Re: My 2 toys
Nice looking Triumph. Never rode a Trumpet but in my earlier years had a '52 Harley K model, 750 cc, think of an early Sportster to bring a pic to your mind. Going for the outlaw biker look I guess, LOL. Extended front end, no front brake, peanut tank, Z-bars, King & Queen seat, no mufflers, just drag pipes. Man, that thing sounded good at an idle and on the road!
When I cam back from 'Nam in '70 bought a '69 Mach 1. 351, 4 speed, buckets and console, gauges, rally wheels, metallic blue with black interior. Had just under 12K miles and gave $2,600 for it. Drove it for several years and traded it off, back then they were a dime a dozen, Mustangs on every block and street corner. Couldn't touch it today for $26,000, liking the '69s over the '70 Mach 1s.
Somewhere I have pics of both but would take me for ever to find them I'm sure.
