That's me at 17 (circa 1979)

Best not to ask

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?

A rebadged leftover of spare parts from a bankrupt manufacturer;

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 .

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.
