As Seen On TV: Fonzie’s 1949 Triumph Trophy 500 for Sale

Tea with Hot Sauce: 1967 Triumph Bonneville with Tracy Bodywork
While this Triumph Bonneville with Tracy bodywork is really more dirt-track than actual sportbike, but it’s cool and rare enough I thought it was worth a post. During the wild-and-woolly 1960s and 1970s, body...
Working Class Hero: 1958 Triton for Sale
One of my favorite things about motorcycles is the seeming endless ways there are to mix and match parts to create new machines. Chain drive and fairly simple frames mean that it’s no big...
More Patina Than You Can Handle: 1973 Triumph Hurricane X75
I’ve gotten into the habit of occasionally posting these Triumph X75 Hurricanes, although they’re actually proto-choppers more than they are actual sportbikes. But I think they’re pretty cool, and since they’re powered by the...

Sorry for the lack of posts everyone: I’m travelling right now, and it’s been making regular updates difficult. Bear with me and we should be back on track soon! Today’s bike is a pretty...
Rare Mongrel: 1953 Rickman Metisse Triumph/BSA Mark III
The famous, sophisticated-sounding Metisse actually translates to “mongrel” in French, a testament to British humor, as well as ingenuity. This bike is different than our usual offerings: built for offroad use, it is powered...
Vintage Rider: 1964 Triton for Sale
It’s interesting that a bastardized hybrid like the Triton could become such an iconic classic motorcycle. It’s an anecdotal observation, but it seems that engine swaps are more acceptable among the motorcycling fraternity than...
Steve McQueen Tribute: 1964 Triumph TR6C Trophy for Sale
I don’t often write up Triumphs like this TR6C Trophy because, although they’re the very embodiment of vintage motorcycles, they’re also pretty easy to find: Triumph made a boatload of them, and fans have...
