Triumph Tiger description

Up for auction is my 1971 Triumph Tiger chopper its a flat black naked ratrod chopper.

 The good:

Clear Virginia Title in my name, it runs ok but could use a tune up because I haven't ridden it much, maybe new plugs and a carb cleaning, it wet sumps if it sits too long but most british bikes do! It has a boyer electronic ignition, nice 21" ribbed spool front wheel, A nice 10" over springer,custom rigid frame, and nice spiked forward controls.

The bad:

It has a shifting/trans problem that I'm tired of messing with, it feels like it only has 3 out of 4 gears. Hence, the low,low,low starting bid. It could use plugs and maybe a carb cleaning.

This is a comfortable ride for a rigid frame old Triumph, and Ive ridden many. Ask questions before you bid!!! And know what youre buying before you bid!!! I am an honest ebayer, you can check my feedback. There are no warranties implied or given and is being sold as is with no returns. I will not ship!!! You can send a truck to my house and I will help load it up, or you can come by and pick it up. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements!!

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
