Old Bike Journal - Tiny Triumph Trials Replica - Sammy Miller would approve

Cover Story: Tiny Triumph Trials Replica - Sammy Miller would approve. Let's start off by saying while this is not the real deal, it sure looks like a pretty exacting replica of Sammy Miller's tiny Triumph trials machine he made quite a name for himself with in England.

1917 Triumph Model H to 1975 Triumph T160 Trident - Evolution of a Classic

Evolution of a Classic - Vintage advertisement includes the 1917 Triumph Model H and the 1975 Triumph T-160 Trident.

A classic motorcycle doesn't happen overnight. It evolves over weeks and months and years. Triumph should know. We began designing motorcycles at the turn of the century and built our first in 1902. Many turned out to be classics -and we are justifiably proud of them. Meet two Triumph classics.

1968 Twin Engine Triumph

Cover: What started out as an engine testbed for Triumph-Detroit's world-record-holding Gyronaut streamliner has been "retired" to the street. And, wow, what a street-machine it is; the engines are flexible, starting is simple, and it's easily the fastest non-racing motorcycle we have ever laid our hands on. With one engine running backwards, it's also one of the most esoteric. Story starts on page 44, "The Scourge of Motown, USA - Entirely Two Much - Bob Leppan dreams the implausible dream and comes up a winner."

Contents: Road tests: Honda CB450-K1 Super Sport, Ossa 230 Wildfire Street Scrambler; Cover Feature: The Scourge of Motown, USA - Entirely Two Much - Bob Leppan dreams the implausible dream and comes up a winner; Technical: Fast Son of Avenger - Kawasaki A7SS, warmed up; You Want to ride the Drome? - Speedy Babbs Tells How; Competition: The Portland Mile; Indianapolis 110-Mile National Roadrace; more

1947 Book of the Triumph Motorcycle published by Floyd Clymer

A complete guide for owners and prospective purchasers of Triumph Motor-Cycles and Sidecars.

Forward: By special arrangement with the original publishers of this book, Sir Isaac Pitman & Son, Ltd., of London, England, we have secured the exclusive publishing rights for this book, as well as all others in The Motorcyclist's Library... Floyd Clymer, 1947

Many important developments have taken place in motorcycle design and construction since the fourth edition of "The Book of the Triumph" was published. Triumph motor-cycles have always been in the van and during the past two years numerous alterations have been made. All alterations have been to the advantage of the rider, and it can be confidently stated that there are no machines more reliable, efficient, comfortable, safe, and economical than the 1939 models. The reliability of the Triumph motor-cycle has always been a household word among the host of enthusiastic riders; so it is not surprising that a very large number of earlier models are still giving faithful service. Details regarding design, construction, maintenance, and adjustment given in the following pages refer, in the main, to 1935-1939 models inclusive, but owners of previous models will find that much of the advice given applies equally to their mounts. It is hoped that the present edition will meet with as favourable a reception as did the original work and the second, third, and fourth edition, and that it will enable riders to obtain not only the best results from their machines, but increase their pleasure on the road owing to trouble-free running.

Contents: Starting-Up and Riding Hints; The Theory of the Internal Combustion Engine; Lighting and Electrical Fittings; Care of the Machine; Overhauling; War-Time Regulations; Index

1972 Triumph Bonneville 650 - the hot one

A quarter of a million bikes ago, the basic Bonneville engine started winning races. It still is. When our first famous vertical twin began winning, Gene Romero hadn't even been born. Yet last year Gene wore the AMA's Number 1 plate because that same basic engine - Triumph's dual-carb, 4-stroke OHV Bonneville - helped him thunder to his Grand National Championship...
