  • Triumph Motorcycles Timeline the Glory Years, 1963-1972
    6/18/2021 Triumph Motorcycles Timeline: The Glory Years, 1963-1972 Triumph Motorcycles timeline 1963-1972: The Glory Years See bottom of page for links to other eras in Triumph's history New: Post your comments, opinions, and ask questions on my new FORUM. Tiger 90, high performance 350 3TA introduced, similar to T100S/S. All 650s, (including Bonnies, 1963 Tbirds, TR6, Trophy) are built with a new unit construction engine/gear box. Tina T10, 100cc scooter with automatic transmission introduced (designed by Turner). The US-only TR6SC, a pure desert racer with straight pipes, was produced: basically a single-carb T120, very fast. 650s all get new coil ignition. First year for T120 unit construction models. The Bonnie undergoes numerous and significant upgrades to its engine, gearbox, transmission and frame (after toying with a duplex design, Triumph instead made a larger diameter downtube to combat wobble and weave). A special TT model (T120C/TT) is produced until 1967 for the USA, due to the encouragement of Bill Johnson, of Johnson Motors ("Jo-Mo"). This is a stripped-down racing model, only made until 1966 for the US market. Two US dealers on a camping trip come up with the idea for the T20M Mountain Cub, combining Tiger Cub, Sports Cub and trials Cub parts. First sold in USA in 1964, proves very successful. BSA closes the Ariel factory at Selly Oak. The last Ariels in production, the Leader and Arrow, are manufactured at BSA's factory in Small Heath until 1965. Norton Atlas released. AMC acquires James. Norman ceases production.

  • Together at Last
    Together at Last Rebuilding motorcycles is more fashionable today than ever before. But when it comes to fulfilling a 40-year-old dream, enthusiastic tinkering is no substitute for methodical planning and execution. Given enough money, you can build any motorcycle. When it comes to replicas of famous racing machines or reborn “old flames”- there is no shortage of brand or model specialists. But if it’s something that has never been done before, experience says it will take time, patience, negotiation and hard work as well as money. This project , a motorcycle with a Norton Commando engine and Rob North frame is typical. The builder lives in Liechtenstein and prefers to remain anonymous. His resumé is typical of many biker/ mechanics; boundless enthusiasm and adventurous experiences with his first lightweights, then technical problems with the first heavy machines, followed by extensive training as a vehicle technician, designer and, finally, engineer. Starting a family, his professional life, other hobbies initially put motorcycling on hold. But memories of brisk English twins kept coming back. A bevel drive Ducati would also have been possible, but the great fascination had always been Formula 750 and long-distance racing machines from the early 1970s. As a technician, he had closely followed the efforts of a number of european suspension specialists. In particular, the performance of the English frame builder Rob North, whose frame helped the Triumph and BSA triples to an unexpected winning streak from Daytona to Le Mans in 1971. Replicas of the triples are relatively easy to find, but it had to be something very special.

  • Content List Triumph
    Contents List ~ The 6th Edition Triumph CD Collection The Sixth Edition is again on DVD format, and has over 30 new additions to the collection plus some revision/additions to the Service Sheets. As always, there are lots of memorabilia, reproductions of old advertising material , much material for the twins and triples of course (including a fabulous rebuild guide for the 63-67 650cc twins), a complete revision and addition of the Service Sheet Collection, and a whole lot of new material for the Service Section – some of it originally “Dealers Only” stuff. Again, I am indebted to many people for lending me material from their collections including Greg Snider for the TR5t, 1973 handbook, Simon Beard, and various others over the years. This Edition’s outstanding contributor is Peter Hemingway from Bristol, UK. Peter, I thank you more than mere words can say! Oh yes! Add Torsten Beck at Ago's Motorcycles, Residenz am Ulrichswäldchen, 61197 Florstadt, Nieder Mockstadt, and Randall Cadby in NSW. What you have below is the Contents of the TRIUMPH DVD, folder by Folder. The main SUB-HEADINGS reflect the Folder Names on the CD, the smaller Bold Print reflects the actual file names within the folders, the unbolded writing is simply the description of the actual file contents. Anything with the word NEW next to the file name is NEW to this latest edition. Don’t forget, if you like this DVD we also do ones for BSA, NORTON, and AJS/Matchless. Please contact us by e-mail at [email protected] . Kim The CD Man IMPORTANT NOTE ON PRINTING I have found that a very few customers have had trouble printing some of the pages on some of these files, where they come out as “mirror images”.
