I'm off to the big smoke on the weekend to check out a 74 Tr7rv.
I was expecting to be getting a 65Tbird but that didn't work out.
So I decided to opt for something a bit more modern. [I like indicators in my old age.]
Is there anything I should particularly look out for on this model? Any probs with the 5 speed box?
Do these single disc front brakes work better than the Commando ones? Or for that matter how do they compare with twin leading shoe Trumpy brakes?
It has a single carb, electronic ignition and looks very tidy to me. Apparently it doesn't leak oil. Does this mean it isn't really a Trumpy? I like that it doesn't appear to need anything to be done before riding. I initially planned to fly and ride but it's a really long way on an unknown steed so I'm taking a trailer cause I'm getting old and boring and not ready to blue the pipes on a long hot ride.
Any critique or advice is welcome.
Pics after purchase.
Cheers.
