The tank is a repro of a one year only '49 3T.


He's looking for offers around 7 grand, all taxed, ticketted and ride away goodness.

Triumph Twingle




Mossy pointed these out, on the Bay in the States. 
E1485 cam blanks ground to fire both cylinders at the same time. Herad the term Twingle bandied about over the years but this is the first tangible bit I've seen.

880 JAP 1000cc Speedway Sidecar

Thunder From Down Under






Sidecar Speedway

Can't pretend to know anything about it myself! Mossy sent these pics over from The Great Southern Land, taken by his pal John Davey at a Vintage Speedway event I guess.
A quick search on Google revealed that these 180 bhp, methanol burning, brakeless monsters are still competing in a few countries around the world but predominantly in Oz.

There are, I'm sure, a lot out there who find it sacrilegious to do this to a Vincent but here at BIW we reckon it's what they were made for!
