Yep, I was an avid CHiPS watcher too - not that it influenced the accessories I bolted onto my poor old Z750 twin in the mid-late 70s! ;D  Great bike the Z750, and most underrated.  8)

My dad is still a CHiPs fan.
The earlier ones were the better it just got progressively dafter.
It's clear to see why people struggled to work with Eric Estrada.

I saw CHiPs 99 the other day with fat Eric made my dad laugh.

So has been a quiet few weeks drinking / eating too much and waiting for a few things to come together.

Collected the frame and painted cycle parts from my painters yesterday - and they’ve done a lovely job. The colour match is 90% perfect to the NOS rear carrier / top box that was used for the colour match - so I’m pretty happy.

Just waiting for rear hub to be re-lined so I can get the wheels built and start assembly and get the engine in and get her back on her feet..

Looking spiffing James ... need one of your videos driving it around Brighton when it's finished  ;D

MrDavo:
I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished, as I've only ever seen old photos of the P2.

Interesting that it came from Saudi, I remember seeing a bunch of nearly new white Triumph T160s in Sports Motorcycles. Apparently they had been sold to Saudi Arabia as Police bikes, but being Triumphs had sadly ground to an inevitable halt and had been left wherever they broke down. The prospect of having your hands chopped off for the theft of police property may have helped prevent them from being pilfered at the roadside. Being such a dry climate, they were worth saving, and had been brought back to the UK (I don't know who by) and recommissioned by Triumph.

Maybe yours has also had a long sleep in a hot desert.
