Triumph Tiger description

This beautiful vintage bike was rebuilt from the ground up by myself and my father in the early nineties. When we rebuilt it we replaced the points with a Boyer Bransden electronic ignition. I have a workshop manual, owners manual and miscellaneous spare parts included in this sale. This was my primary bike that I rode and enjoyed for almost 10 years. When I stopped riding it and stored it in 1998, it was still running, but I had moved on to a larger bike. 

The bike has approximately 4,000 miles since I had the engine rebuilt by 6th Street Specials in New York, NY. Right before I put it in storage, I resealed the gas tank due to a small leak, but no gas has been in the tank since it's been stored - inside garage storage.  It's currently missing a battery and tachometer cable.

Just prior to creating this listing I checked, and the engine is free and turns over.

100% transparency, I have not run the bike since it was stored. There is a small crack in the seat pan that needs to be welded. The frame number and engine numbers are mismatched which is how I purchased it from the previous owner in the early nineties. Bike is not completely original - was rebuilt with the intention of riding so the front fender and seat cover are aftermarket. This bike will need some work before it's street ready because it's been sitting for nearly 20 years... I imagine seals, gaskets and other items that would need to be replaced on any vehicle that's been in storage this long. 

Due to the age of the bike there is no title, but I do have the last transferable registration from NY state. Currently I have the bike in NC. 

Bike is sold as is. Minimum $1500 deposit must be sent within 3 days of end of auction. Buyer must arrange delivery; however, seller will assist in any way reasonable.

Ford Ranger Wildtrak: part one

Sat, 20 Feb 2010

Picked up our Ford Ranger Wildtrak pickup last week. She’s massive, blue and bestowed with a three-litre turbo diesel engine that’s so torquey you can set off in first gear with no throttle at all. Going to be perfect for humping bikes and people and gear around, that’s fo’ sho’.

2024 Triumph Tiger 900 Review – First Ride

Fri, 12 Jan 2024

Upgrades for All Since its launch in 2020, Triumph’s Tiger 900 platform has been impossible to keep out of the middleweight ADV conversation. With 45,000 sold to date, Triumph clearly didn’t need to reinvent the wheel with its 2024 models, but there are a few key revisions across both the Tiger 900 GT and Rally Pro models that really make them shine even brighter on and off road. After arriving in Malaga, Spain, Triumph sat us down for a brief presentation to tell us all about the new updates for 2024.
