I had the high pipe t100c, 1970 with the Jacaranda and silver paint. Rode it, restored it and rode it for many more years. Man I miss it! That's a very nice machine. 👍
Hey Ken. I just gotta say, if I was offered the best Harley Davidson in the world or that little Daytona as a gift, no brainer, I’d take the Triumph. What a sound. I like HD’s but that T100 is really special. Thanks for sharing. God bless
Lovely Bike! The Daytona had more radical "Q" cams that allowed the bike to come alive at 4,500 rpm and scream all the way to 7,500 - the close ratio trans and the light weight made this a JOY on canyon roads - I bought a 1972 T100R in Feb of '73 - BEST $1,100 I ever spent
Great looking and sounding Daytona. Love all of these classic bikes and I'm not even that old yet lol They will never really replicate classic motorcycles with modern retro bikes, which are very cool but not even close to originals for me.
My father use to park his 67 triumph trophy in our living room before we had the garage built.i remember the sound and the front wheel shaking away on the double stand.i just bought a 1968 triumph bonneville myself pick it up this weekend looking forward to putting some miles on it while the Harley Dyna 120r is parked right next to the bonneville
I remember going to the dealer with my brother who bought that 1969 Triumph but it was a Tiger so it had that single carb. That bike was just so beautiful back then. My brother was 16 years old and i 11 years young 😂 Wow, those days are gone. He rode it for 2 years and traded it for a brand new 1971 Honda CB 450 so he could have dual carbs 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 the biggest mistake ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great bike 72/73 was the last year of BSA and their ownership of Triumph before Dennis Poor bought out all of BSA's assets, Meriden built and sold just under 30,000 bikes, yet demand was twice that many. Problems with part supply and industrial action at Meriden meant a shortage of supply. Later in 73 Dennis Poor decided to close Meriden and transfer all Triumph production to the former BSA factory at Smallheath Birmingham. The workers at Meriden locked themselves in the factory in a dispute that would eventually lead to the workers cooperative on the one ham but the destruction of Triumphs American dealership on the other, so when production finally resumed their was too few dealers left to sell the bikes.
Actually you only see the fun stuff, you have no idea, i drove 4,300 miles in 8 days, averaging 537 miles a day. I got home monday we shot 23 bike videos Monday in 10 hours, I uploaded them all with titles and thumbnails on UA-cam and some to Instagram on tuesday, 676 emails to go through, took the garbage out, and have been writing adds for 22 bikes on eBay, started writing at 730 Am this morning, 23 pages, 12 hours and 2817 words later I still have 5 bikes to list. It never ends. But I love it. Most of it.

Love my Daytona! The most underrated of all the classic Triumphs.

Love my Triumph's , have since age 16
Nice always like Triumph, BSA
The choppers looked and sounded good too
Beautiful motorcycle I love the vintage stuff, especially the British twins. I'll be watching the auction on this one.
Looks and sounds mint. Ez to understand popularity. Great job narrating . 👍 one Lucky owner.
Nothing better than these Triumph 500s. I'm biased though
In my opinion Triumph make the most beautiful motorcycles. Classic and performance 😎👍👍👍
Beautiful looking and sounding Triumph.
The previous owner did a good job putting the bike back together.
Lovely bike sounds great,shame it's not in England,iwould be trying to buy it .👍

The gear lever is on the wrong side of the bike. I had a Triumph 650 Bonny 71 and it was difficult to get used to it. I don't know why they did that.
💥 How Can You Not Love This💥
Sharp bike. My uncle used to have a Triumph.
Breathtaking...the new owner will certainly have a dilemma whether to ride or preserve🏆
No mistaking the tick over of a British bike. If it isn't ticking it isn't kicking.
really close to my blue/white '72 T100R
(I sent you a pic & the KLR)
My first bike, wish I still had it....
For sale??
How much $
Sorry Ken that u had to come back from road trip and do all this work . 😂
