Should I pull the trigger?

[Gundy]

Rain, rain and more rain. I am not driving it home in
the rain.Looks like rain until the Monday AFTER Christmas.
Sigh.....I'd really hate to get it and ME wet.
Patience ....
Man I hate delayed gratification.

 

[drooartz]

Patience, grasshopper, patience.

Brought my riding gear to work today.
Riding the Triumph home today.
Pics this evening.

 

[drooartz]

Gonna be a long day at work I think...

Gonna be a long day at work I think...

Don't forget I'm the boss.....left at lunch after
five real estate closings.


Here she is in all her nasty blackness.
It was fun riding the 9 miles home.
I'll shine her up and give it some TLC
this weekend.
Then....I ride!

 

[drooartz]

Excellent -- it's good to be the boss!

Looks like a very nice ride indeed.

 

[Gundy]

Thanks Drew.
It has been bored w/ custom head and 2 into 1 performance exhaust. Corbin solo seat.
I love that it is a kick start. Real old school.

 

[drooartz]

Good chance for a real old school broken ankle with that kicker too.

That's a great addition to your little collection of interesting machines. Bugeyes, MGB, Land Cruisers, Triumph motorcycles... we have similar tastes.

 

[TRMark]

Looks good David. I like the seat and lower handlebars. As far as kick starting I always wear heavy boots.

Like these

Nice!
Like the pipes
Is that a 74?
Corbin seat too!

I always liked British bikes, but the Aerial square four is my favorite.

It's a 1977.
I have some boots with steel shanks in the sole
that I'll be using for those kick starts.


I've already ordered some stuff for the thing.
New rubbers and such.
60s this weekend. I was born to ride!
I'll have to get some practice before I take the motorcycle license test.

 

[SilentUnicorn]

That looks like an earlier tail light.
should be able to kick that over barefoot with out a problem. is it still points? or been swapped to electronic? 650 or 750?

Electronic. It's a 750 that has been bored out a bit.
The fenders and handle bars are not original.
I'm going shopping this afternoon for me leathers.

Hey David,

"COOL"!! I`ll stop by this Sat. to see her or give me a call & scoot her on down "Table Rock Rd" to my house. Should the "Buggy Barn" get too crowded; I have room (LOL)!!

Gone Golfin` @ "Southern Oaks" today.

See Y`All Later,

Russ

I'll leave the whips-and-chains jokes out of this...

 

[Gundy]

Bonnie shines up nicely. Kicked the old girl over this morning in 38 degrees. Yup....she's a driver. Wonderful low lope sound.
LOUD pipe...Mimi approves.

 

[SilentUnicorn]

She cleaned up nice. Does she have a name yet?

I don't know her well enough for a name.
Got my parts book and manuals this week along
with some new side cover decals and rubbers all around.
It has been too cold to ride. 17 degrees last night.
That has slowed my need to go get the permit and tags.
Maybe next week I'll be able to get some seat time.
Till then it's just the 750.

Hi There David,

I thought you named her "Bonnie" as quoted above.
