I thought I should introduce my new toy. It is a Triumph 1300, two owners from new with 87,000 on the clock. It has never been welded and is pretty much original other than a re-paint last year. I think it may have had a bit of rust on the corner of the bonnet and on one rear door, but the rest of it looks very solid.
There are a few jobs to sort out. It conked out on the way home, which turned out to be dirt in the fuel line. It has had a replacement clutch, but the previous owner didn't realise it had to be adjusted once fitted, so with the pedal on the floor it is difficult to select first or reverse. There is a bit of an exhaust rattle and I would like to adjust the throttle as nothing happened for the first inch or so of pedal travel.
I want to give it a good clean and polish, but I will have to wait for the rain to stop before I can do that!
