    Great video, no show boating, no commentary. Excellent, really enjoyed it!

    I want to get down your way and ride that awesome road mate, I have driven up there and videos never pick up just how steep that really is. Watch out for the moss on that road its treacherous when wet on a bike. My mate came a cropper some years ago because of that on thisT160. Your bike sounds in great fettle and hope your back having fun on the old girl now summers on the way back here in bikers retirement Paradise NZ.😃

      Beautiful scenery around there. (My camera is a just a basic car dashcam so you should do a lot better.) I look forward to seeing what you come up with. 😊

    I love the old Brit bikes . I've progressed to a more modern Triumph, a 2006 Thruxton . Where is that road ? Cheers from Opotiki

      It runs between Waikanae and Upper Hutt and is called the Akatarawa Road. I love it!

    Man some of those off-camber corners look tricky. 😳

      Probably just my poor riding skills making it look that way...

    The Silver Jubilee model.The one no one wanted at the time.A last ditch attempt to salvage something for Triumph.I bet folk are wishing they had one now.

      Yes. I remember when they were scorned too. Triumph did some silly things with them too - like applying paint onto the shiny chrome rims. I wonder why they thought it could stick?
