    Hi riders. I have been hanging around this site a couple of weeks. Don't think I have introduced myself though. I have had Triumphs for 17 years. I own three old Hinckley Triumphs. I am located in the Mohave Desert area of Southern California (U.S.). I am a retired Stationary Engineer and ex-auto mechanic. Been turning wrenches on one thing or another all my life. ...J.D.

    95 Sprint-2.jpg
    My old Sprint. Probably pretty common in the UK. Not a lot of them over here. This one has 6 piston calipers, Race Tech re-worked front forks, re-jetted carbs and modified airbox. Micron slip-on's and more. Owned it since 2002. ...J.D.

    Welcome to the family. You know the early sprints are thinning out over here aswel. And one in as good a condition as yours is a real collector. You have made nurseys job lighter tonight with those pictures. All the inmates will behave while ogling them.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy
    Joe.

    Thank you all for the kind words. Just an old "blue collar" gearhead trying to spend his union pension. Ride safe everyone. ...J.D.
