Hi All

Here's my latest pride and joy.Bought it on Craigslist.(Thanks GPZ for the post on Forward air-Great operation).Has about 13750 miles.Tank and side covers were painted by Don Hutchinson.Mufflers are Toga repros.PO took really good care of it.Boyer ignition and 200W alternator.Triples vibrate less,run cooler(oil cooling?) and it's great to have five speed on the left.Disc brakes are great too.Triumph's answer to the Honda CB750 should have come sooner.I personally think these bikes have more 'soul' than the in line fours of that era.
