Featured A Fine Pair..

Can the article be replicated on this forum? It sounds a fascinating read.

I have rode bikes for many years, but it was not until I bought my first Triumph that I became a real enthusiast. Before that, it was just cheap transportation. These bikes show the great heritage and experience Triumph has acquired over the years. Thanks Simon for posting. ...J.D.

On the right is Triumph’s first parallel twin, the Valentine Page designed 6/1 and on the left the Edward Turner 5T. I rode the 6/1 first and was surprised at how nice it was for a design from so long ago. But it was blown out of the water by the Turner bike! It’s easy to see how the 5T stood the motorcycling world on it’s ear on it’s release. Smooth, responsive, peppy an absolute delight. Allowances have to be made for brakes and stuff, but for a pre war design (and sold at an affordable price) it’s a work of genius.

Just a few days ago I was going through some oldish Classic MotorCycle mags and in one of them there’s an article about the 350cc Triumph that Edward Turner designed whilst retired.
