Oh yeah, it's here now too. Brother in law and his dad dropped it off this morning. It's a well ridden old bike that doesn't give the first impression of being any worse than just well used though. Not all beat up.
Last tag on it dates to 1984. So no telling how long since it's actually been run. Tires dry rotted but they hold air for a couple hours. Bike came with a couple new tires. No reason to put them on yet though. Cool red and black striped seat. Cracked through down each side but eventually it'll have to get recovered in its original pattern. It's a cool seat. No broken brake or other cables (though the front brake cable is frayed).
All the brakes at least function. Though my left foot would have have a hell of a time remembering where that rear brake is while it was yelling at my right foot to "shift you idiot, shift!" Harness isn't mouse eaten but someone has been in to it before. So it will get some TLC and careful reconnaisance before being trusted too far.
Unfortunately it looks like it was stopped being ridden when someone couldn't get it running a bunch of years ago. Found a note in it saying had changed points then mag and "a few other things" but still can't get it to run. It'll fire and spit a bit. But that's all. Given the time since anything has moved well on it will have to count on starting at the tank and carb and working downhill until it's all been refreshed. Then will try to kick it over again and see what happens.
Brother in law is more patient than I. Me, I'd already have a parts order done. First thing he's ordering is a Triumph t-shirt. Then he'll get around to parts "sometime later." It's going to such having this thing here to mess with at someone else's desire
