What do electric guitars and motorcycles got in common? The answer to that would be “nothing”, until now. Sucker Punch Sallys built a custom 2009 Triumph Thruxton specifically for Fender – one of the most popular guitar manufacturers in the world. Although the mechanical work on this beauty was minimal – the overal looks of the bike is just stunning, getting it’s inspiration from the vintage Isle of Man Cafe Racers. The exhaust was custom made, sweeping beneath the engine, Öhlins rear shocks replaced the stock units, while the front light got the twin HID lamps, shining through the number 8. Amazing!
But the real star was Sara Ray. This self taught hot rod artist did all the paint job on this bike, making it a rolling piece of art one of the most beautiful british bikes ever (maybe we overdid it Barry). And yes, all the paint “touches” were done by brush! Stunning…

That beige is not doing it for me. Reminds me of a computer from the 1980′s.
