No. Should be plenty of units still about though, highly recommend fitting one.

Have you ridden a T140? Might be a bit slow but you can't help grinning!

I have a 79 T140E, have also owned a T140V and T100T Daytona 500. If they are fitted with Boyer Bransden electronic ignition they can't kick back on starting. Mine has the hardened valve seats and has to run on the super unleaded otherwise it 'pinks'. Triumph Owners Motorcyle Club has a monthly maga...

And so have I......had enough children that is! Time for another kind of painful operation perhaps.

Had my ear pierced at sixteen, dad went mental, bless him.

Don't fancy it anywhere else though, oldest daughter walks around like a scrapyard she's got so many, I dread to ask.

....that Raven is the name given to the EF-111A electronic warfare aircraft?

Not sure where this is going but we seem to be learning a lot about Ravens tonight.

Jesus! Think the moderator is a traffic warden in his day job. One forum I visit (RC groups) has a section where the members plead to be let back in or have warning points removed, often read that when I'm bored.
