Triumph Metisse / Tribsa / Rickman Metisse / Triumph / BSA / Road legal

Just back from a trip to France with this bike its great 260 miles in a day in torrential rain didn't miss a beat for the week we had on it and its comfortable sounds great draws a crowd of admirers wherever you go. it has been an off road hybrid for many years it is how they would have been in the sixty's only nicer as it was rebuilt several years ago. It is road legal without lights they were put on for the France trip the speedo is only for show as are the lights they do work but the electronic ignition is not designed to charge the battery which is in the basket or very easy to remove if you are looking for a gentleman's green laner.
