1935 Triumph Running When Parked Is A Beauty

We get a lot of crappy bikes showing up on Running When Parked, but this is not one of them. This bike looks better now than it did on the showroom floor in 1935. And who cares if it is running? This is not the kind of bike you buy to ride around town. It will most likely end up in a personal collection or museum. The price? The seller wants you to make him an offer. You can see the ad (if the bike is still available) by clicking here.

Convoluted design: Always believed that British motorcycle designers look at every component and think, “how can we design this to be more complicated?” There is a lot going on here.

The phraseRunning When Parked (RWP) is code for a once treasured possession that has been neglected in the corner of the garage or tool shed for far too long. Lacking the energy, time or resources to bring the little beauty back to life, the owner lists it for sale in hopes that a new owner will massage it back to health. Our collection of RWP bikes fall into two distinct categories; treasure or trash. And you are the only one who can properly judge which category the bike belongs in.
