Here are the first pictures of the 1970 Triumph TR6C project. Back on the road again and ready for me to slowly blow it up for the 4th time ....

That is a nice looking bike Paul.

Those pipes are pretty cool.

Now back to being a prick.

Damn that looks nice Paul

That is a magnificent rebuild Paul and a real credit to you. Are the pipes and mufflers the original US spec? They certainly look it. Hope you still haven't got the horrendous "instant leak" oil pressure indicator - job to see in the photo. My only form of transport throughout my varsity years was a US Spec 1955 pre unit Tiger 100. Thanks for awakening the thrill and memories!

Addition: That steering damper knob brings back painful memories. Caught my balls on it when I went over the bars after hitting a car that did a u-turn right in front of me. Was walking like John Wayne for a week!

Hey Paul, that looks awesome. You've done a really great job, you must be stoked! I bet Vicky's glad you've finished too...
Definately keen for the, ahem, "coming out" ride!

[merv]

Beautiful. So you finally overcame the painting problem.

[BeakerRAT]

Looks great, the pipes rock. Got any before pics, so we can do a comparison of before / after the rebuild?

[Swoop]

WOW!!! Superb work. Looks magnificent and ready to win a competition by just sitting there!

Heh - here I am in class and browsing the forums as my students try and string together a paragraph. A nice oasis in this parched land was a sight for sore eyes! Nice work on the bike, it looks mint - does it run as well as it looks? Keep it up and keep posting updates on your project!

[Skunk]

Beautiful Paul.

I'll take 7 points off for the 2 bar toast rack,they never came out in those colours,that was a silly thing to do and will devalue the bike,and those aren't the original tyres....looks like the bike has never even been ridden! '' Why did I even waste my time looking at it,I hope to see an improvement on your next project.

Jealousy is a poor attempt at convieing my emotions....

Looked pretty much the same except it was green and tatty as I rode it hard so many years.

Pipes are factory as this is the 'C' version (Competition) but by 1970 this was a bit of a joke and no one really used these off road anymore. There are a lot of competition based detail differences though in these 'Street Scramblers' and they are quite rare.

Mine has had the living shite ridden out of it even before i got it from the USA. It has an earlier engine (now upgraded in most places) and the forks had been damaged and there were signs of heavy use on the frame rails.

I've fitted a 67 TR6R tank for now (3.5 gal) but the original slimline (2.5 gal) is getting the treatment now. It will be closer to a factory colour (spring gold) but it was never my intention to restore this as a show bike, it's for riding. The chrome is as it has been for the last 10 years and the rims are factory chrome (36 years).

I have resisted the temptation to fire her up because there are a bunch of little 'fettling' jobs to be done and the key to a good job is patience. It's always been a great bike to ride and once it's all bedded in it will be again. I love this bike, I'll never sell it, even when I can't ride, I'll park it in the lounge and look at it, no idea why but who cares....

Looks bloody good! Definitely a labour of luv. I'm jealous. Had a Bonnie a wee while ago that I was going to do up but couldn't justify the expense to the accountant (plus the ride wasn't as good as I remember from years ago). Gone soft in my old age unfortunately.
