Well looks like I wont be painting figures for a while. I've just gotten back into the bikes after a 5 year lay over. Marrage, Kids, getting out of the Army. All contributed to the loss of the bike in the first place. Now IOC Home front said YES to a new, well second hand Triumph Sprint St :-) HORRAH and VERRROOOMMM . Here is a pic.
Cheers Jason

That looks like one sweet ride!
what's the engine capacity?
Sorry, we don't get the Brit bikes here in SA unless we import them ourselves then it's really $$$$$$

Nice bike Jason, a fair bit (like 26 years )newer than my old Triumph, but at least it's Brit Iron and not a rice-burner.

Very nice ride. I'm sure it would beat the pants off of mine. I recently bought a Dnepr with sidecar, and a 7.62mm DP MG. Still trying to locate a mount though...

mikeli125-
Thanks for the heads up. A lot of those sites are new to me. I have mainly been checking links mentioned on the Molotov Cocktail site. Now, unfortunately, I'll have to wait a month. I've got HALO school starting Monday, and will have no computer access.
Are you a Dneprhead as well?
