My 650 Triumph story

Nice n fat….
Sorry, but it came to me from a mate. He bought it many many years ago as a chop, with the intention of doing something with it…… lots later ( like 15 plus years) he decided it was time it went to a new home….so came to me in lockdown. I had said years ago to him that I was interested in it .
So it was never “on the market”
Only engine and frame were standard ( matching numbers) and the engine was knackered …sludge that 3/4 full, stuck valves, broken rings etc etc…..
An ex police (met SEG) bike, so that’s why it’s now “ copper”
 
If it’s an ex-met bike you’re lucky it has matching numbers. To make sure the bikes were off road for the minimum time, they would just swap the engines out then repair the u/s one at their leisure.
