Custom Triumph
Before last October, many didn’t associate legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk with motorcycles.
But that all changed when the iconic Roland Sands Designs built a “Hawkized” Triumph Scrambler to be auctioned off for the Tony Hawk Foundation at last year’s Stand Up for Skateparks fundraiser in Vegas.
The uniquely-designed Scrambler went for $32,500, sold to Dave Matthews Band bassist Stefan Lessard.
Due to the Scrambler’s success, Roland Sands Designed decided to built another machine for this year’s charity – a Triumph Thruxton.
The “Hawkized” Thruxton was built for the Tony Hawk Foundation, and will be auctioned off on Nov. 5, 2011 at the third-annual Stand Up For Skateparks fundraiser benefit in Las Vegas.
RSD reports that the “Hawkized” Thruxton has been transformed by Roland Sands Design into a full-on custom café racer. Key features include RSD custom clip-on handlebars and foot pegs, a handmade FMF Titanium Exhaust, custom 17″ rims with red powdercoating, and updated forks and shocks by Progressive Suspension. Other one-off RSD components abound on this special Thruxton, while a custom red paint job by AirTrix completes the package.
The Triumph Thruxton will be unveiled at the Stand Up For Skateparks fundraiser at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas this weekend. Attached above is a sketch of the RSD Triumph Thruxton; stay clicked to UltimateMotorCycling.com for additional pics.
