    they are hilarious. Found this one on market place 5 years ago or so, one owner and very low milage, I think he paid $400 or thereabouts! I currently have it stored at work, might take it out for a bash

    Been watching these bad boys, but I'm not allowed anything else because the shed is overflowing massively 🤦*♂️

    And instantly I'm back in the year of my first bike ride. It was a Speed Twin too, but not as flash as that. What were they thinking?

    I got a call a year back from someone I know offering me my old road RG50 he had bought. Bit worse for wear of course. Decided I had other things to progress and I really wouldn't ride it.
    Watch the tanks. Will be onto the third repair of the bottom corners by now.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    streamlining and or later fins first curved later raked and agular was all the rage back in the day, a bit wasted on a Tiger cub let alone a Tiger 110 if you ask me. Wicks did most of the real design for Triumph back then and turner took the credit.
    I love those details and rockets etc and props that 50's cars like Studebakers had back then (not the car) or ford single spinners but the details designers tend not to take risks and who can blame them

    tank is original and untouched. Apart from a great "patina" the only damage is a crack in the gauge cluster screen. It's a real gem. If I remember I'll snap a few pics at work.

    Speaking of silly 2t stuff. I know where a rough and pulled apart KR150 is, maybe I need to make that bad decisions

    If you want to talk RG50s give us a yell once properly aquainted. I'm not expert in many things in life, but I will own that one.

    They peaked then until the harris in about 85 but they needed a 68 or so tank.

    a guy i was talking to mentions the Fuji rabbit we had that never went when i was a kid we used to tow it down the road with a rope.
    love to do one with a R1 engine.

    there was a Fuji for sale on TM, might even still be there, reasonably odd looking wee thing
    Trying to acquire a few more smaller scoots for the exciting scooter paddock Enduro for new years. If we do a clockwise track I'll use my Keyway with excellent sidecar attachment
