From John

This is an ex Royal Signals display team bike.

The bike has gone back home to North Yorks!

The buyer brought his grandad to view the bike, who rode with the display team and was responsible for selling off the bikes originally. He sold the bikes for the Army £100 each.

From Mark.

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.

Triumph Bonneville T120 1970

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.
