That really is a pretty bike. No Brit bike for me yet, but I'm working on it...

My 83 Triumph TSS T140W, 750 cc.
The last of the Meriden Triumphs.
Factory equipped with the Weslake 4 valve per cylinder conversion. The engine is extensively modified by The late Jack Wilson of Big D Cycle.

Lurking behind - 69 Kawasaki H1 500. The first of the 3 cylinder two strokes. Still in mint condition.

Great photos, guys. Tony, gorgeous Norton. And I wonder what fun vehicles Dave Russell DOESN'T have in his garage??? Some guys have all the fun . . .

I won't post a photo of my Kawa, but I have a friend who restores Triumph bikes, does that count???

Any, thanks to Bas for starting the bike forum. It seems a fair number of us like to ride.

Cheers, thanks again for the great pix.

Here's mine - 1978 Triumph Bonneville (one of the Meridian bikes).
Bought at a yard sale for $500.It's still "under restoration",which means that I haven't done anything to it for awhile.

Make sure the file size is under 200k. (jpg). Then, post a message (or reply to this one) and select "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file".

This BSA is destined to be mine. Fully restored 441 Shooting Star with all the period speed accessories already on it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif He won't part with the Triumphs yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

First order of business would be a good dusting. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tony barnhill]

Shawn - Great BSA...I've a friend with one of those....now, let me know when he's ready to "get rid" of the Triumphs...Ft. Collins is only a couple day drive from me!

 

[swift6]

There is a long line forming for those Triumphs. He has close to ten at last count. The 441 is the only BSA in his collection. Which is why he is selling it to me.

Excellent Forum,
Here is a pic of my old 76 750, never should have sold it....

 

[Paul Johnson]

Well, I ride one of the new Bonnevilles. At 22k miles, there have been no issues at all. Takes about 45minutes to reconfigure from tour to cafe modes.

 

[DrEntropy]

That's just *sweet*!

...I'm jealous.
