The older I get the more appreciation I have for these old bikes. I have a 1977 750 t140 with 3700 one owner miles on it. I have other bikes also, but this one is dear to my heart. They are just plain too cool !!!!!
Your love and appreciation for all the bikes you show are really inspiring. But watching this one with the owner has me in a mixed emotion. The sadness that the owner is smiling, but never really rode that bike, like it was made to be ridden. There is a sadness that I feel for the owner. Maybe not his thing to ride...but why keep a bike for 40 years then, for a mere $$$ margin. I say ride the thing, the experience is priceless. Keep up the great video's, keep up the attitude, it is appreciated. On that note...you should get back on instagram...its a lot easier to share photo's etc of all the nice bikes you are showcasing here on youtube. The word can get out easier about your operation there in Rockville, which is off the chart spectacular. Really looking forward to my next road trip there in 2019.
That low mileage...I don't buy a bike, of any model year, to be a ***lawn ornament***....I ride 'em...and put thousands of miles on before either selling them, or as a trade. I don't ride to the nearest coffee shop, buy a coffee and then sit and stare at my bike, LOL. I know lots that do....their entire ride is three miles...1 1/2 miles each way....lol. Each to their own, I guess. For myself, I'd go across the continent for a great bowl of clam chowder....yep. I put miles on my rides... I owned a '72 Bonnie 650 T120....and had lots of fun...rode lots of miles...and always with a Zener Diode in my pack. Same thing any BSA Lightning 650 rider needed to have as well... Those were the days when men were men, and Zener Diodes, were Zener Diodes...LOL. If anybody needs to ask what a Z.D. is...then they NEVER owned a British Twin....uh uh.... and oh...getting home was always easy...even if you had one too few coffees, (or now, a non politically correct 'other' no named beverage)......you'd just follow the oil drops right back to your home driveway. Was so easy to get home....follow the brown spotted dots...

Always liked the later T140s.

I have a feeling you and I would make amazing friends! I wish I was born in that era. 70's was the time.
Had a 73 . Wish I still had it
I love my 73 750 TR7V, nearly original and rebuilt, but that Bonnie is a beauty!
Not to mention you look good on it
Love the bikes you show are really inspiring..

It's beautiful
Just love the bikes you get don't matter what it is
I love watching Ken's videos. One of these days I'm going to road trip up there to see his museum.
Stunning👍👍👍👍
She’s beautiful
The primary should not be oil dry because there's three 1/8 holes in the primary case for the chain to get misted from crank case pressure.
Beautiful if I had the money I would bring it home
