Nice, I’ve had a thunderbird sport, 955i speedtriple & a 1050speedtriple. Love the triple sound 8)

I've had two Thunderbird Sports, one red and one yellow, both with the iconic twin exhausts on one side. It's embarassing how many Hinckley's I've had....... Tigers, Daytona's, Explorers and more!
Mine was the white/orange one 8)

So I got it as a swap for a Raleigh Chopper ca.1978. It's been a kind of a rolling restoration ever since. Should have kept the Raleigh Chopper I think :cry:

NSU Quickly 1956 model Rob. Don't know much more about it than that, apart from the fact that it was owned previously by a parish vicar. Don't laugh, they weren't paid that much in those days.

That's great! Much more interesting than a Chopper. After all most boys had Choppers when I was a kid, but nobody had one of those when they were old enough. :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

"Quickly"? as ironic as caravans called Swift or Rallye :)

But if you get it on the road you will get more interest in it than in a modern transformers clone :thumbsup:

In a moment of weakness last week, this arrived. 450 MK3 Desmo, lovely, built 1972 ish, so one rider for nearly 48 years. Provenance longer than your arm, always a front runner successfully raced throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Nice.
Try not to let any dogs from cocking their legs and having a pee on the rims though. It can take forever to get rid of the stains on valanced rims. :x
