Never got around to finishing her up so I gave her to a friend who has more mechanical ability in his pinkey than I have in my entire body. So, she has a good home and will be on the road someday..Sniff Sniff...PS, I have my Harley to get me around to watch meets...

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

thank you frank.

That's a very cool pic and a very cool bike!

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

The 4Cyl CB 750 is the bike that killed the British Invasion. It's all your fault!!!!!

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

t e x · 17 April 2010, 12:10 AM

yo johny, that's one sweet looking ride. ...and some killer work on her. looks like your t and sub are hitting it off, kinda like love at first sight!

squinky1 · 17 April 2010, 12:16 AM

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

hi rob....we all need a bigger garage.

Esexx · 17 April 2010, 02:43 AM

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!

hhh007 · 17 April 2010, 03:03 AM

Great pics Johny! Reminds me of years ago when I had a Triumph and a Norton Commando.

the brown was never a seller in the u.s. triumph had to ship them back home at a considerable loss.

MitchSteel · 17 April 2010, 03:32 AM

Nevermind the Sub, man.That bike is amazing
