He signed my Bonnie tank too.
Years ago Triumph had a magazine and on the last page they profiled an employee.
One month they profiled Neil so I got to see what he looked like (35ish) and learned about his past and experiences.
He rotated between between regular painting jobs and tank lining for a few months at a time so he didn't get bored.
The lines on my tank are so even that it's hard to believe it was done by hand.

That's cool, Rocky, didn't see that. I wonder if there's a robot in their Thai factory now named Neil?

No, Neil's Thai replacement's initials are MK ... Lol, but he just as good

That is pretty cool

Those lines are hand painted ? Such talent out there, beautiful. I love that Triumph, don't regret trading my Bonnie for the CB any day, but this new model looks a dream. The clocks are spot on, looks fab
