Ashley 288 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes the triumph could do with the Ashley treatment, heres one I made earlier, as they say That Triumph 650 was in worse condition that the T90, it looked like it had been rode home from the white hart parked up in back yard and left uncovered for 20 years! apart from new wheels,exhausts/silencers,seat.mudguards,lights and other bits it had new mains, crank regrind, big ends and rings, I did get it finished, mot'd and on the road, but no photos thus after all vanished years later from my car which was pinched by some barsteward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Dawsons still exists (or did till some years ago) at a shop in netherfield, it is/was in a new block stood back on the right going towards carlton on the main road right next to the level crossing Not there now Ash. Was that before or after Carton Square? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Re "before or after Carlton Square" is that a question re the location of the shop? or an era question ie was it "before or after Dawsons had a shop at Carlton Sq? "(if in fact they did)? I meant it as a location, looked on google map, they were actually on Wright St off Victoria Rd Netherfield the shop backing up to the railway line.
