if obama wants to go to sturgis for rally

[SwampG8r]

i will lend him my 66 tr6r
its a classic
overbored for extra zoom
fully chopped but old school
i always get major respect from the biker elites
and if what mrs swampg8r says i true (all the vibration flows to the tailseat)
mrs obama will like it too!


not my bike but damn close!

1. Triumphs are SO COOL!

You have great taste, swampg8r! Dylan agrees.

4. i have all the gaskets and seals and stuff to do a full top end rebuild right now

im gonnapull the crank and clean the gunk out and powder coat the frame
theres only like 25 parts in one so i can do it in 2 days
i love this bike my wife saw an ad and got it as a surprise because i had a bsa royal star 650 i had to let go because i couldnt get parts for it :cry:
its a 1966 tr6r tiger but its been done over with an early daytona style top end with dual carbs
very fast
scary fast
had a lot of trouble until i enlarged the oil storage so i may add an oil cooler to it while its down
fonzie rode a triumph first
brando rode one in the wild one
i love my limey iron

11. Uh, okay --

I said I like Triumphs, but that doesn't mean I get what you're talking about when it comes to enlarging the oil storage, but thanks for sharing. :eyes:

Tell your wife she ROCKS! How cool that she got that for you!!

My brother had a 650 (is that right?) about 35 years ago.
