    It is my bosses, a late 60's triumph. He has spent some time trying to trace it, Barris, Roth...no one knows. Any ideas?

    The one I saw was built and owned by a friend of my dad. Sorry I can't come up with a name for ya as my dad passed away a couple of years ago. Good luck on your search.

    Doubt Roth had anything to do with this. Not his style of work. Gary Littlejohn was more into using Triumphs.

    I used to run, (and sell), that same front seat on one of my Harley's.

  21. Coolest trike I have ever seen!
     
  22. Let your boss know that the Batman TV series was cancelled in 1968 and seeing he states that it was built in the early 70's it would have nothing to do with the series.

    yes 75 is the plate registration, bad thing is for cali to tell you squat you have to go there in person with first born blood type etc etc. so i am in the process now of trying to convince him we need to go to cali....... other than that, we maybe at a dead end. I do appreciate all the help here guys.
