Triumph 750 Twins
Triumph's T140 Bonneville and TR7 Tiger 750s are the obvious choice for a first British classic bike. Here's why...
First off, they don't cost a fortune, so you can try an old Brit bike to see if you enjoy the experience without mortgaging the cat. Second, there are heaps of 750 Triumphs on the market at any time, so you have plenty to pick and choose between.
Production of the 750s started in 1973 with the twin-carb T140V Bonneville and the single-carb TR7V Tiger, direct descendants from the Speed Twin all those decades earlier. The first few 750s were actually 724cc but the vast majority are 744cc (76mm by 82mm) from 1974-onwards. The 750 Triumphs do everything fairly well although they tend not to excel at one thing in particular - apart, perhaps, from steering rather more sharply than some lumbering four-cylinder contemporaries from overseas.
The affordable Bonneville looks and sounds like a proper British bike, and makes a stab at a modern spec with five gears, indicators, disc front brake, and an electric start on ES models from 1980. T140s tend to be somewhat smoother than the preceding 650 twins with marginally more power and a better spread of torque. In keeping with the times, the gearchange lever moved to the left hand side in 1976 so they feel faintly familiar for riders of modern machinery. The rear brake changed to a disc from a drum at the same time.
By 1976, NVT were marketing the 750 as 'the bike that created its own legend.' The big Bonnie engine was 'redesigned to cope with the extra power with new and stronger pistons, bigger oil pumps, stiffer rods, and so on. All adding up to smooth, effortless Triumph power.' Reassuringly, the top end still sounds like a proper Triumph: it's not broken, they all do that, Sir.
The suspension boasted 'race bred forks to give that certainty of handling under all conditions' with two-way hydraulic damping and a sensible set of gaiters. Actually, the 750s do benefit from sure-footed and predictable steering, so the blurb didn't exaggerate too much. Mind you, it was probably going a bit to extremes to claim that the 10-inch front disc was 'massive', and few of them feel 'powerful' or particularly 'smooth' today despite the Lockheed calipers. But there are plenty of available braking upgrades if you wish to improve stopping power.
The 1976 TR7 Tiger combined 'the traditional virtues of thoroughbred handling with a power bonus from the bigger engine. Single carb design provides miserly fuel consumption of up to 75mpg with fuss free reliability.' Like the T140, it ran at 7.9:1 compression with alloy conrods, plain big end bearings and ball and roller mains; used a multiplate clutch, triplex primary chain, welded oil bearing frame with taper roller head bearings, had a seat height of 31 inches, seven inches of ground clearance and weighed around 415lb (189kg) dry.
Electronic ignition arrived in 1979 and you would definitely want to fit a modern sparky system (there's plenty of choice available) rather than rely on the contact breaker set-up which can be tiresome to time accurately. In 1980 the Bonneville was voted 'Bike of the Year' by both weekly UK papers and was still selling steadily. The majority of the specification remained unchanged, but weight crept up to 430lb for the electric-start models and there were some tweaks - like moving the rear brake caliper away from road spray to improve its performance in the hissing rain.
There's even an eight-valve version, the TSS (which you should avoid unless you're a dab hand with the spanners and enjoy untangling top end traumas), and some attractive special editions like the 1977 Jubilee, the Royal, the luggage-laden Executive, and the extremely handsome Tiger Trail of 1981.
Depending on which model you prefer you'll get a choice of single or twin discs, cast or spoke wheels, high or low bars, single or twin carb, and so on. American-spec models feature sharper styling than the slab-sided Brit equivalents but the UK bikes benefit from a full-size four-gallon petrol tank: depends whether you want the bike to go a long distance or just look spiffy… UK models had low bars, generating generations of backache, while the US model, with its high bars and peanut tank, revealed why Meriden's engineers placed the footrests where they did; it all makes sense with the high bars.
The final, Devon-built Bonnies bridge the gap between Meriden and Hinckley and feature twin Brembos on the Paioli front end but are kickstart only. They also sport Italian rear suspension and silencers and Magura switchgear - altogether a pretty package if you can find one which has had its engine carefully looked after.
Spares and expertise are abundant, although not all modern components are of wonderful quality: an established commercial supplier or even a well-regarded ebayer may be a better bet than an anonymous autojumble stall. There is a famous saying about repro T140 spares: it can work right or it can fit right, but you can't have both at once…
There are straightforward fixes for common faults and an array of useful upgrades, and the bikes themselves are relatively inexpensive yet are capable of clocking up big miles in modern traffic. The TR7 is easier to live with than the T140 - unless you're a dab hand at balancing carbs, of course. All are very happy at 60mph, can sustain 80mph without too much trouble and will break the ton is you ask nicely.
The final incarnation of the 750 was actually a 650: the T140 chopped down to 650 size in the shape of the single carb TR65 which was built for two years from 1981. Less than 500 were made which is a shame, because this is one of the sweetest Tritwins of all time.
Tatty 750s start at £1500, mint ones go for £4500. Two Jubilee Bonnies were offered for sale in autumn 2012: one had covered just 890 miles from new and was up for £5300. The other had done 7000 miles and the seller was asking for £4250.

