1970 Triumph Trophy

Clear

THIS BIKE HAS BEEN SITTING NEXT DOOR FROM MY SHOP AT LEAST 15 YEARS, IT WAS GIVEN TO MY FRIEND BY HIS BROTHER AND EVEN BACK THEN HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG HIS BROTHER HAD IT, HIS BROTHER HAS SINCE DIED. THE ENGINE AND FRAME NUMBERS MATCH, AND THEY ARE ND29325, IT WAS MFG IN OCT. 1970, IT RUNS, I TOOK OFF THE CARBURATOR AND SOAKED IT, CLEANED UP THE POINTS, ADJUSTED THE VALVES, STUCK IN A BATTERY AND TO MY SURPRISE THIRD KICK IT FIRED UP, ACCORNS AND RATS NEST MATERIAL FLEW OUT OF THE MUFFLERS, IT WAS KINDA OF COMICAL, IT DIDN'T SMOKE AND ONCE IT WARMED UP IT IDLED, TO MY SURPRISE THE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THERE IS NO HISTORY ON THIS MOTORCYCLE OTHER THAN IT CAME FROM GEORGIA, AND THEY DON'T ISSUE TITLES ON OLDER BIKES, JUST THE BILL OF SALE, AND YOU WILL GET A BILL OF SALE IF YOU WIN THIS. THIS IS A GOOD PROJECT FOR A RESTORATION, SOMEBODY TOOK IT APART 15 PLUS YEARS AGO AND PAINTED THE FRAME AND ALL THE OTHER PARTS BUT FOR SOME REASON PUT THE OLD DIRTY PARTS ( ENGINE, EXHAUST, WHEELS, ETC...) BACK ON IT, WHEN THIS BIKE WAS TAKEN OUT OF STORAGE, IT WAS THICK WITH DIRT AND DUST AND MY FRIEND CLEANED IT AND WE WERE SURPRISED THAT SOMEBODY TOOK TIME TO PAINT THOSE ITEMS AS MENTIONED EARLIER, IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE TO SEE HOW THE BIKE CLEANED UP. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS NO SPEEDOMETER, SO TO LIST IT I JUST PUT A 1,000 MILES ON THE LISTING, OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIST IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MILIAGE IS. CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS, MORE DEALS TO COME SO KEEP LOOKING YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT ELSE WILL SHOW UP NEXT !!
