Triumph Trophy description
Engine & Frame Number: TR6C PC05354
Produced from 1956 to 1973, the TR6 Trophy was one of the most successful models in the Triumph range, particularly in the US. The highly successful competition variant, the ?C’, popularly known as the "desert sled", sporting the distinctive high pipes, secured the model’s success by winning many competitions throughout the late 1950s and 1960s. It was built at the request of Triumph's sole US distributor at the time, Johnson Motors in southern California, as a way to target the growing number of desert riders. Steve McQueen’s fondness for the model is well documented.
For 1967 the TR6 received some engine changes: compression was raised to 9:1, and Bonneville exhaust valve and camshaft were adopted, resulting in a 5bhp increase. And the TR6C got twin high pipes on the left side, and folding footpegs. The twin leading shoe brake was adopted in 1968.
This great riding, and very original example from November 1968 production, is very presentable indeed. The engine starts easily and has good power. The gearbox shifts easily through a good clutch. Brakes work well, as does suspension with Hagon shocks to the rear. The Harley tail pipes are loud and raspy. Cosmetically, the bike is in very good condition, with usual wear and tear - not in concours condition, but presents well. The European tank is an interesting departure from the norm. Chrome is good, but with blemishes on the headlight bucket, as pictured. The bike is offered with a clean, clear California title.

Motorcycle.com Adds a New Editor
Mon, 05 Nov 2012While some moto publications are cutting back and constricting, Motorcycle.com is proud to announce the addition of a new editor to our masthead. MO readers, meet Jon Langston, our new Associate Editor. I knew Langston was a cool cat when I first met him at the Harley-Davidson Blackline unveiling in January 2011.
Buddy Holly, Ariel Cyclone, 1958
Thu, 19 Apr 2012Above is some fantastic home movie footage of Buddy Holly and the Crickets messing around on motorbikes in 1958. The story behind the bikes in the video starts after Buddy Holly, Joe Mauldin and Jerry Allison came back from a successful tour in 1958, flush with cash. The trio decided to spend their rock and roll dollars on brand new motorcycles.
First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support
Tue, 02 Nov 2010I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.
