I spent much of my youth on a brit bike. For most of the 80's my primary transportation was a 71 Triumph Tiger. In the later 80's and 90's I sold parts out of my familys auto parts store. You can get about any parts you need to keep one running from a number of vendors. Pick up a copy of Walnecks Cycle trader from a newsstand. Of all the bikes, including a 55 BSA, T160 Trident, a Royal Enfield Interceptor, Pre unit Triumphs ect, my all time favorite was a 68 Triumph Tiger. Other bikes were faster, or had a feature or 2 that I liked, but the single carb 650 Tiger was easiest to ride and maintain. Everybody says "Bonniville" when you say Triumph, but it's only good for about 10 mph faster on the top end. These days you can add electronic ignition(Boyer Branson) and electronic voltage regulator (mighty mite) and do away with the zener diode. All I have is Harleys now, I'll get another Triumph one day.
