[QUOTE="bikerskier, post: 224755, member: 1427"] I bought a new '73 purple 750 triple and 3 or 4 hours later I took it back to the dealer, complaining about it wanting to come apart in the corners. It felt like the seat was coming loose, the rear wheel wanted to come off, etc. and scared the shit out of me several times. The dealer laughed and said,"Get used to it, that is standard!" Anyway, I did get used to it, sort of... and rode the shit out it for 2 years, scared half to death most of the time. Even threw some canvas bags over the back seat and put a small backpack on my wife andwe rode it 2500 miles on trip, spewing oil and blue smoke at everyone we passed. Felt and sounded like riding an old washing machine half full of pieces on junk rattling around and at a high pitched screech. Traded it for a '75 Z1 900 which was like riding in a Mercedes after the triple. Still, now I wish I had kept it. [/QUOTE]
