chopper style with handmade details,” as Reka Praise Asmara, the owner and also builder from Sofieskull Chopper, Yogyakarta, explained.

mounted. For the front tire Avon Speed Master MK II was mounted, and Swallow was used for the rear tire.

The headlight part was taken from Mobilette, an antique bike. Thus, for the area of the tank he still relied on Triumph Daytona replica models, which then completed by mounting Triumph’s emblem as the identity of the bike.

For the finishing, he relied on chrome for some parts, such as springer area, handlebars, tank emblems, exhaust, as well as the entire area of the polished engine. Black paint on the frame is nicely harmonizing with red maroon paint for a half part of the tank, rear fender, and the oil tank. The coordination is actually making the whole bike looks even smoother.

N

ot many of those who call themselves as classic Triumph with modern look owners, be bold enough to thoroughly custom their bikes, as what had been done by Joshua Supit. He entrusted his best friend Veroland, a builder from Kick Ass Chopper workshop for doing makeover for his bike with bobber look.

Not only cutting the skeleton, Vero also made a new frond end springer beside rigid model chassis affirming the chopper traditional look.

“The customization of Bonneville with this bobber style, and I made it simple, so the bike outer appearance would look more compact,” explained the builder whose workshop is currently in Mampang, South Jakarta.

Made completely concised so that the area of ​​ the engine could become the main focus, there were some sort of modification for electrical system and battery position were made to hide under the main engine. Therefore, because modern machines were not equipped with an oil reservoir box under the area under the driver’s seat anymore, its appearance seemed cleaner.

Not only that, Vero also had dealt with with the

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 84

lubricant cooler position, which was usually attached with the down tube frame, then moved to the bottom of the machine. “The bracket of the said lubricant cooler was set under the dinamo starter, so the position did not interfere with the display,” said Vero again.

Vero was meant to not change any previous default engine parts set of the said Bonneville that was made in 2005, so it was still in a state of completed standard, chrome coated engine cover. He wanted the people who see the bike to immediately understand that the bike was on the new machine. Thus, the design of bot of the exhaust pipes was intentionally made out on the right hand side, which dimension was not too long, so it could be simpler.

The only part that changed was only the carburetor, which had been replaced with aftermarket product from Keihin FCR 39, because the original Bonville machines which were initially produced in 2001-2007 were not equipped with the injection system. The first injection devices were only included in Triumph Bonneville bikes produced in 2008 and above.

For the rear wheel area, he relied on the tires that were commonly applied to the drag of the

GASTANK MAGAZINE 07 85

GASTANK MAGAZINE 06 86

M & H Racemaster products, and the a wheel rims of 16 inches were also custom-made. The area of the ​​ rear wheels are wide enough, and it was deliberately chosen by Vero to fill the posterior of the bike. The front wheels were equipped with 21-inch velg rims and wrapped by Avon Speed Master ​​ MKII. The color on the characteristics of this bike were actually imitated the British flag, which combines blue, white and red. Thus, the color of tank was made blue, combined with the row accent on the middle.

The emblem of Triumph on the tank was made white, and then the original funnel of the carburetor or the velocity was red.

The traditional chopper design for Bonneville is intentionally made by Vero, while the rake was made to be tighter so the bike dimension would not be too big.

“So then when the owner is about to ride this bike, it can still conquer the traffic jams in Jakarta,” Vero concluded.
