The Future of Nick and Ernie

Produced by Triumph North America, this video takes Empire/Icon riders Nick and Ernie and their drift bikes and throws them 40 years into the future. The video is a promotion for Triumph’s new partnership with Barber Motorsports Park. If you wondered what it might look like to drift the Speed Triples in the rain, have a look. We wish we could have seen the turbine bikes drifting, but that may have to wait till the next Icon video.

    I love how DiSalvo comes up to our shoulders in the default image. He’s a funny man. Even better in a compressed super hero security guard sorta way. Kinda like the musclemania toys I was lighting on fire as a nino.
