I've been bitten by the dreaded NBF bug!!!!
 

Well, not exactly "New" new, but new to me. Y'all have seen my basket '74 Trident in this thread, and I've collected a bit of parts and done a little work to it as $$$ allowed. Well, we've finally been able to crawl out of the "dead broke" hole, and I've started to restore it.

First things first, I spent about a day on Flea-bay bookmarking and bidding on all kinds of stuff. Then it happened................

I spotted................ THIS!!!

She's a 1972 Trident, non-matching number bike. It was listed at a buy it now price or best offer. The seller accepted my offer!! Bought it from a fella in Michigan, and it's on the transport truck as I type this. Scheduled delivery is for 2:00 tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

Believe it or not, I got the complete bike for a few hundred more than my local brit restorer had quoted me to do just the engine and transmission on my '74.

So, now I've TWO Tridents!

Dang!

WELL DONE!!!


Waiting anxiously for the ride report.................

Nice! Get ready to push it...

Hella Deal Steve! Enjoy reliving the past. I really like the air cooled front brake drum.
