    Hi
    New to the Triumph forum, been riding motorbikes since about 1965, learned to ride on a 1952 Matchless, was given a 1952 AJS that I proceeded to wreck riding around the farm, a few more AJS and Matchless singles and a 500 twin, an ES2 Norton/Aerial special, Aerial Red Hunter 350, 1958 Dominator 99, T120 Triton, Manx Norton, another Triton, then a break from motorcycles, keeping only the Manx. Until late 1990s.
    Now have too many,
    • 1951 TR5 I am rebuilding, 1969 T100R still sourcing parts for, 1975 Trident engine I am fitting into a T140 oil in frame, 2004 Sprint ST 955i,
    • 1955 Manx Norton,1963 Norton 650SS, 1972 Norton Combat,
    • 1967 there about Suzuki TR250, two 1974 GT750s,
    • 1991 ZX10 Kawasaki (fitted with a ZZR 1100 engine), and a 1993 ZZR 1100
    I need to reduce the number of bikes, no wonder I have no room.
    Two mates and I just completed a an 11 day ride covering close to 1500 klm, this is why the modern to me Sprint ST.
    I am Australian and reside in NSW Australia.
    What do I ride, whatever I feel like, as well, as what is going at the time.
    Best Regards
    Burgs
