This one has been lovingly cared for (I think not so much by the guy I bought it from but definitely before. Not a Triumph but a classic UJM all the same. Needs some fork seals and brake pads, but got it for well under NADA for one in this good of shape. I already ditched the plexi-faring. Better pictures once she has had a bath. Thom I might be wrong, I sometimes am.

(...oh, and erle...your GS is lookin' sweeeet, too!) Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
