yeah...i hear you. happy riding welded a few hd parts in my time.

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

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

WOW!!!! Love the Triumph. I have never seen brown and it is spot on!

Goes perfect with the Sub. Seeing your pic is getting me thinking of a Triumph rather than a BSA!
