From Eric
I have owned the bike for 14 years and we attend all the clubs shows. As it does not have an original exhaust system we never expect to win, but always enjoy the days. Roll on the real thing.

I bought this bike when I was 17 it was in bits over the years I have restored it. Because the Triumph factory that it was built in was bombed in approximately 1942 I found it very hard to get any information on it . I managed to find a classic bike magazine that had an issue of the 1937 Earl’s Court motorcycle show and on display was my bike, price to buy when new was £62.10s on the road. I have owned it for 53 years and absolute love it. It also runs.

From Peter.
Since my brother Roger Benge former member of your club passed away this is my first restoration project. My first bike at the age of 16 was a tiger cub and rebuilt by roger. I think he would be pleased with my efforts.

From Mike.
I have owned this bike since 2007. This is a 1970 uk version of the T120 and the last year with an external oil tank. Recently it has undergone a substantial overhaul from the crankshaft up which has been reground and balanced and attention given to many details during the rebuild. It was originally points ignition but a Pazon Altair electonic ignition has been fitted.
Greg’s Bike. This won the Best Triumph in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering.
From Greg.
This Tiger Cub has been in our family for years and has been owned by both my brothers Richard and Chas. It’s a great bike and we have all enjoyed riding it . A few years ago Richard suggested that we should restore the Cub back to original specification. After a number of years and also restoring Richards Thruxton in between, the Cub is now finished. I got it running a few weeks ago and was desperate to get it to the bike shows . You rarely see many Cubs at shows . Hope you like it cheers Greg.

From Ron.
Complete rebuild in the US, from a basket case, over the last 3 years. I had a lot of help from Jaye Strait at Britech New England. Jaye rebuilt the engine, I did most of the other restoration, down to powder coating the frame. Matching frame and engine. Not quite original, for example, electronic ignition. And the tank needs a little more work – I thought the rattle can paint was petrol proof – it wasn’t.

From Simon.
One of only 7 such bikes manufactured in 1966 for the 500 mile race. Ridden to victory by Dave Degens and Rex Butcher.
Bill’s bike. An entry in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering.
From Bill.
The Bike was originally shipped to Sri Lanka supposedly as a demo bike and was then eventually acquired by a Massey Ferguson Rep based in Singapore. It then followed him around the globe before ending up back in the UK some 5 years ago when it had a full engine overhaul.
Unfortunately the overhaul wasn’t the best to say the least but I know have it running as it should do and it does great service on Berkshire VMCC runs.
