The wife dun GOOD!!!!

[hatch]

On sunday, the wife and I hit the local antique festival here in Midland....It's usually half cars and stuff, with the other side being antiques and junk. Of course, she hits the garage sale area, and I go to the car side......the cell phone rings and it's her telling me "Theres a Triumph over here for sale".......I immediately haul ass over to check it out. Long story short....70 650 Tiger with 12.000 actual miles....original paint, etc. I traded a recently purchased 750 Honda and some cash....the guy delivered it to my house. It needs nothing and I probably won't even wash it. Needless to say, this one stays stock. Now I need her to find me a matching Bonneville!!!

Damn Hatch, I thought I was bad. You better start thinking about opening a dealership. ;) But that looks like a hell of a deal and a sweet low mileage bike.

[2xcrash]

Nice find !!! Hope the wife go something nice too ;)

[jabber]

hatch leaving a bike stock? I didn't know you could do that.

[JEB]

Nice catch! Are the other bikes eyeballin' the fresh paint? Don't keep em too close together. Wow, you owe mama a steak dinner for that find!

[TRIUMPH TERROR]

My gosh man you could S**t fall back in it and still come out smellin like a rose.LoL You must have one of those triumph magnets hangin round your neck,I need one of those.Wife does good better take care of her and do somethin nice.

Great find!!!!!!!

Wait....did you say its staying STOCK?!?!

Yeah sure....for how long?
:D

Congrats.....what a cool bike.

As painful as it would be , I have to agree with you man , that thing is cherry ! I would MAYBE change the bars , maybe not depending on what they felt like . . . but that thing is the perfect daily no bullshit / no hassle cruiser ! She deserves some new shoes or a new purse or whatever wives are into these days :)

Hell bro, it's all he has left to do. He has so many bikes, built so many different ways, leaving it stock is like the new version of customizing for hatch. :D

[hatch]

Welllll.....leaving it stock means not changing anything that can't be changed back.....I like the idea of changing the bars to something lower, and I have been checkin ebay for some reverse cone megaphones....but that is it......I GOTTA have some self control sometime in my life...(maybe!!):D

that one should be left alone,prices for OG un-molested brit-iron are sky rocketing so from a owner standpoint its good investment,nothing wrong with a few simple changes though,a boyer,norman hyde m-bars,and some avons would be in order,are you looking for full or shorty reverse cones? GS twitters also look great on anything as another option

cheers
