Purchased in 2007.

Garaged all of my ownership. I rode 551 miles since

purchase. Have not ridden since 2017 due to health

concerns.

All electrics work. New tires/tubes in 2014.New tube in rear tire 9/28/21.

Put new Amal Premier carb on in 2017. Haven't

started since then until 8/1/2021. Started first kick and idled

well. I have run her on the center stand 5 times with a total

of 12 miles. Going up and down gears a few times each

ride and between 30-45mph. I couldn't put the air filter

housing on as the new carb was a might too wide. I have

that as well as the original carb which I had to fool with

almost before every ride adjusting.

Runs excellent and shifts well. Brakes work well. *When I

first received cycle after taking a few rides with cycle

stopping very well I did a mild panic stop from 15 mph...the

front brake shimmied. I checked this on Triumph Rat site

and most advice I got was it was a complicated matter to

take apart to inspect and some as to not fool with it so I

didn't do that as I ride conservatively and a safe distance

from traffic. The center stand and side stand work well and

are strong. The seat latch does not latch as it should. It was

like this when I got it. Here is my regimen: close the

seat...pull the pin latch out and then push down a little and

put pin in. Then sit on the seat gently and it works well this

way. If you put too much weight getting on and it latches

completely you'll need a large screwdriver to gently pry it

open. The hole needs enlarged just a mite for the pin to fit

in easily. The top of the left rubber girder is torn...which I

noticed after about a hundred miles on or so? I have the

original key and had a duplicate made. The speedometer

works well as does the trip meter. The tachometer works

but the cable broke off where it attaches to the engine. Too

complicated for me to fix and never used it past 4500 rpm

anyway. Only had her up to 65mph one time. Broke in easy

with changing speeds every 5-10 miles. Added 1 ounce of

zinc additive with new oil changes. Have

always used Super-Tech 20w-50 regular oil. Put in new side

case gaskets and sealer when I got her as well as draining

and putting in new oils. Only a few leaks in all those years.

I always kept her spotless as well as the bolts and nuts cases

but hand pain has stopped that since 2017 but she

presents very well and sounds great. She is bored out 0.40"

over. I have always sold my machines as honest as this

write-up and never had any complaints. These included

many cycles/cars/mowers & other machines. I am an Eagle

Scout 1966 and am honest to a fault. If I was in the market

for a bike like this one I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this

one. It is a beauty. I now ride every week as my body allows. My

biggest ride of the 551 miles was 15miles one way...lunch

and 1 miles home. Other rides were between 5-10 mile

routes I had mapped out. Clean PA title. Insurance is

$112.00 a year with Hagerty insured for $8,000.

I still get a thrill just looking at her and now that I can still

kick her over. I've use 93 octane gas with a dose of Seafoam. The three pages on photos are from when I purchased my cycle on ebay...read that information. Shipping responsibility of buyer.

Thanks for looking at my cycle.
