Triumph Other description

1957 Triumph 650 cc  Reconstructed in 1968 after the owner got back from Vietnam.  It became a full on chopper the day, complete just as built and painted, two fiberglass fuel tanks with different paint and same theme.  Previous owner was updating the electronics and installing new rings and bearings.  It is currently 20 over and everything looks great has all new gaskets, appears to all be there, including extra clutch basket and some extra lighting Maltese Crosses.  Frame is all custom molded everywhere.


This bike is period correct and make a bad ass ride or new paint and assembly and would be a hell of a Vintage ride.  Had one owner since reconstruction in Pennsylvania in 1972.  Had new tires put on it and new electronics and never got to be reassembled by the owner.  Cylinders in great shape crank and rods look good and pistons and rings in good shape.  The pre-unit trans is very cool.  This bike will be a big hit for someone !!  Both fuel tanks signed by artist !!!  

Please take a look at all pictures and you can see that it just needs the right person to put it back together.  This is being sold "As Is", and no returns.  If you'd like more pictures I can email them or if you have any questions, please send me an email, as we know the history and person this came from.  It is for sale locally and we reserve the right to end auction at any time.  Sorry can not sell or ship to Alaska or Hawaii.

First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

Tested: Bridgestone BT-016 Pro's

Fri, 17 Jun 2011

Two months ago I had a set of Bridgestone BT-016 Pro’s fitted to my Triumph Speed Triple. Before setting out on the new tyres, the Speed had covered 4000 miles. Now with just over 7000 on the clock the rear tyre is on the limit markers.
