And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yep, shifter on the opposite side of most is the first thing that I noticed. Early 60s Tiger maybe. Hard to get used to and better have a good grip. Clutch is stiff to pull back.
I think the only Matchless twins were made with Atlas tooling after Norton bought them, then shuttered them. Too bad - the big Matchless singles were great hoary beasts.
nice triumph. dingle down tube in the front and bolt on hard tail. somebody did a nice project.

ReplyDeleteYup. Those British did know how to make good looking engines. Still do, actually.
ReplyDeleteMatchless, the M and the wings on the engine should have red enamel paint.

Had a '72 Triumph 250. Nice riding but not quick like the japasakis and such.
