Triumph Trident description

I will probably regret it but it time to thin a herd a bit as I have a bad back and don't ride much anymore so I will start with my 74 Triple. Frame and engine numbers match.  About 3 years ago I had the cylinders honed with new rings and the top end gone through. It was painted in the last 3 years along with new chain, fork seals, decals, brake hoses, rebuilt caliper and master cylinder, Tri-Spark ignition (no points) , Venhill clutch cable, plug wires etc. Seat is original as are the Dunlop K81 TT100 tires which are not dry rotted . I wouldn't drive them on the highway just in case but the original crowd make like them. I just put some fresh gas in it and it starts fine. One of the issues with the crappy gas these days is that the idle passages get gummed up and you have you have to do the .016 drill bit thing since the gas is such crap. It's on a clean NY title. I'm located in Charlotte , if you want a NC title in my name it will cost you $100 if memory serves me correctly.
This bike is almost 40 years old and is sold as-is and where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Seriously, if you are bidding on this bike you know what you are buying. Shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the seller and I will hold the bike for a reasonable period of time once paid for.
Note that I replaced the left side fuel line today after the old one started leaking so it won't match what's in the pictures.

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.