Back pain is the second most common reason people visits their GP (the first is the cold/flu) accounting for more than 7 million consultations every year. Many sufferers rely on pain-killers and people suffering with chronic back pain are at a higher risk of developing depression. The NHS spends more than £1 billion a year on treating back pain and in addition there are other (indirect) costs to UK businesses. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that musculoskeletal disorders, which includes back pain costs UK employers over £600 million per year and claim that we have an 80% chance of getting a lower back problem at some point in our lives.
In many cases, the pain is due to extra strain on the lower back muscles caused by bad posture from sitting in front of a TV/computer screen or ‘slouching’ on longer journeys in vehicles. BackCare, the UK Charity dedicated to helping us keep healthier backs (backpain.org) recommends; “When driving, maintain an upright posture.” By keeping the lower part of the back to follow the contours of the lumbar support, the correct upright posture is created, however, it takes constant conscious effort to maintain the correct upright position and so many people revert to spending hours in their vehicles in an un-healthy position (see figure). Prolonged ‘slouching’ causes the lower back muscles to tighten, working to protect the spine… and this can lead to muscular spasms – commonly known as ‘back ache’. The CG-Lock gently keeps the hips in the correct 'upright' position.

Prolonged ‘slouching’ causes the lower back muscles to tighten, working to protect the spine… and this can lead to muscular spasms – commonly known as ‘back ache’. Here the correct posture is shown. The CG-Lock keeps the driver/passenger in this healthier position.
In 1916, internal combustion power was in its infancy and most railway locomotives were powered by steam. However, the smoke, steam and night-time glow of the fire on a steam loco were a disadvantage near the front line, as they allowed the enemy to identify and attack trains and railway lines. All participants in the Somme therefore used petrol-powered locomotives in forward areas, supported by steam locos to the rear.
The Motor Rail & Tramcar company supplied hundreds of ‘Simplex’ petrol-mechanical locomotives to the British army, in 20HP and 40HP variants. The larger 40HP locos were delivered with three varieties of bodywork: ‘Open’, ‘Protected’ or ‘Armoured’. Their 4-cylinder, 8-litre petrol engine was thirsty and had a terrible power/weight ratio, but was robust and easily maintained. After the war, many were reconditioned and sold, and some were still operating in industrial service 50 years later.
The Ffestiniog Railway purchased a reconditioned 40HP loco in 1923, primarily for shunting duties. It was a ‘cut and shut’ job using the frame and engine of an ‘Open’ locomotive with the bodywork of a ‘Protected’ type; presumably combining the good bits of two war-weary locos. It was the last loco in operation in 1946 and the first to be used by the preservationists in 1954. It has appeared in a number of guises over the years but was returned to a largely original appearance for the event at Froissy, replacing the roof and a missing end panel, adding numberplates and receiving a new coat of paint. The original petrol engine is still going strong; the heat, smell, noise and backache associated with driving this tin box is an experience I would only recommend to the most hardy railwayman. How much worse must it have been with shells, shrapnel and bullets flying?
Here the Simplex trundles through the wooded area along the banks of the Somme canal with a short freight train of contemporary wagons. This end, the roof, the numberplate and the paint job were all added especially for this event.
We have block paving all around our house. Through winter the joints grow moss and weeds so in spring I pressure wash the blocks clean and blast the moss and weeds out. This also blasts the sand out then I have to brush in fresh kiln-dried sand. It's worth the effort but gives me back ache.

Le Chateau de Sainte-Croix a Longuenesse – now the town hall of Longuenesse. No. 4 Canadian CCS were located in the grounds of this building from 11 July 1917. During enemy air raids, nursing sisters (including May Tilton & nurses of 3 A.C.C.S.) were billeted in the chateau.
The nights were like day, and as long as the moon lasted, the air raids lasted. Backwards and forwards, all night, Fritz came, loaded with bombs to distribute about us.
One night at eleven he landed a bomb in the midst of our tents. The sisters were all in bed (all who were not up looking at him—a risky game). Our tents were riddled with holes. We could push a fist through one in my tent. We were ordered off in our night clothes to the chateau.
Next morning a huge crater was revealed in our compound. Beside my stretcher, on the outside of the tent, a jagged piece of shrapnel, four inches long, was picked up—a souvenir which I brought along home.
After this, a worried C.O. made us sleep at the chateau (nine in one large room). We had gorgeous feather beds which, at first, gave us backache, so long had we been accustomed to hard stretchers.

