......and we're back

Champion Bipps. I was looking at a 1200 Thruxton a few weeks ago and if the salesman had been on the ball, I would have walked out 11k in debt (2017 model) Luckily for me he didn't come near, and just as well because I had to replace my car last week Gobippsgo

Welcome back bud

Hi Gaz, welcome to the forum. There are a few FJ owners on site so the knowledge is here

Great story Bud. Welcome to the forum Reference photos. Log into Postimage.org and it is free and easy to load images from there

I own a Triple..... Haha, that aside, I went into my mates garage last week and he has a collection of bikes there. Sitting pretty was an XS 850. I'll grab a pic next time i'm in

Brilliant mate, well done. I felt the exact same when I picked up my Trident....38yrs I waited and it was worth it, as I hope it is for you

Sorry to hear that bud. Hope the recovery is going well

Sledge Hammers are your friends, oh and Fire, they love fire

1) So fk, don't lose any sleep over it, that is his concern 2) So fk, nothing to do with you......If you were top bidder then some explaining, but as you were outbid then, again fk em and the chap refusing to speak with you, so fk, fk em One will come up, or I can point you in the direction of a few Triumphs I know for sale

I don't use photobucket since they tried to hold us all to ransom a while back Postimage.org is my preferred hosting site

You're calling yourself 'Canada' but where in the world are you. This info will help folk offer suggestions

Have you tried a new plug. Yours may be sparking outside the engine but failing under load. Doubt it will be the kill switch as you wouldn't get a spark inside or outside the engine Probably better sticking a battery in place to give it a boost

No but I know a few crooks called Mick.....None from Durham tho

I'll give you £100 to take it off your hands. No more stress or worry mate, you know it makes sense
