I rescued this 56 T-120 Triumph from a barn a while back, still
looking for the time to start the repairs. Sorry for the blurry
shot, my camera at the time was acting up.

The Harley runs like a dream, very good in contrary to what you
hear about most old Shovel engines. The Terrot is a very good
project. It runs and is missing very minor bits (basically only
some cables). I'm a bit hesitant what to do with it... Haven't
found somebody yet to check over the engine and box or do a
reconditioning on it. As said, it runs and fairly sweet to be
honest. Then again.. it's 80 years old and parts are very hard
to find.

Nah. Homemade hardtail frame. "Banana" seat, looks odd though.
Needs Apes and a high bar at the rear. I'd roll it. In Blue.
Proper '70s style back street hero. (Yeah.... I know) I was in
it once.

The bike was built by my cousin back in 1965. Stock frame, front
fender for the rear fender, built up motor with high compression
pistons, high lift cam, dual Amal carbs, magneto ign. It used to
be pretty fast. It spent all the 60's and up until 76, parked in
his bedroom until his death, when the family rolled it out to
the barn. I rolled it back out, 30+ years later. The plan is to
keep it as a bobber similar to the way it is. I'll pass on the
banana seat for a small solo, will probably keep the Z bars.
They were very correct for that period. I have a few other
projects ahead of it, but hope to start on it soon.

i never owned/rode the auto but i did like my old 750sohc's, had
one of them for 8 years, thrashed it, crashed it and it still
came back for more
admittedly i did break just about every part imaginable of it,
both wheels more than once, cracked the headstock dragging a
Watsonian C/A chair, the gearbox (twice in quick succession)
knocked a big end out and seized a cam, i even eventually
managed to crack a rear drum
did i like that bike, you bet i did ;D
