THE TUESDAY TRITON

HAPPY GOING NOWHERE

 

If you read Guy's blog you may remember this post last month about Dave, his Bantam and their epic voyage to the Trip Out.
The little stinkwheel now has some EtR stickers ...

"here's some snaps of my first bike (with engine)...a '57 Bantam D3...got the bug badly and had to do something about it...didn't have the bottle for crime and/or prostitution, so a decrepit Bantam it had to be...that was arse-end of last year...been merrily fiddlin', fettlin', fuckin' it up then fixin' it again ever since...figuring it out...somehow passed my motorbike test having had no lessons (legal ones anyhows) in May, got the bike re-registered same month and got it through it's fist mot in 30 odd years a couple of months ago...been riding it/breaking down ever since...fuckin' love it...even though the thought of a faster, meaner, older (?!) bike still keeps me up at night and day-dreaming throughout the day...the small red machine keeps me happy for now..."

Also check out Dave's blog Happy Going Nowhere where you will read about more heroic exploits.

ROBS NEW RACER 2

Remember Robs' Mini back in August 2010 ? It was super fast (for a Mini) but also pretty hard to drive and maintain. Great for racing circuits but a big handful in the real world of bumpy closed road rallying. He took it to the Isle of Mull Rally that year and brought it home in a skip......

...two long years later it has a new shell, new suspension and a new engine, milder but still 160 donks. He's off to Mull again tomorrow, he's taking it steady, I'll let you know !

Have a look at the Mull Rally website, theres a short video on the home page.

VINTIQUE

 

I was going to post this after chatting with Sean (Frankie) at the Trip Out and Benjo just jogged my memory. Sean rebuilt the sad remains of Vintique Cycles and is adding new parts to the store almost daily. Having been among Harleys and chops most of his working life he knows the game and isnt just another "retailer" looking to jump on the bandwagon.
Go Here and shop with confidence.

DONT STOP ME NOW

 

Some of you out there will know Simo (Chris Simmons) as a collector and rider of some superb vintage bikes, an all round top bloke and also someone i count as a true friend. You may not know that his 9 to 5 is as senior executive for a charity called Vitalise who organise and run much needed holidays for disabled people and their carers in the UK.
 They have just made this film in the wake of the highly successful 2012 Paralympics which features the guests and volunteer workers at their respite break centre in Southport.
  These are good people, if you want to know more or give them your support you can do so via their website

MAKEOVER

 

Done a few cosmetics to the "stop gap" Triumph. As usual with something bought to run just while your best bike is in bits it ends up being better. The intention was to sell it at the end of the season but there's a couple of months of occasional days out to go yet.
Now i need to put the windows in and cut the grass before winter.

TRIUMPH ENGINE FOR SALE

 

Triumph 350 engine. Built by a retired engineer as a bit of a project to go in a sprint bike. Originally a T21 with the gearbox cut off, later crank, Daytona reprofiled cams with R followers, lightened timing wheels and polished rockers, Morgo pump, flowed and ported head and inlet, dural engine plates to take AMC/Norton gearbox and bracket with pulleys to mount a K2F Lucas magneto just behind the barrels. Barrel and head fins shaved and reshaped. Too lovely for words. £400. Can post within UK.

LORANS' A10

 

Owned since he was a just a 20 year old puppy (he is now about 22 or 23 or something). Fellow Francoise Hardy fan Loran got his old A10 on the road again this year with a part or two from me. More pics and good stuff on his blog at mungochino
