Triumph Scrambler description

## This "Special/purpose built" Scrambler/short-circuit/trials/road-trails bike is the only one like it in the World
.
## It started its life as a Greeves 200cc Scottish Trials bike back in the early 60's - it was refitted with a Triumph Tiger 500cc kit from the UK back in the late 60's by a renown Qld scramble rider - it was raced very successfully - the next owner was an aircraft engineer, who refurbished the entire bike with just about everything replaced with new bitz or reconditioned - this amazing piece of machinery is just waiting for the right person too screw the quick action throttle, either in competition of road use


## The engine is believed to be one of ten produced for the Royal English Navy in 1967 with low compression, responsive cam, single carb, different gear ratios and an outside selection lever.


## These were raced World wide by the top riders and won many/many/many World titles - every bike is different since it was up to the "builder" to put his/her finishing touches to the final product.


## The bike is equipped with electronic ignition, mirrors, quiet muffler, speedo, lights and horn - it is ready for a road certificate or strip and race with the "golden oldies"


## Rear brake is by cable, Sammy Miller bitz, Greeves handle bars, English rims, Amal quick action throttle/carby, Triumph head-light, Enfield muffler, chain-oiler, a special purpose built alloy oil tank/air cleaner box, motor/gear-box refurbished, brakes and suspension renewed - starts and runs beautifully.

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.

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

AMA Hall of Fame member Craig Vetter will be the featured guest at its annual AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona, on Friday, March 14, at 7:00 a.m., at the Daytona 500 Club on the infield at Daytona International Speedway.  “Craig Vetter’s impact is far-reaching, starting with the design of the iconic Windjammer fairings of the 1970s, continuing with motorcycle designs like the Triumph X-75 Hurricane and the limited-edition ‘Mystery Ship,’ and enduring more recently with a resurrected series of motorcycle fuel economy runs that push the boundaries of everyday streamlining,” said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which oversees the Hall of Fame. “We’re proud to host motorcycling’s design professor emeritus for this year’s Breakfast at Daytona.” Taking place during 2014 Daytona Bike Week, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Breakfast at Daytona fundraiser will feature a live interview with Vetter on stage, an audience Q&A period and an autograph session with Vetter and other Hall of Famers in attendance. The event is open to the public, and tickets are available now at www.motorcyclemuseum.org.
