I smell a cool cafe racer, but that's just me.

I love the old school original triumph motorcycle and not to be confused with today's triumph motorcyles. I love the old school cafe style motorcycle. Can't wait to see her all cleaned up.

Cool bike.
One thing tho your going to have to get use to the reverse foot controls mostly in a panic stop, your going to hit the rear brake and end up down shifting. Learned from experience on a Bulltaco Pursang.

I appreciate the concern. First I got to get her running, then I'll have to get used to the controls!!

You think the Triumph takes some getting used to, try an old '20's Indian Scout. Throttle on left grip, spark advance on right grip, hand shift, foot clutch, etc.

Now that took some getting used to, too!!
