Harris Bonnie outside the factory, 1986 (I think). Did some serious miles on this bike, most of them at 6,000rpm or more !

It was a few months old when I bought it with only a few miles on it.
It was a ‘daily rider’ in my way at the time, but as a plumber my actual daily was a van!
So it got used evenings, weekly college run and weekends. All my mates had Japanese bikes so the Bonnie had a hard life: out of the shed, thrashed, return to the shed, repeat!
That’s not a water bottle holder dude, it’s Triumphs patented oil bottle holder. Needed when touring and burning a pint every 240-250 miles !

1980. My Dad and little sister. My Dad bought me the Cub to try and keep me off the streets and out of trouble. It nearly worked too, but caused lifelong addiction problems !
Still got the Cub…

I've relapsed again....
It followed me home last night.
Looks like it's ready to go?
Is that a set of dunstal silencers I see?

Your T160 looks really nice.
To finish it off, maybe one of these to go on the Dave Madigan starter motor.

Pretty sure it's already got some kind of uprated starter. I got the original one in a boxYour T160 looks really nice.

Edit: I see now, to cover the ugly starter. Thank you
