I call BS a 1979 DID NOT have dual front disc brakes. The bike is obviously a recent build from the new Triumph co. Why make up something like age of your scooter??

Well he might have modded the front end with different forks and twin discs.............just saying you can make a point without being insulting or abusive.

Wonderful Triumph John. I had a bonnie years ago.Loved it! Yours in immaculate condition and that front brake mod means it actually does brake unlike the one I had which kinda sloooooowed down gracefully

And to Eddie, man you have got a seriously wonderful Bike collection, that Triton, well I hope you have ace cafe Badges on your leathers when riding it as it is straight out of that time

I have owned everything from vintage Harley, British bikes and VJMs and they're all good. I wish I had a bigger garage.

Very nice bike.

It should keep the Sub wound up while you're waiting for the lights to change.

Having owned a 1958 (Triton), a Tiger cub, a 1964 350 bathtub and a 1968 Triumph Bonnie a front brake mod would be a good mod.

Mate that is one serious peice of hardware - sod the watch. I did for a while (1978/9) have the pleasure of owning an 850 Commando and looking at your pics - I can feel the blood coursing...dammit

Oh yeah, sub is ok......but you need something more primal - Exp 1
