Thierry lives in France and runs Haute Tension Motorcycle. He sent us this pic of a unit Triumph drag bike he is currently building. Pretty rad! Check out his website in French, or you can check it out here translated into english thanks to Google.

Pretty excited about how this is coming along, and quickly, with my late night hours in the shop working on it. I made some tubular alloy gas tanks a week or two ago and here they are fresh from the polisher. I couldn't be more stoked on these! Also, the polished up 1970 Yamaha XS1 front brake hub all polished up, brake plate is getting worked on now. I got exci.ted and had to mock the bike up with tire and such to check it out. Sending out my rims and hubs to get laced up at Buchanan's tomorrow morning. I have my eye on the prize, I can't wait to be bombing the clutch on this bike on a drag strip in the springtime. Death or glory!
