Nice lookin' bike.

I can always recognize those vertical twins when they approach. The closest thing I ever had to a Triumph of that vintage was a "Cut Out On A '69 Triumph" brochure I got at the Sportsman Show. It had perforations around each bike. Unfortunately it got tossed in the late 1970s.

I did briefly have a Yamaha TX500 twin that was similar to a Triumph Tiger 500 . A trio of different Yamaha Observed Trials bikes.

I still have the '84 Honda XL350R I bought new in April '84.

First licensed bike was a '77 DT-125

After breaking my wrist over Christmas I cannot imagine myself being able to roll the throttle anytime soon, if ever...

 

Those old Triumphs were known for nice handling because of the rake, and they were electric & kick-start, tickle the carbs. The original Triumph brand continued to 1983. Years later the name was bought and applied to new line of bikes. They do try to capitalize on the retro style.

That thumper is sweet. Most of the ones I have seen have had the "cafe" treatment or been bobbed. Very refreshing seeing a stock Triumph.

Still for sale. PM your email if interested and I will forward a feature sheet.

Maybe you know someone.......call now...........donation to Todd if sold here.........

How much are you asking Bernie?

 Asking CA$11,000 obo. An almost identical 67 just sold for US$10,500 on Bring A Trailer.

Have had some interest from the US but they are very hesitant about the border and paperwork.

For some reason my feature sheet won't post here so if anyone wants a copy plz PM your email address.

Thanx George

You're right about these being a great riding experience. Not for the faint of heart.

Some medical issues have caused me to sell the bikes. Sold the '02 Triumph to a good friend in Barrie and now

our pride and joy of almost 50 years may be going. This is a bike rider's bike with kick start, mechanical brakes

and just shear joy of ownership. Hoping the new owner will appreciate it as we have.

Beautiful bike Bernie, as were the comparable Norton and BSA of the era. I used to see a lot of these makes in the early 70s before Honda, Kawasaki etc rose to market dominance.

Heart breaker sale but would love to see this go to someone that will ride and maintain it.....

lots of money spent recently getting it running correctly. Have reduced price.......

 

It's hard to believe that you still have it Bernie.

If it was on PEI, I would take the chance of running the roads with it.

You should try selling on Facebook Marketplace. Friend of mine in Strathroy sold a couple of bikes last week and was bombarded with emails from all over the world. A guy from Montreal drove down and bought one of them.

Thanx for the Facebook suggestion but at present we are not on FB.

(We may be the only ones that aren't).

Would really prefer to sell it without mainline advertising.

Hoping to get a buddy over that can kick start it and do a start/running video.

Been watching Mecum and Hemmings and several similar bikes have sold from US10,000 to $12,500.

If a CP member was interested and could come and get it that CA$9500. would do it......
