1978 Triumph Newbie

[Harper]

Hellow from Oklahoma. I am 61 years old and have been riding since I was 14. Owned most makes of bike during that period. I now have a Ural Gearup with sidecar and a 1961 BMWR69S. Recently purchase a 1978 Bonneville. It was last tagged in 1986 and has sat in a shed for the last twenty five years exposed to the elements. Motor, brake cylinders, calipers and carbs were frozen. Sad shape. I have broke loose everything and stripped to the frame. I am in the process of a complete rebuild. I have done this before and I almost like working on them as much as riding. I will send before, during and after pictures. I look forward to being a member.
Thanks Ron

Hey Ron and welcome to TriumphTalk from another '78 Bonnie owner from Pittsburgh.

We look forward to hearing about the rebuild process and we absolutely LOVE pictures. In fact, we have a saying here that without pictures, it never happened...LOL!

TT is a very friendly and helpful place...so by all means don't be bashful!
