Getting older but still love it

[chrisf1]

Hi everyone I have joined because I have just bought a 1971 cb750k chopper imported from the states and I am taking delivery next week I also own a 1960 Triton for those who do not know that is a Norton featherbed frame running a pre unit Triumph Bonneville engine but it is giving me so much grief I had to get something for the summer the Honda is unregistered at the moment but with nova cert so if anyone has been through the process of first registration I would be grateful for any tips to speed it along. I am in Kent in the UK, that is about all I can say at the moment the problems will start next week thanks Chris

Welcome. Not far from Kent down in sunny Hastings.

Did you get the original American title? That helps a lot when registering the bike with DVLA. If no, then you'll need a dating certificate from a club like VJMC.

Once you have one of those, and a MOT you can start the registering process.

Welcome to the forum,  Chris.   There's all sorts of advice on here; some of it is even useful.   How about some photos?

Now that Triton looks fun,

 a big twin with a kickstart is to big for me,


the Chop looks good as well

 pity you can't get a Triumph 60's twin with a "working" electric start !!!!

The Triton has a 750 morgo conversion and 5 speed internals put into the old 4 speed box

  Very nice,
  maybe add the 8 valve head !!!

I have bought the chopper as when dismounting the Triton I find myself locked in position and in need of gallons of WD40 (beer) to move

You can these days. Costs a bit though.

That Triton certainly takes me back, and the Goldie silencers as well, I can almost hear it !

I remember seeing adverts for the Goldie Silencers with "guaranteed to twitter" in the script.

 I remember several friends had CB72/77,
the first mod was a pair of "Goldies"
