I owned my first Triumph 71 750 Tiger for 35 years, and I just bought Big Poppy last June 06 TBA if it lasts 35 years like my first one did I will be dead and this thread is no issue to me.
Big Poppy will never be owned by anyone but me as there is no way I could ever sell it. I have regetted selling the 71 5 minutes after the guy rode off on it. It's like your first love a day does not go by that I do not think about that bike and the places it took me. It was a loyal friend that never asked anything of me, but to take care of it and give it a safe warm dry place to sleep.
I remember the owner of Triumph dealership in Denver, CO. said to me when I bought the 71. Nothing better in this world than geniune BRITISH IRON.
Thats how I feel.
