Love that last one - I can smell the "R"!!!

Possibly one reason for the existence of Tritons - Norton refused to sell just motors to John Cooper (and others) so they bought complete bikes and sold the rolling chassis on. Since the Featherbed handled better than the original Triumph framed bikes, it was a popular conversion!

I always wondered what the reason was ,thanks

They certainly had an "interesting" smell to them, someone I know wanted to bottle it as aftershave

Interesting history on the Tritons did always wonder how that combo came about.

If my bikes didn't have catalytic converters, I'd be tempted to add a few drops of R to every tankful but it does what toms do to queens - it f***s cats!!!
