Triumph Daytona description

Nice running 1972 Triumph Daytona with Original Paint. This is one for the collector who likes originality. The original paint is a little dull, but has no damage. A good buffing would brighten it up again. This bike only has 4,511 original miles. These are original miles, and it's on the clear Ohio title as such. This is a two owner bike. The original owner passed away in the 1970s and his brother kept it stored away in his house. The seat is almost like new. The chrome rims are rust free. The tires are almost 100 percent tread but they are old. They may even be original but I have no verification they are. This bike runs excellent. Starts easily. All lights work good. It has a brand new battery. The one I took out was the original. The only thing I can find wrong with this bike is that it sometimes likes to come out of first gear back to neutral. If you keep your foot down on the shifter until ready to shift to second gear, that seems to work well. The engine is clean and leaks absolutely no oil. The engine is for sure the original, with the same VIN numbers as the frame and title. See picture. The kick start rubber is missing but I have one on order. The only thing this bike needed after sitting in a house since the 70s was the carbs rebuilt. That was done along with new oil and that's all it took. It really does run nice now. Comes with the new parts manual you see in the pictures. If you are a British bike collector, I think you'll like this one. It's not a restored bike, so don't expect it to be like new. Some of the bolt heads have some corrosion, and the spokes need cleaned. The chrome on the headlight has very minor rust. The mufflers are very nice. Very clean under the seat. Looks like none of the wiring has ever been messed with. This is definitely one nice original Triumph. I don't have a crazy reserve on it. I have sold a lot of classic motorcycles on ebay, and off ebay. I am also buying classic bikes of any make, so I'm open for trade, or make me a good offer. I may even buy your bike. Send me pictures. Email me with any questions or for my phone number. I have experience shipping bikes all over the U.S. and over seas. So please don't hesitate to bid if you are not in the United States. I DO NOT use pay pal for motorcycle purchases. Please do not bid if you can't send me a certified bank check, or do a bank to bank wire transfer. If you have less than two feedbacks, please email me first or I will cancel your bid. I don't like to do this but I've had bidders with no feedback not pay me before, and it's more trouble than you can imagine. I had ONE negative feedback several years ago because someone didn't send payment for three weeks, so I went ahead and sold the vehicle to someone else, then sent the guys check back. He then gave me a negative. I have references in the US, U.K. Australia, even Norway, and can supply them if you are worried about buying a bike out of your country. Buyer responsible for all shipping costs, but I will help you the whole way until the bike is at your door. If you are picking the bike up yourself, I require time for your certified check to clear. I expect full payment within 3 days. I will accept cash if you are picking it up within 3 days of the end of this auction. I can store the bike up to 30 days, but I still expect full payment within 3 days. I have the bike for sale locally also, so I will remove from the auction if I sell it. If you want the bike and don't want to wait, make me a good offer. I never ask top dollar for my bikes. I just like to find them and get them in the hands of collectors, at very fair prices. Thank you for reading my ad, and hope to hear from you soon. Good luck and God Bless.

If Carlsberg made race circuits...

Fri, 15 Oct 2010

I should have filed this blog an hour earlier but I became distracted by the human circus that is the Jeremy Kyle show. It’s a shameful admission, I know, but I’m a firm believer in the policy of honesty being the best. Enjoying the luxury of working from home, I was only making myself a bacon sandwich with the TV on in the background when excited cries of ‘Freak, Freak!’ from Mrs MF drew my attention to this (see pic).

Motorcycle Freestyle Rider Ernie Vigil Puts Triumph’s Scrambler Through The Wringer [Video]

Wed, 21 Mar 2012

  With its on/off-road tires, spoke wheels, high rise dual exhaust, protective fork gators and flat one-piece seat and handlebar, Triumph’s Scrambler evokes notions of a McQueen-esque go anywhere, do anything machine in a modern motorcycle. It’s probably safe to assume few Scrambler owners today put their retrofied rides to the test, seeing just how much abuse the 865cc parallel-Twin-powered Scrambler can take. However, in this Triumph North America video, freestyle rider Ernie Vigil (the video’s editor and co-creator) does what most Scrambler owners wish they were capable of with their new/old Trumpet.

Bonneville from a parallel universe

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

This is the Triumph Speed Twin Concept, a bike commissioned by Triumph to show what the Bonneville might have evolved into, in a parallel universe. I love the concept. Designed by Roy Norton and Tom Kasher who were on a placement at a design studio, I get the impression the pair are into motorcycle and not just designers.
