I couldn't help it. I had to buy it......

For some time now, I have wanted an old British motorcycle.

Today, I bought one.

A 1980 Triumph Bonneville....


It was a near 400 mile round trip to collect the bike, which I found on and bought through e-Bay.

Only 20,000 miles, in great condition and the current owner was 90% way through restoring the bike.

I am told the engine is sound and it certainly looks in good condition.  

I couldn't fire the engine up as the bike wiring isn't finished.  I hope it will be as good as I was told....

 


The bike is currently missing a few parts, like exhaust pipes, a chain.....


But, those things do not matter, for when I have finished doing what I have planned for the bike, it might not look like it does now!

No, I am not going to say what I have in mind....

Think of it as a winter project bike and you will be right!



This may take some time....... I will keep you posted......
