Hello John and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum - Good bike the Tiger !!! Before anyone else arrives and starts to badger you - pics, we need pics of bike and car (Triumph????) PS A very long time ago - before Moses - I had first a Triumph Spitfire and then a Triumph 2000 with manual and overdrive on 3rd and 4th, if my memory serves me well. Then a 3ltr Stag with manual and overdrive.
Never mind the car, its got two wheels too many. You are blessed with one of the greatest bikes on earth! As if you didn't know. I know, you know, don't you know. Welcome and enjoy
Single..... Brain cell??? Count me in on that one Welcome to the Trumpet madhouse John. Glad you are enjoying ya first Triumph
Welcome John boy. Nice choice of motors. My first car was a yellow 'n black 'D' reg 1100 Herald I bought for pennies in '74 not long after passing my test (first time, six lessons, beggars belief these days). Soooo loved that car until it finally rusted around me. My last bike will be a Triumph too. Anyway, enuff of that, where the f are the photos? Blimey.
My cousin's like a big brother to me, so I always kinda followed him. Support the same footie team. He used to do the leather upholstery on Triumph cars. So I bought a Herald (not leathered-up though). Then he got sacked for allegedly swearing at a foreman (and in all my life I have never heard him utter a single cuss word). So he got himself an upholsterers job at Aston Martin in Newport Pagnal (he did the James Bond DB5), so I bought a ,,, nah, only kidding on that one.
Hi John and welcome to the forum Nice ride and drive you have there,,,,,,,,,,,I don't mean the concrete one
Love the Stag, nice car even today. Bike looks pretty good too,lol my ex father in law used to have a Herald some years ago, good little car, and very easy to work on. Oh the fun we had climbing up a stack of cars at the local breakers yard to get the rear suspension out to put on his car. Health and safety would have had a fit.
Hello John, yours is the same era as mine was, with the same alloy wheels and stainless sills. Would love to have another one So how are you getting on with your Tiger - they are pretty good aren't they?
