1978 Triumph T140 Bonneville

Among the most historically significant and personally resonant motorcycles in the collection, this 1978 Triumph T140 Bonneville was commissioned by Madison Square Garden and presented to Billy Joel to mark his landmark 150th sold-out performance at the world-famous venue. The Triumph was custom-painted especially for Mr. Joel and is accompanied by a matching helmet bearing the dates of every show he performed at Madison Square Garden. This is a remarkable and deeply personal piece of history, and pays tribute to one of the most extraordinary relationships between an artist and a venue in the history of popular music. To this day, Billy Joel holds the all-time record for the highest number of sold-out performances at Madison Square Garden.
