    It has been a dream of mine to own this motorcycle for a very long time. Well, today is that day!! It belonged to my uncle and has bee nsitting in his garage for MANY years and you can probably tell. Let the restoration begin!!!

    1979 Triumph Bonneville T140D Special!

    Welcome, Dwayne.
    Lucky sod!!
    It appears to be 'all there' and much of it seems that it will respond to a good polishing although I would guess that much of the chromework is beyond saving (fork stanchions for example). Enjoy bringing it back to life! Hopefully there will not be too many gremlins lurking in there.
