From a press release:
COSTA MESA, CA – William Tate, owner of California Speed Shop and Fleet Services, announced today the auction of two stunt Triumph Motorcycles from M:I-2.
So you think only two Triumph motorcycles survived the dazzling, demanding stunts that caused your pulse to race as you sat on the edge of your seat watching M:I-2! Not so! Up for auction are two amazing survivors of the second installation of the Mission Impossible movies starring Tom Cruise. Surprisingly, the black Speed Triple and red Daytona 955 triumphed over a wrenching demise. After being reconstructed by factory trained technicians both are fully operational, and run great.
Both two wheeled wonders have been modified for the big screen. The Speed Triple is complete with bullet holes and broken tail light. The Daytona sports a shattered windscreen as well as other appropriate abrasions. Touted by the seller as the Good Guy and the Bad Guy set, bidding begins any day now on eBay.
