Motorcycle Classics | CB 650 Modern Cafe

Recently sat with Greg Williams (contributor for Motorcycle Classics Magazine) for an interview featuring my 1979 CB 650 Modern cafe racer. This is the first time my work will be in a US national bike magazine and I am excited to see the article in the next few months.

The Beginning Of An Exciting Project

On Friday the 13th of this month a couple of us from the city took a small trip to Wendover, NV for a little recreation time but admittedly, with some ulterior motive. It's nice to get a chance to fly to this casino hot spot in the middle of nowhere but the thing about it is, nowhere is awfully close to the Salt Flats.

We got in to Wendover around 7pm and went straight to "The Rainbow" (our casino -hotel) for dinner and then to hit the tables. The next morning we took a Bonneville Salt Flats tour and an ATV Trek through the Leppy Hills of Utah with Intermountain Guide Service (1-877-882-4386). Brian, Kelly and Mr. C were wonderful guides and I highly recommend checking them out when your in Wendover.

As quick as it was, I got a taste (literally put my lips to the ground) for the salty stretch of Bonneville and I now know for sure that I want to make a land speed record attempt....it's in my blood. Overall it was a good trip, the town of Wendover has great hospitality, food and casino's. Well worth the experience!

Another Great Show | Calgary Custom Fabricator

Once again the Trillion Booth at the Calgary Motorcycle show has been a major hit. This year Derek and Chad have the CB and Derek's new Triumph "bobber" project on the floor and this bobber has been stopping people in their tracks. You have to get down to see this bike, it is clean and simple yet elegant.

Derek would also like to thank all of his loyal customers, friends and future clients for stopping in to see him at this years show......

....including the Amsoil Girls.....

Almost Finished | Custom Fabricator

Well the year is almost up, and the boys are working hard to finish another great year in the shop. Derek and Chad are also gearing up for the Calgary Motorcycle Show in January and will be bringing a few new projects. Make sure you stop in to see them at the Trillion Booth.

Another nice bit of news is the new Trillion Industries website will be up this week. It has taken a little bit of time but that always happens when you want to build something nice while you are extremely busy.

MotoFest Show & Shine

On June 6th Derek took the CB650 to the MotoFest Show & Shine at the Rusty Cage in Calgary, an event put on by the boys at Motorrad Performance. After a few weeks of final touches and tuning, the CB was ready to ride, and made a decent impression with the judges and attendees. By the end of the day, the CB had been awarded, "Best of Show" and a "Peoples Choice". Thanks to all who attended and voted as well as Paul and Keith at Motorrad Performance, and Toby Lutmer who created the "Gargoyle-Wrench" trophies.
