Triumph Bonneville T100 2008 By Blood Brothers Inc

Triumph Bonneville T100 2008

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life...and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. Our friend Marcus is living out his own version of these timeless words. A ground-floor employee of a successful tech startup, Marcus recently made the bold choice to put more focus on the essential. At the age of 34, he cashed out, bought a 400-year-old farm with his wife in Sweden, and retired from the rat race.


When Marcus asked us to build him a motorcycle, his story supplied all the inspiration we needed. “The Woodsman” is the first custom build by Blood Brothers Inc. A blend of grit and grace, this custom scrambler is built to handle the rigors of a working farm while preserving the iconic beauty the Bonneville is known for.


We began with a bone stock 2008 T100, stripped away all but the frame and engine and began to build. And we seized the opportunity to collaborate with and showcase our favorite bike shops and partners from around the world.
