The old Bonnie’s are my fav to see on this channel !

[@rayrice9060]

mr kaplan you really suit an old british classic that bike is all you

[@lyndewilcox5557]

My ever so talented & awesome painter/fabricator husband NEWT painted that bike!!!!! He never ceases to amaze me on what he can do. It's neat that that bike lives on & is going to be enjoyed by a new owner. That's definitely one beautiful bike right there!!!!! We are also located in Upstate NY.

You guys never cease to amaze me with the bikes you get in your shop! If I didn't live in New Zealand and the exchange rate wasn't so crippling I'd be building a bigger garage!

[@richardmorris7063]

Now that's a motorcycle! Classic big twin w/ no garbage on it,stock & near perfect.

[@jimgarvey5452]

That was my bike. Your right. No garbage. But they wouldn't give me another $600.00 for it.

[@richardmorris7063]

@@jimgarvey5452 holy crap!

[@davidfeinberg5599]

Wow... flashback. I remember you ripping that Daytona down Brewster Street !!!

[@KaplanCycles]

40 years ago! awesome memories Dave!

[@davidfeinberg5599]

Awesome memories for sure !! Good to see you living your best life man. I'll fire up the old Shovel and get up there to see you this summer.... check out that beautiful museum of yours and catch up.

[@jimgarvey5452]

I had to tell you. That picture is actually my friend Bob Woodruff's garage. Not my living room. Man Cave where the picture was taken. That was a joint project we both enjoyed doing. And hat's off to Brian AKA [ Newt ] At A1 collision in Port Crane New York. He is the artist that painted the gas tank.

Most Sellers. "Everythings original." This Seller. "I can't imagine this is original."

[@nickolaskomsic6729]

You guys should try to get a ATK 700 2 stroke on for a video I've been wanting to see one👍

[@KaplanCycles]

I'm trying

[@jackyyoung4324]

Hi There, just found this video, the bikes superb. Can i ask how much this sold for ?? Cheers from Bonnie Scotland.

[@RDEnduro]

Did you say he couldn't ride it anymore so he put it in his basement to restore it.. amazing I'd probably do the same .Use the money and get new knees, my Dad did he was walking two weeks later it's no joke. Either way that bike runs great

[@jimgarvey5452]

No .I have one knee replaced. To hard to kick now. And my friend Bob Woodruff and I restored it in his Man Cave garage. Ken got a few facts wrong. But it's a beautiful bike. I wanted to pass it on to somebody that would ride it and enjoy it.

[@matnaylor8939]

The last gasp for triumph , the Japanese had truly stomped all over the British motorcycle industry , and every body else as well what a sad end to a great marque like Triumph ! Love those 70s machines .

[@danielarney9729]

Park it next to Harleys anywhere without problem

[@HeatherJackson-r4p]

Yes laughin I am 62 female in nz my 78 is called Mike he is still 99 PC original....

[@jimgarvey5452]

I told you when I sold it to you it was nicer than nice. When you sell it send me another $ 600.00. Then I can sleep better at night.
