Clasic Of 1957 TRIUMPH TIGER 110
Triumph’s Tiger one hundred ten was the forerunner of the Bonneville, advanced for the yankee marketplace. And sixty years in the past, its 649 cc parallel twin OHV motor made it the quickest Triumph you can buy. This lovable 1957 version was owned with the aid of the overdue Bob “Snuffy” Smith, a racer from Pennsylvania, and photographed with the aid of his buddy Harold Ross. “Bob purchased the motorbike within the mid 80s after which restored it,” says Ross. “He outfitted a single saddle, had the aspect covers chrome plated, and inverted the racing stripe paint scheme on the fenders to healthy his liking. His son Matt remembers being on holiday in Florida whilst his father had the chrome-plated elements shipped there, because he became so eager to look them.” The diffused mods have been nicely-selected: they’ve removed all vestiges of the stock Tiger’s barely bloated looks. And if you’re wondering why the picture looks one-of-a-kind to the standard motorbike studio shots, it’s because Ross employs an uncommon technique: mild portray. This involves operating in a totally dark studio, starting the camera shutter for a long term, and then ‘painting’ at the light the usage of a modified fiber optic cable. Just the element to expose off the first-class curves of a antique Triumph twin.
