Bike is very reliable and turns heads wherever you go. Feel free to ask any questions this bike this bike is over 40 years old and does require somebody who knows Triumphs. This bike is very reliable and does fire up most all the time on the first kick and has had about 1000 miles on it since completed. The bike comes with a side stand for when the bike is parked in the garage. I use the kicker pedal as a stand when out riding. For those that dont trust that can purchase a bolt on kickstand. Again the bike is over 40 years old and the only thing I can say bad about it is that is does leak oil. Some people say that is normal for a old Triumph. I never owned one so I cant say its normal. The engine case above the chain has also been repaired where the Chain broke and slapped the case. Pretty common I have been told. The bike is a ton of fun to ride and I hate to get rid of it just dont have room and need money to fund my next bike.
