Default New Stablemate! (and a Harley oddity)

Well, the 1970 Triumph T-100 Daytona that my Uncle had ordered before his passing finally made it into my hands today. Of course, I had to take her for a spin . He would be proud!

Here are some shots.










The vintage shop that the Triumph came from had this little Harley branded Italian scoot as well... Anyone have any info on this thing?

Triumph, wow brings me back to the late '60s, I had a couple of BSA's. Really kind of crude bikes compared to today, but still a great classic. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Very cool trumpet.

The HD was made by Aermacchi of Italy in the mid 60s. It was the model M50.

Lookin' at that brings back memories for sure. Used to putt around on a 1972 1/2 Bonneville. Believe me - that 1/2 did make a difference! Didn't even need a battery as long as it was tuned good. No, there was no magneto. Great machine.
