Used Dirt Bike

This is a great, reliable 50s/60's era Triumph T20 Tiger Cub trials bike. I am not sure of the year. Please check with your go-to Triumph guru for frame and engine manufacture dates. I do not believe that the engine/frame are matched.  The frame number is T71743. The engine number is T20 4959. The engine has been rebuilt and is on original bore. It runs and idles excellent, with no oil leaks and no ticks or unusual sounds of any sort. No fuel leaks either... except from when you tickle the carburetor to start it. I ride this bike almost daily, to run my dogs 2 miles down and back a country gravel road, which runs beside/behind my farm.

Both front and rear shocks operate well, with good dampening down and back up (these are oil filled forks of course). It has the light plastic trials tank. It has the oil tank modification - putting an "oil in frame" stub tank between the upper frame and the tank (can not be seen, except for front fill cap)(great workmanship on this modification)(2.2" diameter x approximately 18" length). It has Preston Petty Products "mini Mudder" plastic fenders front and rear. 18" rear and 21" front rims. No rust on rear rim. Some rust on front rim (has been treated and sealed). No rust on spokes. Needs new rubber front and back. Current rear rubber is slightly too wide and is scraped slightly by chain on one side and spark arrestor on other. Bearings on front and rear wheels are great. No leaks on forks and boots are supple. No leaks on rear shocks either. Header scratched significantly at front bend (see pics). No wobbles, tight forks/trees, swing arm, etc. Renthal bars. Clutch works flawlessly and does not slip whatsoever.

The bike is Trials competition or vintage motocross ready. It can easily run on the road as well. I have taken it on a 1 hour road ride in 90 degree weather, with no issues. It runs like a champ. If you want it to be street legal, you will need to add the necessary components (battery, wiring harness modification, headlight, tail light and brake light actuator assembly). I am happy to do that for an additional charge (call for quote, if that is something you want to pursue). BIKE IS SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY. If I do end up getting it street legal for you, I am happy to get it titled, but you will need to pay for that expense (inspection, title and registration).

A deposit of $100 via Paypal is due within 24 hours after sale. The balance is due within 3 days after sale. Please call to arrange payment and shipping details. Sale is at my door step. I will assist the transport company, but you must set up the shipping with a transportation company.  You take ownership at pick up from my door. I will ship internationally, same details as far as transport and ownership. 913-594-2798 Mike

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.
