Great vid! It's like a love story that was meant to be! :) Someone near me is selling a 1977 T140 for $1500 USD. I'm praying to God that my tax refund comes in fast enough for me to buy it.
I have an 09 America, bought new and love it. Going to get an older Triumph to rebuild. Thanks for the video, looks real enough for me. The only complaint....skip the music and post another video with the bike sound. Thanks for posting.
To me the real Bonneville is the T120 preferably made in 1968 although i am prepared to include those made in 1969. Sorry guys but that is the way i see it. I know it is biased...my first bike was a T120...
Hi, the wheels are from a firm called CMA who, I believe, used to be in the Essex area, possibly near Chelmsford. The wheels are perhaps a copy of the original Dy-Mag wheels - which I think were magnesium. My wheels are aluminium alloy, and are heavier than wire wheels, but require no maintenance.
I know the 79's had mags..but classic triumphs must have spokes

Is the music by Malcolm Arnold? Sounds like it. or Arthur Bliss? I have a 73 TR7RV, nice work.

Nice one- good camerawork but I miss hearing the throaty sound over the music - another good reason to buy

In case it's driving anyone else crazy, the music is from 'Whistle Down The Wind'.
