shakariThey look bloody nice mate but my only problem is my legs are too short for the feet forward seating position.

ddrhooknot if your leave the old style running board type foot pegs on and a old style rocked shifter. It works great with my leg!! since I don't have an ankle
look at the board on the red one your legs would work on those! I had a girlfriend with short leg and she could shift it

shakariHuvis,
Very nice indeed..... and funnily enough, I know someone who has one those for sale at the moment. It needs restoring though.
I've gotta say that I've always had a soft spot for the Indians.

muzzaHere's a pic of my 1952 BSA B33 plunger-framed classic. Was originally a local bike racers grass tracker but has been rebuilt from the ground up basically ,a rider restoration rather than a concourse build.
I tell people its a sedate gentlemans cycle , and I am neither sedate nor a gentleman .The assortment of boys arent mine tho - my small boys school buddies who all think its pretty neat having a ride on an old bike.
I have a 1981 Honda CX500C and a 1989 Honda GB400TT as well but you dont want to see stuff that modern do you ?

shakariHere's a few that a friend of nine owned until a year or two ago.
He died unexpectedly and his widow sold the lot and went back to the UK.
I was away when the sale happened but if I'd known she was selling up, I'd have bought the Triton for sure.
