Hey Bud, looks like you're gonna have some fun bringing that back to life. Wish I had one to build. Love those old Triumphs.

Damn I was dying for a Norton Commando back in 74-75 but couldn't possibly afford one! Triumph looks like a lot of fun and many frustrating searches for parts. I rebuilt an old 240z once and lord I will never do it again. Had so much money into that car and it still looked like crap and needed body work, but a nice ass interior in perfect condtion. Sold it for a huge loss and never looked back!

Boy that "Trumpet" brings back memories...back in the day late 60's early 70's I remember riding a Rickman Triumph racing Motocross at Indian Dunes and Lyons Motocross Raceway. One of the 1st 4-cycle Motocross machines

Hey Conn,
Suprisingly the bike looks like it is mostly is complete. Doesn't seem to be a lot of missing parts from what I can see.
Great looking project man...
