Pressing me {now retired} to a position I've been avoiding for a very long time- as a true Triumph guy since age 21 then living in Vancouver. B.C. Beginning with a TR3, to a TR3A, another TR3, a TR4, three TR6's to now a super TR8 I've owned since 2006 I regretfully have to put up for sale.

I thought about carrying a spare - this failure would have been catastrophic as quite a bit of oil was leaking out, not to mention the mess it made of the exhaust and the undercarriage.
