Yeah not sure on the blue levers, they came with it. I'll get looking for some stubby silvers
Show us your Triumph

Did you get the original tail lamp & indicator lenses with it?
The red tail lenses (if undamaged) fetch good money

Not too sure about highlighting "Metzeler" on a Triumph, but the rest of it is really nice! Great to see

For the moment, there's still three, but one of the oldies will be looking for a new home in the Spring...

Thank you very much, you've made my morning!
That one is a bit of a Marmite bike, especially when you consider it's a completely different colour on the other side...

It's darn difficult to photograph the Gold - being a candy colour it's entirely dependent on the lighting, the camera and simple blind luck on how well the picture comes out! The smaller picture of the side of the tank (roughly where my upper leg would rest) is closest to real life.
And this isn't a sticker, it's airbrushed and was copied from the original Tiger sales literature from the 1954 Tiger launch:

I tried to post a picture of the Latest Triumph in my stable !
But can't seem to get pic's to stick anymore !!
Its a 955i Daytona circa 2000 with 13k miles 3 owner beasty.
Moral of the story is don't sit on E bay under the influence of drink or you come over all patriotic
and find yourself buying a bike ;-)

Got this one a couple of months ago.
Hasn't been used in anger yet.

My newest " OLD" Triumph
Bought on a whim off E blag,
Its a bit quick ( prob toooooo quick for me So I won't be keeping it for long)
Something to play with in the garage over the long winter evenings BUT it sits nicely alongside the Thruxton
