Hi, I'm an old Triumph dude (the mouse)

But new to this site.
Been biking since Adam fell off his horse, hmmm that makes me around 40ish.
Ridden mainly old school British bikes all this time, don't know why, sucker for punishment i guess, but when they run sweet there is no looking back and all the troubles (mainly lecktics, go to the back of the mind).
I kick around with mates the Grover Chasers Touring Bunch so get to a few rallies when work and the broken arse body allows. Also a member of Triumph Owners N.Z.
Frequent classicbike.net worth a visit if you have an old banger (Brit, Euro).

Man there is some interesting stuff and people here, i'll save the reading for the wet unmotivated days, meantime ride on.

Welcome mate,dont own one but grew up with a father that on regular occasions had 650SS Nortons and the odd Trident spread all over the lounge,consider myself lucky to have watched him put them back together (better than the factory built them in some cases).

As i say welcome and enjoy.

"disc braked bikes are making this the place for softies..."

Oil in frame but at least that's where the oil stays. Have you tried stopping one of these disc t140's in the wet, not for softies.

Us drum brakers have learnt not to brake.... It just slows you down ;-)
