Almost certainly a Bonneville T140V Zig Zag colours were 1978 to about 81 . Outside chance it is a rarer (similar but single carb) Tiger TR7V but believe black and red were T140V colours . -- Last edit: 2018-12-08 13:18:21 |

1979, can't find a Tiger in those colours so T 140 E Bonneville. |

Agree forgot we were on E for emissions by 78 |

Note the cases of "Fine Fare" 20W-50 in the background, I didn't realise triumphs leaked that badly.... In all honesty, I'm softening towards Meridan Triumphs with age, a bit of owner involvement is part of the fun, although the SII Interceptor is still top of my big Brit bruiser list. |

One of the great unused advertising slogans "Fine Fare for the Common Man". Would have made an epic Xmas TV ad, and may even have turned jfs into a prog rock fan ..... |

TBH that's probably turned me off ELP, all the twiddly bits in the middle have ruined a perfectly good tune. |

Is this a new form of code? I can’t envision transmogrification into a prog rock fan, I think that musical preferences are probably inherited rather than acquired, and that my dislike of the sound of the electric guitar is enough to stop any further changes from occurring. I wonder if “Fine Fare” 20/50 went well on corn flakes? -- Last edit: 2018-12-08 16:49:37 |

But surely the definition of prog rock is that it has lots of twiddly bits in the middle?? (although there's an argument that randomly generated lyrics are another pre-requisite). Maybe instead you'll think that this is nice. |

Nice! Nice? Miss Keates would have had a conniption fit. “Nice is the sort of word used by little boys who have no imagination. Do go away and think again.” BTW, how about checking out the cars in this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=oaEM4JYFPfw -- Last edit: 2018-12-08 17:00:09 |

Rather dubious statement. Not confirmed by personal experience. |
◊ 2018-12-08 18:16 |
Confirmed by mine. |

Nope, I've still got my vinyl 45 from 1977, without all the twiddly bits. Most prog rock is pretentious bollocks (did I mention I hate Genesis?), I'm an unashamed 70's rock dinosaur, Zeppelin, Exiles' era Stones, a bit of Pub Rock, this lot for a bit of fun and not forgetting, Canvey Island's finest -- Last edit: 2018-12-09 13:16:54 |

for the glorious choice of Mott. But music is really just a case of Do Anything You Wanna Do ... |
