Cut and Paste bores the shit out of me

No Haha Sach Kind of similar, but my mantra is....If I can't remember it, it never happened

Or a spider from mars

My wife and her pals are off to see it tonight, then the pub

And they say the camera never lies

Yip, I also use verniers. Good tip about tippex. I tend to click the bike into 1st gear and spray liberal amounts, wasting most of the chain lube

Haha, I read that as ...can be GROUCHED off......

Maybe it is an albino and doesn't like the sun

Was that the film about going over the Alps on elephants

Funnily enough, I didn't watch it.....But I do like Chris Evans from his days on channel 4s the Big breakfast and then Virgin Radio, and what that has become in Absolute Radio. So I think Chris Evans is an alright guy

Hulu??

Fantastic result today Bud. Hope you had a great day out

I refer my learned friend to my earlier question

In those days you just abandoned the bike and stopped paying the 'never never'

Heres a 5Ta with the bathtub and Nacelle . And just to muddy the waters, what about this beauty, early 70s but still a 500

There were a number of 500s going around. The same engine just a different level of tuning (it's all relative). The T100 is a 500 Tiger ( in various guises T100A, T100SS, T100) Those models went from 1960 - 1966 Other T100 models from 1966 - 1972 The 5Ta replaced the 5TSpeedtwin in 1959 and this was the first year of the Unit Engine (prior to that there was a separate engine and gearbox) The 5Ta lasted until 1966 The 3Ta (350) went from 1957 - 1966 The T90 was a 350 Tiger, basically a tuned version of the 3Ta and ran from 63 - 66 The 5Ta and 3Ta are probably the least expensive of the above model, but you'll still pay between £2.5k and £5k depending on condition. One problem is folk spend £ks restoring these bikes and then look to recoup all their money back...as we all know it doesn't work like that Some folk believe the 500 Triumph twin was the best of all their engines as it was less stressed so more reliable. The 650 and 750 models were basically just rebored 500s so had more stresses on the engine My 59 5Ta should have the bathtub and nacelle (headlamp cowling) but as I say these were junked back in the day so it is in the style of a T100 When I bought it Now

Yea, on the larger bikes 350, 500 and 650s, they were called bathtubs. Not a great success at the time and most were junked, subsequently they now go for funny money. Likewise a Sports cub or mountain cub. A lot of 'no interest in bikes, but it's an investment' type of folk have jumped onto the Classic market, hence the price of auld bikes (including classic jap bikes) has rocketed. Around 5-10 yrs ago you could have picked up a Tiger cub for around £300-500 now your talking £1k for a rough one Another thing is the year. 1964. Two years ago I was turning 50 and as a gift to myself I wanted a bike registered on my birthday 21/04/64. I had planned ahead and spent about 2 years before this date looking for one with no success, but I also noticed that there weren't too many 64 (B Reg) bikes generally If you head over to Britbikes forum you'll get a load more info and help http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=4&page=1

Great story Bipps, ours is 20 months old, so plenty of time to get her some fun back
