1965 Triumph T120C TT Special

Wayne from Rutherford College, North Carolina, United States, made available these photos of this very cool 1965 Triumph T120C TT Special flat tracker motorcycle that he sold off just a few weeks ago.

Wayne's story: "1965 Triumph TT Special. I originally purchased this bike in 1983 and rebuilt the top end and then parked in in 1985. I then sold the motorbike after it had sat for six years, but the buyer did not ride the bike. After he passed away I purchased it from his wife this year.

When I got her back, the side covers had been removed and the head was removed, but the motor turned over smoothly by hand. This bike has a 12 volt system with a Mighty Max, but when I got it back all the electrical had been removed. A few parts were missing such as some bolts, auto advance plate, clutch basket cover, points cover and all cables.

This Triumph TT motorcycle has a Betor front end and an unknown origin front wheel. When I rode this bike it was strong and my opinion is that with some carb work and re-assembly this bike should run well, however that's only my opinion."
