Originally intended as a tribute to
the 40th anniversary of Evel Knievel's unforgettable Caesar's Palace jump, U.K.
bike dealer Jack Lilley has created a special edition of Triumph's
on-and-off-road Scrambler. The choice of motorcycle makes sense because that
original jump some 40 years ago was done aboard a Triumph T120 Bonneville.
Although the project was started before his death, it has taken on new meaning
now that the legendary stunt-man has passed and is a tribute to more than just
that one jump. According to the dealership, the bike "is based on a Scrambler
and has a superb paint job along with short front mudguard, Thruxton seat and
hump, chrome engine cases, red cam cover and other small details." The one-off
tribute bike will be sold with a signed picture of the man himself in mid-jump
and will command a few thousand extra over the base price of the Scrambler.
