Thread: My Dads Racer from the '60's

Here is one of the first bikes I remember my Dad racing when I was little a real rare Cheney Triumph, I have searched high and low to find another, found one in Europe for $18000!

Thats crazy, what year is it? Kinda looks like a royal enfield trials. sooooo coool, I love the chrome tank.

I bet it goes....

I'm not sure of the year,The tank is alloy,and everything else is Nickell plated. That bike ran the ISDT in Europe right before he bought it

Don't you wish you still had it ? Check out the old trucks.I remember seeing a bike similar to that one but only in a mag or movie.Awesome pic.

Was it 2, or 4 stroke?
