TimmyB Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 1966 - Bob Dylan is injured in a motorcycle accident near his Woodstock, N.Y., home; he goes into seclusion. Thank God that Dylan came out of seclusion after the accident or whatever really happened that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 It was a Bonneville TT Special, 650 cc twin he was riding at the time also.Although disputed by some to be a 500 cc,Triumph never made a 500 cc bike. During Bob's retreat he wrote The Basement Tapes .Titled appropiatley,since that was where he actually wrote the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Esau - DO you know anything about that Basement tapes album cover? any interesting background to it or just a bunch of freaks in a basement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Triumph never made a 500 cc bike. Triumph made lots of 500cc bikes, such as 500cc Tiger 100 Daytona (T100T) (check here, especially the 1967 entry). Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Yeah,I realized that afterwards myself too,Not sure why I thought that,I'll blame it on the cloudy head I have this morning ,but good job bradm,ya got me,I should have known that,having owned a 71 750 for awhile and Triumph being my bike of choice.Awww,well. I see that site also follows the myth that Bob crashed on a 500 cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
