A tale of three Triumphs

And a rotary. Then we could have endless discussions as to how many ccs
it really is.

I wish I could find a photo of Jim Challenger's three cylinder rotary
bmw special powered trike. Three airhead beemer pots mounted on a common
crankcase.

Fucknose what the firing interval was - 120,120,120 presumably ?

Spot the schoolboy howler. A true rotary would have been an awesome
sight!

And a triumph longitudinal triple, complete with bragging rights for
the biggest engine capacity.

 

Hmmmm - what was that?. The Ariel square four was a four stroke.
I think I am being whooshed.

 

Not that I have heard of, but several radials have been crammed into bikes.

 

Surely that's a 'radial' engine, not a rotary (Wankel)?

 

Bad form.

<googles>

Ah apparently not. Anyways, I meant a Wankel.

 

£4200.

If you look for the thread ' KTM for sale' you'll find a bit more
information.

 

I could see TOG being more interested in having an RG500 in his garage
than a 'squariel'.

Cor blimey. Not saying it's not worth it, but I just want another cheap
XT600E sort of thing.

Every day is a schoolday.
Nice - but waaaay beyond my budget.

 

I didn't really think it was the sort of thing you're looking for or
I'd have emailed you to let you know I was selling it.

The way the market is right now I don't think I'll sell it privately
but if a member of the inner circle is interested I'd probably be
willing to let them have it for whatever a dealer offered me plus a
crate of beer.

I'll certainly not be advertising it for a stupid price even if I'd
let a dealer have it for said amount of cash.

 

Gnome et Rhône. More sensitive than an outfit to throttle-induced direction
changes, and the ultimate cure for constipation. If the fear doesn't get
you, the ingested castor oil will...

 

CG125 Adventure.

 

And a fore-and-after boxer twin.

 

Konig. Two-stroke fore-and-aft boxer four. What's not to like?

 

Oh *yes*

....or their Bavarian imitators. I'm thinking of the Helios here, obviously.
