Triumph 500 5T Speed Twin description

Quite nice, unrestored (or restored some time ago) 1948 Triumph twin. Bought from the Ed Brooks estate in 2011. Raber's did quite a bit of work to the inside of the engine and trans, which sadly wasn't quite as nice as the exterior. It runs and rides now as it should, though I find it a bit undergeared If I end up keeping it, a change of crankshaft sprocket will be in order.

Clean California title, no issues. I will assist with shipping details but will not crate. Shipping otherwise the responsibility of the buyer. Price negotiable.

Interested parties can call four zero eight three one six seven two zero five. Thanks for looking.

Vintage Bike Stash Found in Ohio

Brim’s Imports is a vintage motorcycle shop disguised as a used car dealership, and chances are you’ve never heard of the place or its proprietor, Tom Brim. If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.

A thing of beauty?

The weather was pretty good over the weekend and I managed to get 500 miles in and become better acquainted with the Speed Triple. I’m still running it in but as it’s reputation suggest the bike doesn’t disappoint. There are some noticeable differences over most other naked bikes I’ve ridden, you could call them quirks, but i'll talk about those in a week or so.
