    Just an idea - why not take a picture of any interesting or unusual bike you see - does not have to be a Triumph.
    Benelli 750 Sei and Tiger 100

    I had a share in a Benelli 900 sei back in the day, spent more time pulling the wires out than riding it!!

    Taken a few years ago. I took my old GS750 to the German GS Treffen held each year at different locations in Germany. Those GS1000's are gorgeous.

    I had a GS850G back in the day - and loved it. The Scrambler is surprisingly similar in terms of size, weight and shape, but I'm finding the Scrambler is a lot more playful ;)

    Old bikes that still get used are the greatest. I have a friend with an old BSA that he uses pretty much every day in all weathers. Not clean and shiny but has character

    But where to start... The JAP was photographed on the IOM promenade in 2007, the Triumph at the classic car show in 2007, the Charter Lea at the Lord Mayor's Show 2015 and the beautiful Ariel Square Four in Cerne Abbas in 2014...[ 006 1.jpg 28 June 09 001.JPG 2013-11-09-1102.jpg WP_20140519_027.jpg

    I spotted this in Lindau, Germany last year. Bit of a "bathtub" moped.
