Greetings from Vancouver Island

Hi:
New to this board, so just wanted to introduce myself: long time year round rider here in the Pacific North Wet, a riders paradise. Presently have a 11 Tiger 800 ABS, bags, windshield and other goodies as my long distance ride and a 71 T100 recently built and on the road with all the good stuff done to it: Cerranis, Borranis, 60 over, hi-comp, big valves, ignition and hi output electrics. Plus a 54 Ford F100 Rat Rod under construction.... and the beat goes on....

ride on

Welcome to TT from Southeast Texas. You're gonna have to post some photos of the bikes and Rat Rod. Some of us here can't read and need pictures.

****EDIT**** Just saw the photos of the T100, nice scooter you have there. ****

Hello and welcome from the east coast

Welcome to the forum from the Sunshine State. Your T100 looks great. I have a 71 TR6 that I am slowly working on. Enjoy that 800; those Tigers are very nice bikes.

Hello and welcome to TriumphTalk from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA !!

Like the Tiger....LOVE the classic T100!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to you all for the welcome, the 71 T100 is my idea of a Steve McQ city sled from 1971.
Tried it with the baffled TT pipes but the noise was too much for the neighbors and local constabulary. Didn't like burning my jeans on the scrambler pipes so now its just right.
Now it runs great with the Pazon ignition which is MUCH better than the other aftermarket brand that quit after 1300 miles. The hi output alternator makes real volts not Lucas volts.
Light weight and sounds like you are going fast which is proof that reality shifts according to the ride.
Will post pics of the F100 and the T800

I am looking forward to the pics.

Yeah, a F100 and a T100 both hot rodded, old gear heads never die they just loose compression..................
