Reliving my youth

[Leesparkykent]

Just do it. Triumph make some lovely bikes these days (don't leak oil like the old ones) but not fast enough for me. I have an S1000RR at mo, quickshifter, anitiwheelie, TC, 193 BHP, definatly not a tool for a born again biker

Must be earning to much money lol

Ohhh yes good answer. I'm starting to get into a JFDI frame of mind, but I'm sticking to a Bonny, none of this 193 bop stuff for Mr I've done all that before! I can explain the cost away easy cos the modern Triumphs seem to hold on to their price really well so could always sell it again dear...........

Press announcement!!!! I have just negotiated and put down a deposit on a fantastic condition 1975 T140 7500cc Bonneville. Getting it next week, but won't be venturing out till this flipping weather brightens up. She's a beauty, never liked blondes anyway.........

1975 T140 7500cc Bonneville

Sounds like a monster .

 

[sparksburnout]

It's bloody lovely. Sounds beautiful, and looks even better. I really wanted one when I was young and poor, but had to settle for jap stuff.

I said that in #36! . Lovely Bike though. The good thing with old british bikes is they appreciate in value as long as you appreciate they drop oil. lol.

 

[VoltzElectrical]

true. the kick back could be vicious.

I recently acquired a Yamaha XT 500. Taking it very carefully when starting her up!

My 1959 BSA Bantam never got the chance as after only a month on the road in my hands, I was mown down by a doctor's wife pulling out of a junction. Bike broke. Leg broke.

And not even a card or fluk all from her.
