All Activity

You're right there mate, it was the first time iv been on the bike since last August

Did it myself. A combination of paint stripper and sanding with a high grit pad. It seems every pre 86 tank has corrosion perforations at the lowest points each side where the water collects and this one is no different. I was contemplating welding it up myself but thin aluminium is difficult and its 75% certain ill just blow through it so getting someone local bike shop to do it.

Running standard springs by any chance?

That’s because you don’t normally ride it.

Are they getting abit cruddy or something?

Im new at this, dont normally take pics at all

Bloody fork seals again , lasted 4,000 miles this time ............

Mmmmmmmmmmm, I think you need to work on your composition a bit .........

Yeah its a Citroën....

Look beyond the foam Busa...lol.

A picture of your bike actually on a ride is akin to seeing a unicorn

Surely it's got to be the busa

Right now it's raining in the back garden but sunny in the front garden so I'm going to have a cigar in the front garden.

You have to look pass the spunk Bob...lol.

That fool in the blue shirt definitely has a Death Wish....

The Triumph for me , I'm certainly not voting for a barge that someone has spunked all over .......

Integral part of any old bike, not just triumph.

Is this shit ever gonna end...some say we should be riding in a few weeks but im skeptical...lol.

Depends what he wants mate, the first gen Hinckley Triumph T300 series Triples can be picked up for peanuts. There was a tidy Sprint like mine sold on Ebay 4 miles from me for £440last week. I paid £510 for mine. Lots of bike for the money. They are modular as well, all the same cycle parts and tanks just the fairings that are different. Daytonas hold their money but Sprints and Trophies don't so there is lots of scope to play around. Also the 1200 motor is a straight bolt in for the 900 frame. So you can make a 1200 Sprint either by bolting in the motor or just changing the Bodywork. Hours of fun for you dad at little cost. The Legends (Bonnie Lookalike Triples) are a different matter they hold their money well but it is possible to turn any of the other models into a Legend with the right bolt on bits. Also you have the CRK Cafe racer kits for T300s. You are right though the money is in 125's but life is to short to be fecking around with them IMHO. I will do it for my brood but it's doesn't float my boat really.

My old man retires in a month or so and he wants to go in to abit of bike restoration i said he should do 125s as there will always be a need for them but he wants to do mainly old British makes, not sure he'll get much
