[Edbear]

Everything is relative I guess

At least in theory...

I wonder where the bike is today? Interesting to think that that would've been an impressive bike for its day, maybe the 'CBR600RR' of it's time.

earlier models perhaps?

i knew someone would know what it is! was thinking, if no one here knows, ill post it overseas and see what they say.

must admit, im surprised its a trumpy!! but then, the ones from 80-odd years ago never look the same as they do now.

Crashe had in the bag the emblem on the tank is definately the original Triumph logo which was used upto the early 30s. The 'trusty triumph' was the sv engine then became the 'Ricardo' ohv 4v. But the trusty triumph was basically the race replica of the day from successes racing in TT races.

The only disturbing thing though is Triumph (the great english marque) was founded by 2 Germans; Seigfried Bettmann & Maurice Schulte

Incidentally, anyone notice the weight? 55kg.

Buwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....wait a second.....buwahahahahahaha!

You are frigging kidding right?? The great Triumph that represents Britains great placing in the motorcycle world has German heritage? Buy with British pride? Sure, they're British now as much as anything, but the company was founded by two Germans. I can understand why I've never heard that before!!
