RE: Triumph chopper - What do you think?
My first new bike was a 1973, 750cc, dual carb,Triumph Bonneville. It was the first year for the Triumph 750CC twin. I probably would be dead by now if it wasn't for the excellent handling of the Triumph.
I also had a Triumph chopper rigid frame with a springer front end. It took first in show in the radical chopper class. The Harley entries were really upset, so next year they made an American class and foreign class. I took first place in the foreign class that year.

BigZed,Good looking in the picture.A friend and shopowner of mine has a gorgeous 500cc Triumph chopper,with beautifully polished aluminum.It is also a sweet running machine.The only non-Harley I ever owned was a 650cc BSA Lightning,which I trully enjoyed.If it were not for a local Drunk cutting me off,that bike would still be in my garage.

Dog - Check out the post from aal above. He owns the bike and is willing to take $8500 for it. I think it is a hell of a deal. Somebody should buy this bike from this poor fella! It would be a blast to buzz around locally on.
A buddy of mine has a BSA big single. Awesome bike.

Hell, I wish I had $8500 laying around! That's a kickass little bike! I love the Brit twins. First 'real' bike I ever rode was a BSA 650 Lightning, and I had one of the new Bonnevilles (Thruxton 900, actually) for a while. Having a Triumph chopper would be cool!
