1983 Triumph T140W 750 TSS; 8 valves & electric start!

[mikechev]

Well the other Mike, a TSS and a Jubilee! standard T140's not good enough for you eh?

Nice pair of Bonnies sir.....

 

[Mike]

Goodness gracious me (or Bleedin' 'ell!) if you prefer - over here there's up to about £5500 (thats about half your quoted price).

Nope, they aren't Norton forks. Not sure if Norton and/ot Triumph actually built thier own forks, but they both used Girling shocks for many years. I wouldn't doubt it if Girling built thier forks to spec as well...

Oh, I've got a couple of those too - a1977 UK model in blue and white, and a 1980 electric start in grey and red, I expect you'll want pics of them too?

Supply and demand. Now Mike, if you fill a container with them, send them over here, we could flood the market and they would be cheep as chips. We could all afford one over here then.

Here you go...

Very nice, Mike. You have an impressive stable.

 

[otherwise]

Very nice bikes.
Is the last one (silver tank, red flashes) standard paint? I've never seen one that colour before, I like it.

 

[Triumph Tom]

Never saw them wheels, at 1st glance I believed them to be IDENTICAL, upon future inspection you have less spokes.. What type of wheels are they? And lastly do you thing you could bolt the cylinders on any ole unit twin? Or is there an aftermarket head co that makes 8 valve heads?

 

[Triumph Tom]

Yes the paint is extraordinary! I usually dislike that type tank but you have a truly appealing paint scheme, that may not work as well on a typical tank, but aint that the best part? chooose your fav!!!
where is this barn?

 

[Triumph Tom]

Sorry Im new was trying to post on the Triumph TSS w/ the mags....

 

[Sea Dog]

Four very nice Bonnevilles. Lovely collection! I do like the grey / red paint scheme on the ES. Very attractive.

 

[Triumph Tom]

where can you get a decent pair of headers and dunstalls for a 79 Bonny?

Check out British Spares (New Zealand) website. They definitely have the Dunstall mufflers.

Hey Mike, just a thought. Would it be too much to ask....Could you write up a comparison of your Bonnevilles? It would be extremely interesting.

Cheers

Just finished with the polishing cloth and tooth brush. One TSS ready for this weekends classic bike show. This year we are celebrating 110 years of Triumph Motorcycles. Should score some brownie points for being the last model to be produced at the Meriden factory. Did a big promotion of the bike show this year. TV, radio and all last weekend at the major shopping center in town, which attracted a lot of interest. Expecting between 100 - 120 classic bikes.

Photos of the final product after its annual polish.



Cleaned the Tiger while I had the urge.
