1978 Triumph Bonneville

T140EXXXXXXX

Clear

ONE OWNER CLASSIC!!! THIS TRIUMPH WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 1978 BY AN ARTIST WHO DROVE IT ONLY A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE HE WAS RELOCATED OVERSEAS. HE THOUGH HE WOULD BE GONE ONLY A COUPLE YEARS BUT WAS GONE FOR OVER 20!!! THE BIKE WAS STORED IN HIS BUILDING AND HAS NOT MOVED SINCE 82, THE BEST PART IS HE DRAINED THE TANK AND CARBS BEFORE LEAVING AND OILED THE CYLINDERS@!!! THE GAS TANK IS BONE DRY AND CLEAN, CARBS SLIDES MOVE FREELY, ENGINE TURNS OVER. BIKE HAS ORIGINAL TOOL KIT AND OWNERS MANUAL AS EXPECTED. GREAT BIKE TO RESTORE OR JUST BRING UP TO SNUFF AND DRIVE AS A SURVIVOR. THE MUFFLERS ARE RUSTED OUT AT THE TIPS FROM SITTING, THE PAINT HAS FADED AS THEY DID ON THESE LATE T140'S I WIPED OFF THE FRONT FENDER AND THE CHROME LOOKS GREAT, THE WHEELS ARE JUST DIRTY. THE BIKE WAS IN TEXAS ITS WHOLE LIFE SO MOST OF THE SCUM ON THE BIKE IS JUST DIRT AND MUD DAWBER WASP NESTS, MUCH OF THE CHROME WILL POLISH OUT NICELY. WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. SOLD AS IS NOT RUNNING USED 35 YEAR OLD CYCLE
