Mr Martini "T-Type"
      #506632 - 04/21/11 01:13 PM

Italian custom Triumph specialist, Nicola Martini's lastest creation, "T-Type" is a great looking Thruxton with a Wiseco big bore/stroker kit (taking it to 988cc) and custom body work.

All that beautiful cooling fin work on an oil cooled engine and this dude want to cover it up? Seems a shame when you see the detail on the rest of his engine.

I dunno... to me I wouldn't call them fried eggs...

I think they are supposed to be olives...
After all... the guy's name is Martini

I don't know... to me the fried eggs don't quite fit and hide a lot of beauty. These engines look great and if anything I'd be looking for a way to enhance their beauty, not hide it.
