Triumph Trophy description

It's my opinion that only a handful of collectors are looking for concours restored bikes costing upwards of $15,000.  Most of us in the Triumph age demographic of 45 to 65 are looking for a handsome and reliable Sunday driver. So, consider this one.
I've sold most of my collection and down to the last few.  I bought this numbers matching Trophy a few years ago from a gent who started the restoration and ran out of energy or money or both.  The bike was completely disassembled and the motor was redone, so he said.  I did not split the cases to verify exactly what was done however, I did pull the head and found new pistons and a fresh valve grind so I made the assumption, based on what I saw, that it was done right.  No instruments were with the bike so mileage is unknown. The frame and tins were professionally painted.  The tank is a new reproduction.  I then went to my inventory to upgrade and/or add items:  Seat is Birtish Wassell; fenders are original stainless in very nice condition; rims are Jones and Dunlop with some light pitting, but very presentable; lights are original with Lucas lamp and lens; harness is new British cloth reproduction; exhaust is used but quite nice with proper crossover and I believe it to be original.  (As a "C" model, it should have high pipes but I couldn't see spending another $600-$800 to source the correct exhaust which just drives up my cost and your price.)  I prefer to use stainless fasteners wherever I can.  I added a tach drive as I like the look of both instruments mounted.  Gauges are genuine Smiths completely refurbished.  New handlebars, throttle, levers, cables, grips and rubbers all around.  It's now running an electronic rectifier and a Pazon ignition.  Comes with center stand and side stand which both work beautifully. Don't need the wood block.
You'll be getting a restored and very desirable TR6C at less than half the above referenced cost.  I timed it and set the carb by ear.  Starts easily and idles properly but you'll need to re-torque and tweak the tune as you sort it out and run it in.  It's fresh with only a few test miles.  Signed Michigan title.

Triumph Sets Sales Record but Suffers First Operating Loss Since 2009

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Triumph sold 52,089 motorcycles from its fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, setting a new company record for annual sales. At the same time, the company announced an operating loss of £95,000 (US$155,300), the company’s time in the red since 2009. Much of the operating loss was caused by foreign currency exchanges and the cost of starting up manufacturing facilities in Brazil and India.

A weekend of Lawn mower racing, Big Ed, Muc Off and Carlsberg

Mon, 14 Jun 2010

Around this time every summer the BMF hold the Garden Of England Motorcycle Show otherwise known as GEMS. The show happens to be round the corner from me so event sponsors MCE Insurance kindly sent me some passes so I could have a look around. Apart from the usual trade stands and crazy arena antics one of the highlights was the national lawn mower racing championship.
