In 1976, I bought a used TR7RV, aka The Tiger 750 - a 750cc twin cylinder, single carb, 5 speed. After a pickup truck pulled out in front of me, the frame was bent, so I got an old 69 650 chassis, built some adapters and made a real sleeper out of the bike. I installed a Preston Petty rear fender and a salvaged BSA 441 alloy gas tank - that stripped off some of the excess weight! I rode the heck out of it for 2 years, then sold it off one winter and got out of motorcycles for nearly 20 years. But I kept thinking "I'll get another one some day ..."
and sure enough, in July 2003 I found a poor rusty T100C (500 twin) to fix up ...
