Triumph Bonneville – 1968

Entry to our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering

From Andy

My Triumph Tiger 650 was originally exported from Meriden to Iceland on 28th May 1968.

There were a huge number of American troops at the Air Base in Reykjavík at that time. They bought bikes from the local distributor at a better price than in the US, and shipped them back home, my bike found its way to the US.

It stayed there, being repatriated in August 2000.

I have enjoyed my Triumph since that time.

Standard American spec. I have fitted Boyer Bransden elect ign, and Podtronics regulator.
