Hi Everyone,
Been hitting this site for a week now and gotta say I'm impressed. Great people, great bikes and good advice can't be beat. I started riding at 14 years old. That was 39 years ago. Had about a zillion bikes from 175 Lambretta Scooter, CB450, GT380, XS650, Gold Star BSA, 1100 Sabre, to a Gold Wing. Those were the good ones I also had some less memorable. Today my stable includes a 1976 KZ900 LTD, a 1977 KZ650B1, a KZ550 LTD a GT750 Buffalo and a Triumph Trident 750. I was a mechanical engineer/designer until health forced me out. Today I tinker with motorcycle restoration. My brother has taken to motorcycles in the past 5 years and we have been getting the local bikes that are in need of TLC. Bring them back from the brink and sell them for little or no profit. <GRIN>

Yeah that is me and "No Aqualung jokes!"

Aww, man, am I the only one who gets the Jethro Tull reference? :blink:

Anyway, welcome! I'm guessing from the vintage of your other bikes that that Trident 750 is an older bike? My daily rider these days is a Trident as well, but it's a Hinckley 900.

Cheers,
-Kit

Hi,
The Aqualung reference is from the 70's group Jethro Tull. I guess it could be a sort of Neptune thing. I WAS a Advanced Diver under PADI. But it is more like Tull if you ask me.
My Triumph is a 1972 with 9,000 miles on it. It has the beauty kit which makes it look like a Bonnie. I'm not sure if it would be in the best of taste to post a pick here or not so I'll refrain.
Sure is fun saving the old scoots from the scrap heap. Pretty soon someone's gonna have to save me from the same thing.<grin>
I did post my Kawas in the gallery. But here is the 650 again.
