Winning Bike of the Month - September 2009

Here is my 1970 TR6R.




This is my first Triumph. My Dad always had Triumphs for as long as I can remember. He was a huge help getting it to look like this. It was a total mess when brought home.

It now starts on the first kick. Still uses the original carb and ignition. It has a original pattern seat (No repo). NOS Champion bakelite plug caps, the fuel lines have been changed since this picture to the right ones.

All of the right stickers in place since the pictures also. It received 94 1/2 points at the Wauseon show last year. It turns a lot of heads at when sitting at the light.

I get a thumbs up every time I ride it. I just rode it on a almost 200 mile road trip this past Saturday. Not one problem.

Congratulations to you and your Dad, you've got something to be proud of there.

The fact you won over a Hinckley Classic Triple, well I'm heartbroken !

Ride on !

Yeah!

NW Ohio, getting things done right! Beautiful bike! You mentioned the Wauseon show. I actually spent my first 18 years of life in Wauseon. Looks like us NW Ohio boys have good taste!

I want to thank you Guys for all the votes. I really didn't think I would win, or even win by 27 votes. It really means a lot that you guys think so much of it. I'm really proud of my bike. I going to go out and give the "Old Girl" a bath right now. I rode to work four times this week. It's a little dirty.

Thanks again !!
