Triumph Bonneville description

Up for auction is my vintage 1976 Triumph 750cc Bonneville motorcycle. This was a California bike of which the original owner passed away and this bike was unused and in storage for many years until a relative had it shipped to Minnesota. I have had it for 4 years and installed many new parts including a new $400 exhaust system that was manufactured in England. It has practically new Dunlop tires. Engine usually starts on first kick after tickeling the Amal carbs. Engine doesn't have any exhaust smoke. Transmission is tight and shifts properly. It has the stock points and condensers. Speedometer and speedometer also work. It has a clear Minnesota title with Classic license plates. I am selling it as I turned 75 years of age and gave up my motorcycle endorsement. Buyer to arrange for pickup at my residence and pay for shipping.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
