Lowbrow Customs is headed out for Bonneville Speed Week this August, Tyler with his 1955 Triumph and Kyle with his 1967 Triumph to do some land speed racing. They have been pouring blood and sweat into their bikes all year, and decided to do a commemorative shirt for their first year racing on the Salt.
