I gotta get my Triumph on the road! I just need to put my stator/ rotor, and clutch in. I've been slacking this winter, it was supposed to be ready for the last GR.

Are you guys going to the ride To Skate? That's not too far off, maybe I'll take it down there?

goddddamn those british bikes and their stupid wrenches!.. If it makes you feel better I've had a commando for like 4 years that never touched. Hey, if you plan to go to Ride to Skate this year, come down to our area the night before. Big camp out/ sexy dudes/ bonfire by the river. Right up your alley.


Hey man just saw your edit. Ill send you a PM I dont wanna clog up your thread

@speedandnoise

the '57 motor for sale was actually mine.
just had too many issues and wanted to start from scratch with another motor.
I've still got the complete roller frame and a 33.4 waiting in the wings, so we'll see.

not trying to jack the thread, can't wait to see what you do with the '59!

Here's some pix of the '59 I've been working on. The fender, seat and fork covers are just sitting on there. I have to get some normal oil lines to hook up too. I think I'm going to cut that front pipe a little shorter too.

I shot a detailed video of the '73 the other day, and figured I'd throw it up here:

Does the rear brake lever flipped like that affect stopping power at all?? Thought I read somewhere that it decreased stopping power somewhat....???

Killer fuckin' bike man. Hope you get some good scratch for it!!
