Talking Hear Ye, Hear Ye, I have bought Ye Olde Triumph

Shiver me timbers, I have bought ye olde 1970 Triumph Tiger, for ye considerable bag of gold. It's been sitting in my mother's garage for the last week, and I can't even get out there to look at it until next weekend. I've only seen the bike a couple of times (never ridden it, but I have heard it just idling, sounds unreal, the sound of that bike idling has haunted my dreams) but I think it's pretty nice and as far as I know fairly correct. I know it's matching numbers, serial number starts with AD, so I think that means January 1970. Well, anyway guys, I am really very excited about this bike and can't wait to thoroughly inspect it in a week or so, once I get out there I'll take some photos and post them. P.S. this is the same bike that many of you gave me a thumbs up on when I posted about it earlier. Cheers all.

Whatever you do don't listen to Dagad. He secretly loves the color and is jelous he doesn't have one!
