the willpower needed to leave a bike like this must be huge.

They are made to ride not hide away in the darkness, that is a different world to being a motorcyclist! (IMHO)

And the ad pic is not even a pic of the bike in the crate, these were built under license by L F HARRIS , italian fr ends and tank nicasli bore alloy cylinder which would have been good if the nicasil didn't fall off which most did and dodgy italian electrics took a mate of mine about 2-3 years to sort his one out from new wasn't bad after that.

The pic in ad pic has a breadbox tank whereas the bike in crate has the italian slimline tank with locking petrol cap the only triumphs to have this,good luck if he get's 30k for it could think of better bike's for that money.

Which isnt a problem considering he states that the bike in ad is merely from an advertising phamplet.I to could think of bikes that appeal more for that $ but then if one of those was my thing then a better example would be hard to find eh,motorcycling and desire have fuck all to do with money all things considered.

Nice ... but not worth 30 grand ... You can pick up one for between 4 and 5 five grand, spend another five grand on it ... and it will be just as good ...

And there's reasons why we don't ride those bikes any more ... By 1987 my BSAs and Triumphs were parked up as a "collection" and I was riding Hondas ...
