I've had a couple dozen British bikes over the years.Only two Triumphs though.BSA's,Nortons,AJS,Ariel,Matchless.Lots of BSA's.I still have a 58 A-10 in the shed,last registered in 1982.I put new tires on it the last time I registered it,and it never even left the yard. In 1977 I bought a 41 or a 46 EL,(61 inch) that was an untouched bike.Stored dry,only the leather was aged.I paid $1600.for it back then.I kind of snaked it out from under all the other buyers that were insisting they needed to hear it run first.I paid and hauled it away.I bought it from the original owner that had parked it around 1960.
