Re: [emrat:14430] RMRAT meeting Feb 2024 agenda

Bob - I missed out on the last overnighter to Amarillo due to high winds. Even though my "non cow" choices are limited to potatoes and salad, I would still enjoy making that trip. Definitely count me in unless something unexpected comes up.

Martin,

During yesterday's meeting we agreed that the Spring overnight would be to The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery in Amarillo Texas. Looking at the calendar I recommend we schedule the ride for June 1st and 2nd.

I will be more than happy to coordinate the ride. Let know what you think.

Tentative date for the final Chuck Ferrari ride is April 7th (Sunday.) This will also be a "First Sunday" ride.

Question for the group: If we did a ride that ended in Canon City, how many would be interested in coming to Casa Albright in Pueblo for an informal cookout/gathering afterwards? I'd like to try and get a tentative headcount so I know how much food to prepare.

Obviously, weather may be a factor so I'll start getting the headcount when we get closer to the date. But I just wanted to put this out so people could mark their calendars.

Re: [emrat:14417] Warrants issued for biker touching 170 MPH and lane splitting between the Springs and Denver

There's no doubt this guy came to CO to pull this stunt. He knew better than to do it in his home state of TX. That said, speeding is pretty much a misdemeanor at best no matter how fast you're going and I doubt TX would extradite him on a misdemeanor. I don't know what the reciprocity agreements are between the 2 states but some form of aggravated circumstances (reckless endangerment?) rising to the level of a felony will likely be necessary to get him here. So far I haven't heard of any injuries to others or damage to property (which will be his defenses) but it will be interesting to see what the CSP and their go to DA or Assistant AG can come up with.

Re: [emrat:14414] barn find

Bob,

Right leg as the starter. Well no more excuses for skipping leg day. You will need the power.

I would really like to see the progression of the restore. Sounds like it is in great shape considering.

Best of luck! May you never need to use an easy out.

Baxter Cycle in Marne, IA might be a useful reference. They seem to know all things Triumph.

I think that's right Bob. Most 75 Commandos also have Electric Start but I don't think they all did. Wisely they all had right leg start, electric or not. You would think Foothills or Erico could do the VIN. If not look for used Triumph parts on E-Bay. Some of those vendors are in the UK and likely could de-code yours.

Vince,

No offense was taken. Giving each other some mild grief is part of the male experience.

As I remember it, NHTSA required all bikes imported into the United States after 1974 to have left shift and right brake. Norton, Triumph, Ducati and the Sportster (!) made the change then. Moto Guzzi did it a few years earlier.

My T140 has a twelve-character VIN and I have not been able to find any information using that. I don't even know what year it is, though I think it was manufactured in 1978.

Bob that's wonderful! In all honesty I think my comment was a bit sarcastic and somewhat inappropriate and I apologize. Hopefully you have tons or room to lay everything out in takeoff order. Norton went to left side shift in 75. I'm sure you can run the VIN number.

Be sure and let us know then your getting close to pushing the start button!

Thanks, Vince.

This isn't my first time to rescue an abandoned/neglected bike. Consequently, my expectations aren't particularly high.

I checked compression yesterday, and measured 100 psi on each cylinder, far better than a bike parked for thirty years should have. After I clean up the valves and their seats, the numbers will likely improve. That the cylinders are equal, is close to unbelievable. Another entry in the list of unbelievables is that the front brake caliper isn't seized. The transmission appears to shift well.

I doubt that I'll have it on the road this year, but one never knows.

Good morning, Chris.

I really hadn't given any thought to how I will document the restoration. And it may not be much more than getting it to run. Many years ago, I restored a 1966 BMW R60/2, and found that the efforts to get it beyond 75% had diminishing returns. I would have had almost as much enjoyment riding the bike had I left it looking well-used.

Bob - looking forward to seeing the progress made on restoration.

Are you planning to set up a site or page where you will be posting photos / videos of the progress?

My buddy, Charles, called me yesterday morning to ask if I was interested in "an old Triumph motorcycle". He didn't have to ask twice.

A friend of his knows an older woman who is moving out of her house and wants to get rid of everything, including the Triumph that had been owned by her late son.

Fortunately, it has been parked in a garage/shed/barn for the past thirty years. That's probably why the motor isn't seized with rust. No title and no keys. It's missing a few parts, but with perseverance, I'll be able to find replacements.

It's a 750, a T140E. I can say that it was built sometime after 1974 because the shift lever is on the left side. It also has disk brakes. Two things very much in its favor for me.

The first order of business is that of getting the motor running. If that proves to be satisfactory, I'll begin the process of getting a title. Colorado makes that somewhat easier for vehicles at least 25 years old.

The tank was repainted an unflattering shade of white. I expect to find bondo under the paint.

This will be a lengthy project.

Bob
