Back on a Triumph

Hi FF, bit of a Triumph fan are we? Nice collection of bikes.

 

Nice!

And apropos of nothing, your user name reminds me of 1976 when I had a Honda 400F. You'll remember perhaps they had a kick start.

I went out one day and got to the end of the road went to put my foot down without realising the kickstart was inside my flares. Luckily there was no-one about to see me slowly topple over or struggle to get out from under the bike. Thankfully it wasn't that heavy and I was fired with adrenaline at that point anyway.

 

Ha! Nice bikes! Is that a Jawa or a CZ?

And talking of big hair back then.

This is me in 1977 (probably wearing THE flares) - me on the left. We must have been playing as it's the drummer on the right and I'm not sure we used to see each other outside the band.

 

Proper hair! Yes it was

My brother had a CZ with that weird kickstart. A pile of poo if I remember correctly.

 

Welcome back FF, 70's not my era, used to sit in bath to get my ice blue jeans to shrink to my legs..yes honest!!

Great pics, don't leave that bike in middle of the road too long

 

lovin those pics from the 70's - folkbloke's looks like a Lynyrd Skynyrd line up

great collection of lovely bikes flippin flares , I'm well jealous , whereabouts is you're caravan on the east coast , is it anywhere near Skeggy

 

ah yes , nice beach along there at sandy lands , and a bit further down at anderby creek . Is that a mk2 ford Cortina in the garage , that'd be worth a few quid now

 

Especially if it was a 1600E.
