Hi from Perth Western Australia

[67Tiger]

Hi to all members,

I am new to the scene and new to vintage Triumphs.

I have been fortunate to come across two Triumphs in a shed on a country property under a sheet of canvas covered in dust and straw.

After we uncovered the bikes, they turned out to be a 1967 Tiger and 1976 Bonneville.


The Tiger unfortunately has a 1963 3TA motor so not matching to frame but in very good condition.
The lady owner has had the bike for nearly 40 years and brought it from the UK when she emigrated 15 years ago and it hasn't been ridden since.
The 3TA motor was already in the bike when she bought it.

The 1976 Bonneville has matching numbers and complete.
This belonged to her husband who bought here in Australia, but hasn't been ridden due to back injury and has been in the shed for 12 years.

As I'm new to restoration I will be asking advice from seasoned veterans'
Bear with me

I have attached photo's

Cheers

Glynn

Hi Texas,

Thanks,

I know Texas fairly well as I spent over three years flying in and out for work based in Houston'
I follow the Long Horns, and love the great Texas hospitality and fly my Texas flag along side my Aussie one.

I wish I was building a bike over there, as the price of parts are so much cheaper.
