The last minute was the best, no music and a nice triumph triple snarl. I miss my pair of 72's.

Might be just the light or some old yellowed plastic on that master cylinder, but methinks he's due for a brake fluid change....

I'm just curious, where did that bike come from? There was a similar Trident tearing up the coast side roads near Pescadero.

Nice video, I haven't had ride on a triumph yet. I hope later I can purchase even at least an old model. I've also heard that triumph parts aren't expensive. anyway nice vid :)

I had one of those T160s and I loved it. I was reckless and running away from cop cars - until my 11th chase landed me in jail. So I sold it and swore I'd never buy another bike. That worked until I talked someone into giving me an old Atlas I found in an alley. I tweaked the Atlas and ended up roadracing. Now I've got my fill and can ride in a legal manner.

The 75 Trident is in my top ten favorite motorcycles. The sound they make at full song is beautiful! The clutch sucks. :roll:
