Welcome to Part 1 of our Classic Triumph Motorcycle Recommission & Ride series. In this video our friend Dave Mitchell (from Mitchell's Classics) will introduce us the the project bike which is the 1976 Triumph Trident T160. We'll also take taking the bike apart to uncover what work needs to be done.

The bike doesn't go at present, let alone roll, and has been stored in a garage now for over eight years. The brief here is to get the bike looking good and running well again for the owner to enjoy. Many of the jobs we complete in this series are common tasks for classic bike recommissions of this era.
