Classic Bike Owners on PH???

[v15ben]

Just wondering who on the site has a classic bike to use on those nice sunny days we get every now and then.

I will start the ball rolling with this:
www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/profile.asp?h=0&memberId=31934

A 1961 Norton Dominator Type 99 - 600cc in Silver/Black.
Great bike which was restored over Winter/Spring 2003/04. Currently has around 44k on the clock and is used sparingly when the weather is kind!!

So what classics does anyone else here ride and what can you tell us about them??
Always interesting to find out about what is out there

Well not really a classic but my trusty old Suzuki Bandit turned 10 yrs old in 2005

Always wanted to own a 1949 Sunbeam S7 De Lux tho, despite is failings ive always liked the look of 'em, tho never ridden one which I expect would be a bit of a a shocker!

A Honda RC30 in Rothmans colours will one day grace my garage too.

[BSA 500]

BSA A7 500CC Racing green ridden every day to work.Has the alloy head,oil filter kit,ally rims and 12 volt halogen light conversion.Lots of other bits as well,back on the road last summer after a couple of disasters.After one rebuild timing slipped boiled the oil and cracked the crank.Replaced the crank and rode down the road then the oil pump failed cue mashed timing side bush.

1971 Triumph TR250W (250 Trophy)

Not quick, but looks nice and it's good fun. Was restored completely 3 years ago (at vast expense by previous owner for some reason) and is still in great condition, but I only do about 400 miles a year on it.

1968 TR6 650 Trophy.... Anyone want a half finished restoration project?

[lockhart flawse]

Bimota SB4 which I am looking to get rid of if anyone is interested?

Ahh just what I was looking for!

'Er indoors has had a 1963 Triumph 5TA since she was 16.

Its been sat in her mums back garden for the last 6 or 7 years and next weekend we are going to rescue it.

Can anyone recommend:

A spokesman, as is someone who can true a wheel/replace spokes

A vintage triumph parts supplier

A manual of some sort because I am going to get roped into this I can see it...
