My '72 Spitfire was quite reliable once I got it on the road. Of course I had to do some work on it as it had been sitting in a old lady's garage for 15-20 years and she was using it to store her potted plants (NOT pot plants!). Any work I did afterwards was usually directly proportional to my mechanical stupidity.
The only support I'll give to the rant is about expenses. Original Triumph parts can be quite expensive. I didn't have the money and normally used headed on down to the salvage yard to shop. FYI, Fiat and MG parts match up pretty darn well!
2005 America, green/gray, gutted stock pipes, tall sissy bar w/ luggage rack, Saddleman's dual touring seat and Tourmaster saddlebags (and sissybar bag).
