    Hey guys and gals! I'm a motorcyclist with a few hundred thousand miles and a few dozen prior bikes to my name. I currently ride a BMW F800GS and recently traded a BMW R100/7 for a Triumph Sprint-converted cafe racer:

    Greetings, @bobloblaw, and welcome to the forum. What a great little cafe racer you've got there. And a cool photo, too. Is this your first Triumph? More photos are always welcome! Hope you enjoy the forum.

    @Sandi T , yep, first British bike for me!

    I've been through the gamut of the more common manufacturers in the US, and after working with the '77 BMW, am starting to become more comfortable delving into the less modern/"mainstream" vehicles, so looking forward to new experiences!

    @Geoff Butler Yep, CRK kit. This bike was lovingly assembled by @Vecchio lupo

    Traded him a rider project that is better fitting of his handiwork for a full restoration:
