HI ! A GOOD STORY COMES WITH THIS BIKE ! So in 1967 my friends dad gets posted in england with his wife . they fly over and go straight to the triumph factory in meridian england .he pays cash for a 1967 triumph T120R and rides away wife on the back .they do trips all over england and europe in to the early 1970s when they ship the bike back to sanoma CA he used the bike now and again till 1977 when a tarp was put on it ! now the tarp is off and we have a generous patina ! When you look at the bike you can see none of the nuts have been turned or hacked on it's quite amazing ! inside the gas tank is like new (i have been offered $500 for the tank) and the oil tank is in the same shape . clock's are good showing 16.000miles and it has all the original buttons and bits . there is a after market oil filter to prove that someone loved the bike .all the levers work (clutch. front brake back brake) original head light rear light with lucas lense ! I cant say enough good things about this bike . I love it and would not part with it but i have a TR6C in the same shape and condition and that is my life bike i will never sell ( I get more compements looks and talks about my TR6C then any other bike i have ever owned people love that patina ) a new set of tires and free the motor off and she will be riding again ! i could part her out and make more $$$$ but that's not what this is about is it ! If i can make a buck and put a fantastic bike back on the road life is good ! she's 47 years this coming year so lets do the right thing and put her back on the road where she belongs ! If you want her for parts don't bid ! ( THERE IS A CONDITION OF SALE THAT WHEN SHE'S UP AND RUNNING I GET TO HAVE A GO ON HER ) IF YOU NEED ME TO SHIP HER IT'S NOT A PROBLEM GOOD LUCK On Dec-30-13 at 13:43:21 PST, seller added the following information: OK I HAVE JUST GOT THIS FROM A VERY KIND MAN AT THE TRIUMPH OWNERS CLUB .
