Triumph Trident description

1974 TRIUMPH Trident T150V

Up for auction we have a Classic Triumph Trident T150V  750

This bike is a nice barn find as found. It appears to be in a " mostly original" state with a few exceptions and/or upgrades. It's a kick & go machine. You classic guys will know the drill of tickle the carbys and kick. When done properly the machine fires up effortlessly.

here a few details:

The seat is a factory Triumph seat and functions fine, however it isn't the T150 seat and does have a piece of black tape (see pictures)on the back of it. Under the hinged seat, there are a few sections of replacement wire. Our guess is at some point the sections had become brittle from the heat generated and needed to be replaced.

The front brake master cylinder has been refitted with typical Triumph new re issue equipment and works well. The front wheel bearing are fresh sealed replacements. The steering neck bearings are rideable but notchy and should be upgraded to tapered cups & bearings if the new owner intends to put any serious miles in.

We are selling this bike for a customer, and have tried to portray  the bikes condition as accurate as possible. If you have a question , feel free to ask before bidding and we will do our best to  get back to you with an answer. This bike will be a nice addition to a collection as is, to restore if you like, or simply care for it and ride as meant to be.

ATTENTION BIDDERS:

-This is a NO RESERVE auction/ US ONLY/ No International sales

-No trades/ prefer item pickup but will work with your shipper.

-We offer no crating service

  To be paid in full via PayPal or certified cashiers check within 3 days of auction end.

----Bid a fair amount and the bike is yours ! ----- GOOD LUCK !

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.

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?
