Triumph Other description


The bike was purchased out of the collection of Mike Crone by Randy Baxter in 2012.   Baxter Cycle sold it on to me in 2013.

Pacific Blue and Alaskan White.  It is a solid #2 Condition.   Excellent  driver.  Borderline show.   Tank and fender repaint was done with real pin-striping, not tape

My guess is that the speedo was zeroed out, perhaps at restoration.

All stock, proper parts.......horn, instruments, headlight lens, etc. 

Currently registered on Penna. antique plates.  

Specifics:

Seat is possibly the original, judging from condition.

Tires:   Avon Speedmaster Mkll 3.50x19 and Dunlop Gold Seal 4.00x18.

Carbs: correct Amal Monobloc, 376/324 and 376/325 (float bowl, left side only)

This is a very, very early T100 R.   It’s among the first twin carb “Daytona” models.  I would be happy to share some interesting reports about this bike from Justin James, of the VMCC (in the UK).  Justin is also author of http://www.triumph-tiger-90.com/

Check the price guides and recent auction, and I think you’ll see that my $8750 asking price is more than reasonable.  And, I am willing to consider trades, either up or down.

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?

Pedrosa: most wins, least successful

Wed, 11 May 2011

Should Dani Pedrosa win at Le Mans this coming weekend he will become the most successful rider In the premier-class not to win the coveted title. After his triumph in Estoril the Repsol Honda rider currently finds himself on 13 wins and in joint first and a win, at a circuit that sees him rank as one of riders with the most victories in all classes, would make him a clear leader. Joining Pedrosa at the top of the ranking is Max Biaggi and Randy Mamola, two riders who became associated with the number two.

Church of MO: 2002 Triumph 955i Daytona First Ride

Sun, 03 Apr 2022

For a while there it looked like Triumph wanted to play the superbike game with the rest of the world. But slimming down the 955i Daytona by losing its original one-sided swingarm, and other weight-saving measures, sometimes seemed more like cost-cutting ones. And maybe Triumph sensed the imminent demise of the superbike a bit earlier than some others.
