Featured The Other Triumph

Lovely looking car, enjoy !

 

What a great looking car. Have lots of fun with it!!!

 

I was expecting knickers and bras

 

Oooh, that’s bloody lovely!

 

What a great new toy, @Wire Wheels! Have a grand time with it and please keep us posted on the freshening up process through the winter.

 

It needs wire wheels, Wire-Wheels

 

I like the TR6. The TR7 was an abomination. One drew up next to me and my dad as we were refueling a few months ago. It was in red. Very nice. I also like the Stag.
I can only look at them though as I can't get my legs in most of them and have difficulty closing the rag top over my bonce.
I did have a MGTF replica based on a Herald back in the day (Gentry). I sold it to buy a Spider. Not my best decision.

 

Ah, the Stag. What a lovely car.

 

Very nice

 

Lovely car, chap down the road had one and blew the head gasket on it within a month because he drove it like a modern car. Apparently the cause was a partially blocked radiator due to the cooling system being neglected. I saw a program called Wheeler Dealers on the Stag and they changed the rad for a new/re-cored one and after flushing the system through put antifreeze in it (is it a aluminium engine, which causes some of the problems around blocking the radiator because of different metal corrosion?) At least in California the bodywork should be good as the english climate makes them rot. I'll be interested to hear what you do to.it and your experience of ownership.

 

If I’m still riding at 78 I’ll be over the moon. Kudos to you.

 

Wire-Wheels.
Well its all been said mate. But once again what a beauty.

I’m only a couple of years behind you and two years ago bought a new Street Triple R which I’m loving. I must admit that the riding crouch on the Ducati gets me in the back of the neck after an hour or two.

 

@Baza, I have one word for you. Yoga! I just got back on the "yoga horse" a few months ago after not doing it for over three years between my bicycle accident and Covid closures. I can DEFINITELY feel the positive difference it makes in how I feel on my motorcycles--including my neck. Plus I can actually turn around to do a head check again.

I'm realizing that the physical activities and exercises I've done in the past 300 years--cycling, running, weight lifting, yoga--I did for racing, fitness, vanity, social connections. These reasons for my exercise routines have now paled in comparison to my primary reason--I want to be able to keep riding as long as I possibly can!

That said, @Wire-Wheels, I think it's awesome that you are returning to your first love AND that you are willing to listen to your good sense telling you the time is nearing to stop riding and start driving. I know my day will come and that I will be as objective and sensible as you.
