Pbondar your first foray on two wheels a Triumph Tina !!! I wonder how many know what one of those are, a friend of mine's mum had one in the sixties. My list of bikes which I wont bore anyone with now stands at thirty nine at the moment (and counting)

It’s a scooter & I claim my mystery prize!

Yes it was my mum’s , she was a midwife in the hospital about 12 miles from where we lived...she tried to start it a couple of times when the auto was in run mode not idle mode...so it took off down the road without her...she gave up so it sat in our garage for many years...my friend had a similar story with his fathers BSA Tigress which was a 250cc 4 stroke twin version of the Tina...

I have to confess I resprayed from its original Lilac to candy flake lime green and candy flake bright orange..

The best ones were the 200 V8 engine versions that were built for the UK launch..that never happened..very fast in their day...the 2 by 2 paving slab in the boot was the ultimate handling mod..

Fascinating thread - it's cool to shine a bit of a light on some of the forum members' past histories (and bikes/cars).
As for the OP's thread starter, The black on siliver looks pretty good, it kind of reminds me of a Jag convertible, but can't think of a model number :?