Soft hands belong to those who want an easy life but they can also be an indication of sickness or thyroid problems, especially if the skin feels like cellophane stretched over a gel filling.
Softness also occurs during pregnancy and in the hands of vegetarians so it seems to signify a low level of iron in the blood.
Hot sweaty hands signify possible thyroid or glandular disorders.
Hot dry hands can indicate blood pressure, kidney disorders, and fever.
Cold hands indicate poor circulation, shock, or fever.
Clammy hands denote a sluggish liver.
Cold patches suggest uneven circulation due to heart disorders, especially when some parts of the fingers are warm and others are cool.
Color
If a hand changes color, it can indicate a health problem. Here are a few common ones.
Red: A smoker
Pale: Poor circulation or anemia
Gray/lilac/bluish: Heart trouble
Yellow: Liver trouble
The Lines
Tiny pits along the life line indicate backache, slipped discs, and other spinal problems.
If the problem is in the neck area, these will appear on the upper part of the line. If the lumbar region is painful, the pits show up much further down the line, beside or around the mount of Venus.
Chains on the head line indicate headaches or migraines.
Islands on this or the heart line can relate to problems with the eyes, ears or head.
A break can indicate a head injury. A truly strange head line with huge islands is a sign of mental illness.
A strange formation on the percussion that looks like a pair of tongs grabbing the end of the headline relates to insomnia.
Flakiness at the start of the heart line under the Mercury mount is a sign of heart trouble.
Any disturbance or island under Saturn/Jupiter where the line starts to bend upward is an indication of breast problems.
Feathering along the line can mean a shortage of potassium, which leads to depression.
Dots, pits, blue marks, grilles, discoloration, redness or anything else that is strange on any line can mean inflammation in some area of the body.
Disturbances low down on the mount of Neptune indicate problems for women.
If there is a triangle formation there which suddenly fills up with tine broken bits of line or which becomes red, pregnancy may be the reason!
A single wart represents a temporary problem. If this is on the palm, the person is his own worst enemy, but if it is on the back of the hand, someone else is causing the problem.
Once again, relate this to the part of the hand or to the finger in question.
Fingernails
Fingernails take around six to eight months to grow out from root to tip, so they show health or current or recent health and emotional problems.
Lateral dents show a period of illness or an upset when the nail was forming.
Longitudinal ridges suggest problems with bones and ligaments; the corresponding finger will show you the part of the body that is affected.
Jupiter fingernail on or near the head
Saturn fingernail the shoulders, spine, ribs or pelvis
Apollo fingernail the arms and legs
Mercury fingernail the forearms, wrists, lower legs, ankles and feet
Old palmistry books talk of “Hippocratic nails” or “watch glass nails.” If you imagine an old pocket watch the kind that used to hang on a chain the glass on the front was usually a convex or lens shape.
Nails of this shape revealed that the person was suffering from tuberculosis.
A young woman sat down and gave me her hands. I always start by looking at the back of the hand, so the first thing I saw was a full set of watch-glass nails.
This was a real first for me, and I commented that old palmistry texts would have said that she had TB. I have also seen this nail type in cases of lung cancer.
Sometimes bunches of tiny, shiny warts appear on some area of the hands especially on the sides of the hands and this can be a warning of cancer or other tumors.
Changes in the color or temperature of the hands can alert one to potential heart problems.
The post What hands say about health? appeared first on Buzz People.

