Re: Feel good thing.
Yeah it does doesn't it
, not going to finish the white paint job now, so I'll put the red bodywork back on, just need to spray the wheels, fairing and belly pad, which shouldn't take more then a day.Should look something like this when it's done.  Cheers Mark.

Re: Feel good thing.

Re: Feel good thing.
well the aim is to ride the speed triple, all that money, suspension work and a truely evil engine, but whether that's ever possible with out fitting a shifter and relocating the foot peg is still very much in the air, but hopefully once I get the go ahead to start working on this knee an month or two should ( he says optomistically) see me able to ride the T'bird.
Oh on that note got a bit of a bargain for that to, was after one of the Original triumph sport screens for it, finally found one, Robinsons Foundry were having a clear out on Ebay, I won a old stock shop soiled one, needed respraying, but at £26 I though it was ok, however it turned up with a note in the box, basically it said sorry the item you won got damaged before being sent out so we've sent you a replacement instead, which was this.  That's a current stock thruxton one and still had the retail sticker on it £129.99, yeah I'm happy .
