He's completely oblivious to how cool a 1973 cb500 is....

Hi Jon.

There's a bit of a trend developing here with SOHC Hondas and Hinckley Triumphs.  What better garage companions? 500/4 for sunny Sundays and a 955 triple for work.

Mine's a Sprint ST although it does have a Daytona 955 engine fitted.

Do you ride the Kwak much? My best man had one - problem was, he could never go very far from the nearest petrol station!

I love the Triumphs; what a great engine that modern triple is. I did notice several forum members with them. I pretty much like all bikes, but I do have a soft spot for the Hinckley Triumphs.

The H1 is down right now. It needs fuel lines, chain, and some other misc stuff. I decided it was time for a mild restore; paint, seat cover, etc. It justs sits quietly in the corner waiting it's turn...which just got a little longer because the CB500 quit the other day...
