After my accident this summer involving an unmarked police-car in London, I’ve got fed-up with waiting for the Babylon to get back to me with the promised evidence to make a claim. I have no idea what happened. All I can remember is slowing down for some traffic-lights, and the next thing I know is that I’m lying in the road having my clothes cut off me by paramedics. The Triumph looks like it took a pretty hard dirt-nap. It’s been sitting for 6 months now, and I want to get her back on the road.

So, the strip-down began today, after I made room in the shed a few weeks back. Fortunately, most of the damage is cosmetic, and there seems to be little mechanical or structural damage. Hopefully, it’s more time than money, but I’m seeing an even more stripped-down, ratted bobber emerge from from this. May even fab some new straight-throughs to help the old girl breathe. Let’s see how the next few days and weekends pan out…
