Goddard Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Cool looking bike! I don't know much about old motorcycles but that seems like a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetaztsi Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 yeah, we bought it from the guy about an hour after he posted the ad on craigslist... could have probably turned around and re-listed it just the way it was for $3000. we're gonna fix it up real nice tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance_S Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yup, and just think, Truimph was....at one time....the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. Very nice bike. Clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierquest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Courious to see how you adapt to the shifter and the foot brake being on the opposite sides. My old man has one like that but it has a little rake up front. Nice find, I'm envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSI_Guido Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 WOW! Nice find! I'm an old school bike fan, also. Then again, my old bikes WERE old school! The opposite...for us...brake/shift will be interesting. Happy Resto-ing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Those are nice bikes! I bet the guy must have gotten a hundred phone calls for that bike after he sold to you! He probably kicked himself after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man has one like that but it has a little rake up front. Nice find, I'm envious. I forgot it was like that at first... won't be a problem though. You're just gonna see me hit the brake a little every time I go to shift for a little bit hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
