Been working on this for a while and its nearing completion. Fully rebuilt motor, everything gone through. More pics and info coming soon. Inquire here
The real enthusiast is into collecting, identifying, categorizing and storing parts. 
Perhaps my favorite Triumph out there. It's a Triumph TT Special with a later T140 5 speed 750 motor (yes, he has the matching number TT motor also). Vintage Bates desert racer seat, alloy wheels- Borani and akront. Honda forks with a Honda disc brake and machined Triumph triple trees. Lucas off road headlight with 1972 Bonneville headlight mouting system. Owner: Hank Kingon, San Francisco 
Not too many pics from the show. To sum it up: Bought a alot, sold a little, met Barry from Storage Wars, saw Dick Mann, and piled a ridiculous amount of parts into the back of my lil' Toyota pick up. 
Took a scoot to Alices Restaurant the other day. We had 4 BSA's and a Panhead. Damn fine ride and damn fine weather. Look for Sergio's valve inspection cap on the 280 freeway (classic). Dan, myself and our friend Kelly in the current issue of Roller Magazine 
Triumph T140 head gasket: Brand new, our friend Joe put 50 miles on it before it blew. Ripped right in half. Emgo brand Pre unit oil pump: Genuine Triumph part. Lasted 57 years then quit. Emgo coils: We've had a few failed emgo coils. 6 volt coils Installed with boyer set up  Painted a few tanks last weekend. They turned out pretty good and I had very few problems. The biggest one was I burned a whole in the Lighting paint job while cutting and polishing. Sometimes you gotta leave good enough alone.
