Coming October 18 2026 This is planned to be the last commissioned rebuild I do. I'm 76 years old and besides this have these projects to complete.- Stuck waiting for parts but will be done soon: Combat5
- MKIII about half done but being put aside to have room for this commission: MKIII Rebuild
- My Personal MK2A that I just needed to finish re-wiring when I dropped it on the floor and damaged it getting it off the lift to make room to work on other bikes.
- Another 850 Commando Basket Case
- A 750Commando Basket case
- Another 750 Commando basket case
- A Triumph that I last worked on in 2019 when other things got in the way. It is done except for the wheels The Rebuild from Hell
- My 1967 Triumph 500 (Started life as a 1967 TR5C, became a T100R when built - long story) that I built from a basket case in 1971 and started restoring in 2013 and stopped in 2019 when other things got in the way. An a-hole was supposed to paint my tank and fenders - long story, but my original parts never came back.
- A titled T120R that is incomplete.
- A TR25W that is titled and mostly complete.
- Another 750 Combat
- A 1973 750 Commando basket case.
- My last T150V. This bike was last started in 2017 - ran great then. It is 100% original, has a minor cylinder base oil weep, is all original paint, and has never been apart. That's why I sold all my others which were either restored or in great condition and kept this one.
- Another Triumph T120R
- Another Triumph TR6C
Now, if you're sitting there thinking about starting a pool on how much of this I will get done in my remaining lifetime - that's not very nice!
September 3, 2026 This bike is in one piece right now. Step one will be to take it 100% apart and start rebuilding from there. The owner wants it as original as possible but with my normal finished look and upgrades and the cNw e-start. I received six new Rubbermaid bins today so the MK3 Rebuild is coming apart to make room for this bike.
September 20, 2026 I've been slowly at it and the MK3 is all apart and in bins except the power unit that was still on the table. Had a little help today and he brought his 6'2" twenty-something son with him, so the power unit is now on the shelf and no old guys had to strain to do it!
