Spirit of the Seventies Triumph
Scrambler
No matter which angle you view this latest build
by Kent-based Spirit of the Seventies, the aesthetics stop you in your tracks.
But that’s only to be expected when you have two arty types, Tim Rogers and
Kevin Taggart, steering the company - one a professional photographic, the other
a graphics designer, and both sharing a deep passion for building hot-rod
motorcycles with retro style.
This latest street scrambler-styled Triumph is dubbed the 904 Dirt Twin and
breaks new ground for Spirit. Previous builds were based on pepped-up 1970s
bikes with fresher neo-retro styling cues, but this Brit twin, based on a 2006
Scrambler model, is their first build with a contemporary machine. But they
applied that same hot-rod/retro ethos.
Rogers told MCN: "The customer came to us via one of our parts suppliers, LSL.
He said he wanted a TPR-styled bike but we weren’t prepared to copy someone
else’s work and said, we’d love the project but it would be our take on the
street scrambler look."
