The nerve of some people,posting pictures of such rolling trash heaps. You should be ashamed of those things I've been layin low, the wife downloaded a 2011 baby boy so I only got about 5 days of trails and 1 race in last year.
What no one's going to show the B50's with their all new restyled frame and fittings for 71+72? More close up views in the video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNRIAt6wm0 bsa my bsa Or the last of the B50's, a triumph TR5MX Avenger?

here's my old 79 T140E i had since 1987. just sold it to a guy in NJ this fall. the day i brought it home- on the left, complete with Triumph sissy bar(!) along with my 200.00 T120 that melted when my house burned down: and a few days before it sold:
This a great thread ! Nice to be able to get straight to the goods without having to plough through a whole bunch of German and Jap stuff.
Me far too many years ago on my 70 Long Range Commando , there wasn't many of these about . It was stolen from outside a pub in NZ and all I got back was the tank which is on my Commando now , posted a few pages back. Did anyone here have one of these at sometime?
I've always been a BMW guy. Sad, I know, but it's true. Why is it these late 60's and early 70's british bikes just look ... RIGHT? When I close my eyes and picture a motorcycle .. it's not a BMW. It's a '67 Triumph. I have no idea of the model. And of course Steve McQueen is riding it. WHY?! I'm guessing it's a disease, and there is no cure. Just my luck.
Oh there is a cure alright ! You just need to buy one or two then it changes from a disease to an addiction .

And of course Steve McQueen is riding it. WHY?! because Triumph is THE ultimate vintage bike. the epitome of cool. look up cool in the dictionary. a Triumph will be pictured under the definition. probably a 67. guess what? you nailed it. I'm guessing it's a disease, and there is no cure. Just my luck. copy that. just do it.
