  1. Classic, Vintage & Veteran Photos
    Not sure anyone would be interested, but……I dug out some photos of bikes I owned in the 60s and 70s. One thing that comes to mind immediately is……how incredibly reliable the modern Triumphs are in comparison. In order of date of ownership:- 1958 3TA 1964 Tiger Cub 1964 Royal Enfield (in which...

    Hi All, I have posted a couple of times. I figure I will start and maintain a thread as I go about my project. A few things about this project: I have some mechanical experience, but never rebuilt or restored anything, or worked on a bike. This is my late father's bike since it was new. 1969...
  4. T3 Sport / Touring Forum
    Morning all, A few months back I managed to bag myself a deal on a non runner. I love a project and the price was so good I couldn't say no.

    I spent last summer fixing up this 1971 T100C Trophy 500, a gift from my father-in-law before he past away. Triumph of Seattle referred me to a local expert to help me work on the bike. Full rebuild of the engine, new carb, your name it we likely did it. I was able to ride the bike last fall...

    We found this restaurant in Linares on our last night in Mexico for our obligatory cabrito dinner. They had to send out for our cervezas micheladas. From here we rode home by way of Montemorelos, China, Reynosa, McAllen and Corpus Christi. Four days, 1250 miles, about $250 apiece.
  10. MotoDiscovery Tour Group, Mexico Trip 2/08

    We ran into a tour group from MotoDiscovery (based in San Antonio, TX) finishing a 10-day Central Mexico tour. We saw them leaving Xilitla the day before. Nice bunch but since we were riding faster and farther, we didn't stick with them.
