Labour time wasn't too grim but I didn't have a lot of time to spend on it so end to end was three years. Stripped it right down to bare frame. Engine only needed a bit of tweaking (valve clearances, fitted pods so rejigged carbs. Had no plastics so I was trying to sort out the previous owners idea of a streetfighter, ie chuck away plastics, fit crappy cheap headlamps. Sounded awesome once I'd halved the length of the Scorpion can ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

Hey come on play the game, it's fucking 3degrees on a misty December, and your trying to show us pictures of blue sky Cypriot heat with bikes in hiding from the paintwork scorching sun.
I think the Triumph STR has a far greater case to be in the thread than you!

Unfortunately, we're slumming it in the UK at the moment, trying to keep warm like the rest of you, the bike on the other hand is still sunning itself! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Cheers ScardeyCat, I'm tempted to paint the wheels gold though, keeping them white is a pain in the arse!
She's looking good |

Up at the Bulldog 2014, bike would trundle 150 miles to the track, go on to lay a 10.00 1/4, 15 times down the track, take me to Stratford to get some OJ, then trundle back 150 miles down the road to home. Chap on the left is my good friend Slim, would end up being killed not long after this in a freak bike accident in Portugal... He will/is being sorely missed. I'm the twat on the right...
