You can tell a happy biker by the bugstains on his teeth.

My "crotch rocket" is a 1969 Triumph Trident T150, still in fairly mint condition, right down to its original Avon tires (or is it tyres?).

Hey, I >had< a 69 BSA Rocket 3...wasn't that the same as the Triumph? It was a cool bike and REALLY fast - for the time - but the leather clutch was a pain. I neded up giving the bike to my brothers in law who in turn kept it in a barn for a decade or so, then >gave< it to someone who completely restored it. Apprently he found someone who could make the leather clutch.

I was based in Sapin 68-72. I had a Bultalco 250...what a blast..

Nice! I still have a 71 Norton Hi Rider, and 2 73 Guzzi Eldorados but they're all far from mint. I can call the one Eldorado "original" though. I had a Matchless G15 that I think was from the late 50's or early 60's, but I had to sell it about 15 years ago. Been kicking myself ever since.

Also a nice running "all there" 73 or 74 Combat Commando 750 Roadster to sell for a friend. (If anyone is interested, freepmail me.)

"right down to its original Avon tires"

Uh...not many miles on that bike, ay?

I owned a 70 Triumph Bonneville and it was sweet. Wish I still had it. Sold it to a guy my father worked with in 72' and he wrapped it up almost killing himself.
