While most of the custom Triumph Bonneville machines out there are usually painted in sober, retro colors, and some even get some very nifty steampunk accents, the 2005 Bonneville T100 Chequer is something completely different.

This surprisingly classy bike is part of the Triumph by Paul Smith collection and is a one-off machine. An instant collectors item, this bike proudly displays its checkered pattern in a nifty contrast with the bright British flag design on the side covers. You'll most likely never meet this bike, let alone get to ride it, but the pain scheme is worth reproducing.
