| Wow, beautiful bike. When I was 17 one of my first ever "real" motorcycles was a 1960's Triumph 500, with high fenders and upswept straight pipes! We used to ride it in our local garbage dump in Rainier Valley, its now become a park! Would be great to know a bit more about its history, and any old pics of it in action years ago? | |

| My Father in Law built it brand new in 68, its only been a dualsport/trail bike. Sure is strange having the shifter on the right and brake on the left. Great sounding bike. | |

| I have been meaning to respond to your Cheney Triumph posting. I am always interested in anything to do with old Triumphs. I scrambled, tt raced, and flat tracked a TR-6 in the early 1960s. Lots and lots of good memories. (Quite a few trophys too, I might add). I would send you a couple of pics that were taken back then but I am unable to figure out the instructions for attaching photos. Maybe I am too old for this high tech stuff.
