For Doc!

I finally found those pics of my buddy's 1970 650 Tiger I'd mentioned!
He picked it up, parted but mostly complete, in a field, half buried. He actually had to use a shovel to get the back half of the frame out. 8O
He refurbished all the original parts he could find. I think it turned out ok!

I think that several of us can appreciate that sweet old Triumph. Thanks for the pic! 8)

That bike is beautiful! Thanks for posting the photos, 2LZ. I never would have guessed that bike was once half-buried in a field! 8O
