My recently restored 1955 Matchless G9. Bit annoyed about the waterbutts and no parking signs, but had limited time on the day, and my photoshop skills are non existent!

She looks a lot better in the flesh!

Very nice bike. I have been restoring a Triumph Thunderbird over the last 7 or 8 years. Just got it going. I hope yours runs OK.

Thanks!

A few teething troubles but nothing major. She's running a bit rich, the horn/dipper switch is intermittent and the rear brake is binding on. Nothing major!

Currently have a 1952 Triumph Trophy in bits for my next project!

Do you have a pic of your thunderbird?

It has a '66 engine and a modified '73 OIF frame.
