The Triumph motorcycle fairy paid my garage a visit...

And dropped this off...

It's not mine... it belongs to my good buddy Tim's brother. Shawn. He's my Triumph connection to the world.

But someday... just someday... if I'm good, and I prove myself worthy of ownership... through the build of my Triumph... I may have the option to buy.

Then it will get fixed up a tad... chrome front fork covers, Avon front tire, Triumph rear fender, Bates seat... chrome and polish, get rid of the mufflers and put the correct tripple tree on it to get the rake out of it.

BTW, does anyone have an old Chen Shing or Avon 19" front tire and some old jackhammer grips? I'd like to add those two things while it is my posession.

Great looking bike, Sam!
I could only hope that some day I could be a temporary "caretaker" of something like that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Dang dude, great week in the garage for you! Lathe in the background, meow!

[MattStrube]

What model is that?

[av8]

Neat old scoot. Is that a working sprung hub or has it mercifully been disabled?

[truth]

pre-units will never lose!

I dont have any old rubber hanging around, but I can get you a good deal on something new... lemme know if you're interested.

[SamIyam]

The sprung hub works great... ugly, but it works good.
Truth, how much is a new one?

And grips?

Thanks guys!

Sam.
