New project for pidjones - a Triumph this time

[jonesn7]

Bought a '72 Triumph T150V (Trident 5 speed) in need of a lot of parts and work. Plan is a resto-mod. Should keep me occupied for a while.

This will be a major project. Water in the crankcase and primary cover. At least the gearcase had just oil in it. So many misding parts. I'll spend much more on ebay than I paid for it. It will be a retromod with more modern electrics, but classic style.

When I was in High school in the early 70's, I wanted a Bonneville so bad!!
Comparing those old bikes to todays rocket ships, they have come a long way baby.

Those Norton twins were in high demand in the late 60's -early 70's as I remember.
