      Hi folks,

      I'm Wig from The Texreys.

      Apart from my geetars, my main pride and joy on this planet is my bike.

      She's a 1974 Triumph Bonneville T120 - the last year Meriden made the 650 engine.

      I found her with only 11,000 original miles on her !

      I call her "Mrs Peel" a la The Avengers...'cause she's English, easy on the eye, and if you fire her up she kicks ass !

      Cheers

      Oh yeah, in the photo, the bike to the right, you can scroll to it, is Mrs Wig's 1976 Triumph Tiger TR7. To the left of the pic you can see also see another front wheel, that's my mate's 1949 HRD Vincent Comet, a very rare ride !

      Thanks mate, yeah she's a blast to ride, got the pea shooter pipes on her, so her note is fantastic when you give her a bit of stick. Wow...your Dad's Trophy sounds the business ! Yeah, you should do it, give her a birthday, get her fired up. As they say 'They should be ridden, not hidden'.

      Cheers

      cool bike, i live only a few miles from where it was made, you dont see many like that any more.

      my dad has a 65 650 trophy virtually the same bike without the twin carbs and a drum brake on the front,  the sound it makes when you give it some stick defies description.

      he cant ride anymore due to a bad knee, i might get it on the road this year, blow the cobwebs out.
