The bike had been restored to show standard (in street scrambler style). It would have been a shame to spoil the looks with those ugly ES parts. I’d have snapped it up myself if I had room in the garage.
Anyway, long gone to a new owner who kept it in his dining room!
My friend’s other bike is a more modern Triumph Bonneville which he’s similarly turned into a show standard bike. Sadly, due to his other health issues he’s now thinking it’s probably time to hang up his helmet and concentrate on his vintage MG style home built car.
