I’ve recently inherited my first motorbike, after my grandad sadly passed away. I grew up helping him in his work shop and he taught basic bike maintenance when I was a kid. I always thought he was a little crazy that he had 10 motorbikes and continued to build more.
He left me this 1936 Triumph L2/1 250, which he restored back in the 80s. It’s a bit rough at the moment as I don’t think it’s been ridden for some time. But I’ve been told it started up last year.
I intend to tidy it up and work on it as much as I can which I think is what he would have wanted.
The only downside is I don’t have a bike license. Always wanted to learn but never go round to it. So his has definitely given a kick in the right direction. I’ve ridden scooters and dirt bikes in the past and I’m looking into buying a learner/daily soon, after my CBT is done and out of the way.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated!
