I've always liked BSA unit singles, I owned a C15 when I was a kid 40 years ago but what I really, REALLY like are the square-barrelled 441s and 500s


My TR5MX motor is currently sat on the kitchen table and I'm quite happy to just sit and stare at it with either a beer or glass of red in my hand

Last year I decided I wanted a B50T so I started looking in the usuak places and placed a bid or two Ebay, then one day I saw a TR5MX and had to have it! I've always loved Triumphs and I already had a TR5T so the TR5MX would make a nice addition. Anyway, I became the new owner and I brought it home and began collecting parts for the restoration. There were quite a few bits missing, including the front wheel and my plan was to put it on the road as a Triumph version of the B50T. However this soon changed into making it into a single-cylinder TR5T.
Here's a couple pictures in 'as bought' condition.
