Jake is revving all kinds of engines on and off screen.
Here on the big screen in the second trailer for LaOD
and then off screen riding a beautiful British made 2010 Triumph Bonneville T100.
Throbbing engine between the thighs.. what would Sigmund say? "The T100 is perhaps the most classically inspired of all, so much so that it could easily disappear into a vintage motorcycle festival."
Timeless 60s styling. Twenty-first century engineering. Modern interpretation of a classic.
The classic Triumph. "Parallel-twin, spoked-wheels and lashings of quality chrome. Twin pea-shooter exhausts, two-tone paint and that Triumph embossed seat say ‘classic British motorcycle’" but while the T100 may look like it comes straight out of ‘the day’, the technology and ride experience most definitely do not.
It has a 865 cubic-centimeter engine, modern day suspension and brakes. Motorcycles today have a fuel injection system,gives a cleaner, low emissions way to ride, you just have to push a button rather than old way of pulling the choke to start the bike. No carburetor. Triumph has done a little bit of a fake out, you think you are pulling out the choke to start the bike. NOT SO! Total styling fake out, they use throttle bodies to house the fuel injection system and when you "pull the choke", it does the same thing as pushing the button on more modern looking bikes. Jake's staying green in style.
Totally classical British. Wonder if he got it this spring as a thank for from his British director or British cast from PoP, if Duncan sparked his interested in bikes?
But Jake has made a modification to the bike. And and interesting one. Look at these 2010 Bonneville T100's
and now look at Jake's
Notice anything? There is little chrome, no flash, no two-tone paint job, it is all black and very very subtle as to not draw attention. The black jacket and that Darth Vader of a helmet can get you in and out just like one of those spies from the 60's who would have ridden, Triumph like Jake's.
And that long seat has plenty of room for two too.
Hmmm maybe that's reason for this fashion choice.
' Cause you know he had the helmet.Guess, they're Born to Run.
Now that's Two Wheel Tuesday!