It ensures mobility of hip joints and neck and give proper stretch to your spine.
It strengthens the muscles in the thighs, hips and back.
It provides stamina, balance, energy and develops focus.
The lower region of the spine supports the whole body and any malfunction in it due to either an injury or long hours spent working on computers can affect the working of the whole system. It is also said that approximately 80 out of 100 people suffer back pain or injuries once in their lifetime. To counter this, we can take help of yoga and strengthen the lower back – the natural way.
Let’s have a look at how routine lower back yoga exercises can make us stronger and healthier the easy and natural way.
Dhanurasana: The pose strengthens the lower back and abdominal muscles, keeping the whole back flexible.
Natarajasana: The pose stretches and tones lower back along with hips and abdominal muscles, making the spine flexible.
Setu Bandhasana: The pose strengthens the lower back and provides relief from backache.
Matsyasana: The pose eases tension in the lower back, while enhancing blood circulation in the hip joints.
Marjarisana: The pose stretches lower and upper back, and gives flexibility to the entire spinal cord.
Another major contributor to lower back pain is poor posture. Sitting with a hunched back and drooping shoulders can render the muscles in the lower back weak. Bad posture does not limit to just sitting. The way you stand, walk and even sleep can aggravate pain in the back. To avoid this, a conscious effort to improve the posture is required. Avoid sitting slumped down or walking with your back bent.
At work, use a chair that supports your back and lets you sit firmly with feet touching the ground. Also, get up once every hour or two and take a walk. This will help release tension in the back, stretch the muscles in the legs and relax your eyes. Doing office yoga will also help alleviate pain and let you work comfortably.
For better results, meditating for 20-minute after you end your yoga practice is highly recommended. This will help calm your mind, stay focused and enhance your productivity.
Other physical activities like swimming and regular walking also help in relieving the back of pain. Swimming strengthens your entire back, especially when you do backstroke and crawl strokes. So, 30-minutes of swimming daily can keep you away from back problems. Walking is also considered as one of the best exercises to strengthen your lower back. For those who always have a fight for time, 5-10 minutes of walk after each meal is a good option. Remember to focus on walking with a straight posture the next time you head out for a walk.
Obesity increases the pressure on the lower back and thus exposes you to a higher risk of lower back injury. Thus, adopting a healthy eating habit is also important. In addition, adopting an ayurvedic lifestyle along with regular practice of yoga can help accelerate the process of alleviating lower back pain.
While these yoga postures are highly beneficial, people suffering from any back injury or slip disc, are advised to consult their physician before practicing any of these yoga poses or other physical exercises.

Le Chateau de Sainte-Croix a Longuenesse – now the town hall of Longuenesse. No. 4 Canadian CCS were located in the grounds of this building from 11 July 1917. During enemy air raids, nursing sisters (including May Tilton & nurses of 3 A.C.C.S.) were billeted in the chateau.
The nights were like day, and as long as the moon lasted, the air raids lasted. Backwards and forwards, all night, Fritz came, loaded with bombs to distribute about us.
One night at eleven he landed a bomb in the midst of our tents. The sisters were all in bed (all who were not up looking at him—a risky game). Our tents were riddled with holes. We could push a fist through one in my tent. We were ordered off in our night clothes to the chateau.
Next morning a huge crater was revealed in our compound. Beside my stretcher, on the outside of the tent, a jagged piece of shrapnel, four inches long, was picked up—a souvenir which I brought along home.
After this, a worried C.O. made us sleep at the chateau (nine in one large room). We had gorgeous feather beds which, at first, gave us backache, so long had we been accustomed to hard stretchers.

The curse of bricklaying, BACKACHE, 30 years on the trowel as now taken its toll, wear & tear they say sorry can't help you, change your job !, not a lot on the cards for me at 50. Feeling sorry for myself day, stop being soft ! think of those who are really ill, feel better already !!!!!!!!
For over a decade I have been complaining of backaches and every one said you need to drop weight and increase exercise. Finally in January while getting a chest x-Ray the told me I have advanced scoliosis. Pictured in the Lumbar section is spine. It curves to the left and is crooked in my pelvis and has a three degree twist. The Upper spine has a larger curve but to the right and my collar bone to tilted, one inch lower on the left and the shoulder blade on the left side sticks out farther than the right side. Due to my age ( 2 months shy of 65 and diabetic) there is nothing these can do. Some disc are bulging and when the start pinching nerves they can surgically fix them. So for now it is epidural shot and localize painkiller injection and muscle relaxers. So I decide to keep on keeping on and get out once in a while to take photo. Some days are better than others, today is a bad day - it hurts to sit, lay down, stand or walk. Such is life.
I did my back in last night, lifting a full gas bottle. So today I am bedridden with my back glowing from the 'deep heat rub' and a trashy novel for easy reading.
The Netherlands Ilpendam.
Ilpendam is a village in the Waterland district, situated between the Purmer (a polder, built at the bottom of a former lake) and the North Holland Canal.
This canal stretches about 75 kilometres (depth 7 mtr), from Amsterdam to Den Helder and was constructed to shorten the sea route to Amsterdam. Also, the city's harbour was becoming inaccessible to seafaring ships due to the increasing number of shoals and shallows in the Zuiderzee. Digging this canal by shovel and wheelbarrow took 5 years (1819-1824) for 9.000 workers. Their wage: 50 cents and a backache a day.

Today is the forth anniversary or the 1,460 days since I had spinal surgery, which has destroyed my quality of life, so
I'd like to take this opportunity, to thank Consultant Adrian (the operation went according to plan) Casey & his team at UCLH Queens Square, for changing a fairly fit 54 year old man, who cycled on average 40 miles a week & was able to manage his bladder problems, into a 58 morbidly obese "couch potato", who is angry, frustrated & depressed, due to having new bowel problems & constant backache, which is preventing him (me) from enjoying my early retirement, hence all the local pictures!
