Charles Lathe sends in another beauty.

Hey,
I’m attaching two photos of a Daytona I saw this morning at the Blue Ridge, motorcycle only, campground. I asked the fellow on it if he did the restoration himself or if he bought it that way. He said he did it himself and he has a dozen of them. His wife was with him on a nice 60’s Bonnie that I also got a couple of snaps of.
I told him we were on a new Bonneville and he said they also have a Triumph Rocket.

Thanks Again Charles. That might have been the “British In The Blue Ridge” meet. Those folks really put those old bikes through their paces.

Cool bike. What a beauty. But can anyone explain me the difference to the Bonneville?
Hey Frank,
Even though I have a new Bonneville, I am not a Triumph expert. However, I took the photo and can say that that Daytona has a 500cc engine. The Bonneville that rode in with it has a 650cc. Someone might correct me, but I think all the Bonnies were 650s and later 750. The two bikes look very similar and likely don’t have a huge performance gap — especially on snaking NC 276 (where I saw the bikes).
Regards, Chuck
