That is quite a collection you have! I love those old Triumphs. They have an awesome exhaust note to them. My dad started out on Triumphs like yours,but when he got his first CB750 he stuck with them. He still brags about the Triumphs,though. ''So much torque it would climb a tree if you could get it to stick to it''. Seriously ,I have been hearing that exact sentence for years now.

One time he went to the beach with some friends who all rode Harleys. One fellow was very proud of his Harley and also very irritated at my Dads filthy Triumph. He refused to ride with them until my Dad washed his bike and cleaned all the grease off the back tire!Dad refused to clean it and they all took off anyway. Long story short,the Harley died in the very early morning hours a few hundred miles from home on the way back in. It got towed by rope behind my Dad's Limey allll the way back home!Greasy wheel and all!
