My first bike was this. But it was a retired police model, a TR6P. Wish I still had it. My mechanic at the time (mid-70's) , who worked on everything, I mean everything, always said it was the best bike Triumph ever made.
That's some bike, almost like one straight from the showroom, sounds lovely smooth and quiet.
Beautiful bike, what a lucky find.
My Triumph was a 1966 500cc twin, single carb. I didn't know if it had a name or what. When a couple of great mechanics got it running right, I let out the clutch and it almost went out from under me. Electrical system was something, when I bought it, it had lamp cord wire in it. It was quite a saga, owning that thing. When he fired it up, that sound was sure familiar, oh, boy.
There is something about the sound of a vertical twin with a 360 degree crank that sounds so good. My KTM 790 vertical twin has a 285 degree crank and it works really well but it sounds more like a sewing machine than a vertical twin to me. Great episode. Thanks
Great video about a lucky man who obtain such a nice Triumph!
Lovely. He is a brave man riding on the original tyres 😁
My 1982 Triumph Tiger Trail was an easy starter - press the plunger on the Amal 2-3 times, started first kick majority of times. Nice bright yellow paint and two high sided pipes with hot dog mufflers down the left side.
Mikes bike is all but identical to mine. I own a 1969 Triumph Tiger 650cc in green but without the indicators. Left Coventry Oct'69 and exported to Johnson motors California in Jan'70. Was then bought by a man in Roseburg Oregon where it stayed until export back to UK in 2017. My bike also starts first kick and sounds just as sweet as Mikes...Amazing!
This guy has some great bikes. If he gave the original owner what he paid for it in 1969, I'm guessing it couldn't have been more than 2 grand. What a deal. I love my 1964 TR6. Only having one carburetor to deal with is really nice.
I have said it before but I love that Mike kicks his bikes over off the stand astride the bike. As Mr Punch used to say “That’s the way to do it” 🇬🇧
I wish Mike had 20 more bikes, I love hearing him talk, I love his enthusiasm. You guys are right, it IS a full time job to keep these things going. At a certain point they start owning you.
He is not Mike the bike, he is Mike the bikes! 😁
For the love of motor bikes
Nice video Mike!
Enjoyed listening to Mike who owned the tiger for a couple of decades helps me live with the idea of keeping my T100 for alotvof years made at hinckley thankyou you both made my day discussing the merits of the tiger itvwas like listening to two friends telling me about a bike I've only seen on here
What a fantastic interview - my idea of a perfect machine.. original & unrestored. You can tell he has a great love for all his bikes; top man, thanks Mike. Seasons greetings to all...
What a beautiful Triumph! Sounds great! The original tires need to go IMHO. Bike needs fresh new tires for safety. Thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic find. Wow, a non-corroded almost new '69 Tiger. I think if Mike were to make one change on this beautiful Tiger it should be fitting new tires. I get the originality thing but it's more of a safety consideration. Real old original tires might look ok and actually be ok for low speed puttering around but they can be time delay bombs when you pick up the pace.
That's a garage find dream! such a beautiful looking and sounding Triumph, thanks for sharing 👍 🏴
