I will use the name Padre in my posts.
I use weekly my 2.5 pi which has been slightly modified with a few Chis Witor engine and suspension parts.
It is now a non power steering manual O/D.
It was my daily driver for many years.
Now I use it at least once a week, more often as I an now retired.
I will be in the UK visiting my Daughter in Edinburgh mode may to mid July, any recommendations of Triumph events on at the time?
