    I bought this bike in The Netherlands, but apparently it originates in Britain.
    I have never seen one with what appears to be a Phil Read autograph on the fuel tank.
    Has anybody seen this before?

    IT is actually under the lacquer, yes. Feels kind of embossed.

    Phillip William Read M.B.E. is an English former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. Although he was often overshadowed by his contemporary, Mike Hailwood, he became the first man to win world championships in the 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc classes.

    Could be - the Triumph decals are also different. They're a dark green as opposed to black.
