    Nice bike, i have a '76 Bonnie, owned since '89, bought for $250 with only 3200 miles, fully restored in '05, and kept shiny since, now has 8100 miles! 1st kick starter and faster than its supposed to be, a real crowd pleaser! I think '76 is the best year for the OIF Triumphs.

      I completely agree. I have a 76 Bonnie too, as well as a 69 & 72. The 76 is such a pleasure to ride, smooth gear change, phenomenal handling and great power for a nearly 50 year old bike.

    We’ve had this bike 78 year model on the family for 42 years now. My grandfather rode it as his retirement toy, my aunt owns it currently and enjoys the Sunday ride on it. One day I hope to enjoy it. The sound in the video doesn’t do it justice, they sound great in the flesh!

    Hi guys. Great bike. Triumph Meridian Cooperative’s last year of production was 1983. After that Les Williams built them one at a time with the remaining factory parts under the monicker Les Harris Bonneville. I believe until 1989 when John Bloor began building the factory for his incarnation of Triumph.

    Hi guys I'm Dan ( Rocky ) from Australia. I'm addicted to your channel since finding it recently. I love all the old bikes you guys have from my youth,I'm 60 now oh shit. I'm a big Triumph fan and love the Bonnevilles. I currently own a 2014 Triumph Tiger sport 1050. I drool over your vids of your auction bikes. Just curious if you guys send bikes to Aus but not sure if they're legal here without a Australian compliance plate. Cheers guys from Aus and look forward to many hours of entertainment watching your vids.

    I remember this era well, a lot of guys were buying xs-650's for half the price of these. But the brit bike's just had a soul& character the Yammies didn't 🇬🇧

    In 1976 Britain these were a dream for the bikers that could afford a new bike of that size. A lot of bikers hung on to their smaller bikes, with not much money about and unemployment at it's highest ever. The Sex pistols and punk came out, and Barry Sheene won his first world title.
