    Default 1974 Trident & 1969 Trophy

    I know this is an old thread, but its just what I was searching for.

    I've had the black bike since 2001 & just got the red one up and running last year.

    1974 Triumph Trident ~ 750cc Triple (T150)



    1969 Triumph Trophy ~ 250 Single (TR25W)

    Talk about waking the dead.

    I know. They are pretty old bikes...
    You should have seen the '69 when I got it! It was all rusted to hell.

    I'm talking about the thread, how deep did you have to dig to find it?

    It is an older thread but at least he made good use of the search feature. As long as good, relevant discussion is added, which it was, I don't see anything wrong with using an old thread.



    My '91 Honda Nighthawk 750. I got her in spring of 2007 with a little over 8k miles.

    Eville, did I say anything about his reply not being valid or wrong-headed? No, I was simply commenting on how old the thread was. As someone who has been around for a long time on the board it's always funny to see in the "New Posts" a thread with a couple pages and an original poster who is not recognizable at all, all of a sudden show up, only to find it's a thread from years ago.

    Eville, BigMac didn't have a problem with the fact this this is an old thread and I don't think anyone else does either. When I first saw this thread rise from the dead, my reaction was pretty much the same as Sean's, especially considering the fact that the originator of the thread was banned from here almost two years ago.

    "Waking the dead" is a very appropriate comment in this case (funny as hell too ) and if you knew the background about john90210, you'd "get it" too.

    No shit. I typed in "motorcycles" on search and it was about 8 down. Yep. I had to dig like hell.
