1959 Triumph

1959 Triumph Hill Climber Machine Best Offer Buys it! Hello fellow eBayers! Own a piece of motorcycling history. For sale is Tom Hines 45 Inch Championship HillClimber. It is a 500cc 1959 Triumph 5TA. He used it to compete and win several Hill Climb competitions. Tom took this otherwise stock motorcycle and welded a longer swingarm on it for more leverage. He also dismantled the engine and ‘tweaked’ the internals to make it an even better machine. The bike was last operated in 1972 and has been residing in the garage ever since. We left the dust and blemishes in place for proper restoration. Tom won the Harley-Davidson Dealers Assoc. Hill Climb event in Corvallis Oregon three years in a row from 1961-62-63. The Association was so discouraged by the event being won by a Triumph that they completely cancelled the event there after! In 1962 he won the Canadian National Hill Climb event in London Ontario. Tom passed away May 3, 2008 from Melanoma cancer and is greatly missed by his friends and family. The last photo is a picture of Tom working on this bike.
