Hi Dan

Loverly bike

Hi there Dan,

that is a minter...... I would be paranoid riding the thing though especially in the UK's shitty weather conditions. That would have to be a sunny Sunday machine me thinks.

Welcome mate.

Thanks guys, the dep exhaust isn't looking quite so shiny any more, i love the bike, so much fun on the twisty roads.
Just bought a '69 Triumph Bonneville T120R, waiting for some good weather to take them out!

welcome to the forum ,really nice bike but i cant see the tyres been much cop off road

welcome to the site!

Wooahh, very nice Triumph! Always wanted somet like that for about 20 years but always beyond my means. If i had one id just look at it, an rev it lots. Id be too scared to ride the beaut. Have you any pics of it?

Heres a couple of pics of the Triumph, not very good pics as it's hardly stopped raining since i bought the thing!

Random question for everyone - since i have had the bike i have never been able to get the lock to open/close on the back of the bike (think its a helmet lock).
I have both original honda keys yet the lock is solid, have even tried squirting with gt85.

Did honda use a separate key from the ignition - for this lock?

these locks and similar fitted to other hondas are all the same.......i usually soak them in wd40,rockeze or good old diesel, paraffin or even white spirit. then keep trying them at random.they open eventually.then a good and regular dollop of "gold grease"usually keeps them working.
it seems that the alloy body and plated chrome shaft do not make the best of bed fellows.

Is that a Riley Elf? BB.

That Triumph is ruddy bootiful!! You fancy a swap for a Husaberg FS650?

Looks like ya got land of the rising sun gates to match the CRM

Yeah it's my mothers elf, not a bad example, previous to us it was family owned for all it's life by an old lady who passed it on to her grandson when she died.

I prefer the mini my self but mums happy with it
