Regulars Rides: Emily's Triumph Tiger Cub Trials bike
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This Regulars Rides episode comes from Emily.
She's been riding trials from the age of 11 on modern bikes but when her dad came home one day with a Matchless, her head was turned to classics.
Not wanting to be left out, she got herself a Triumph Tiger Cub restoration project and has been riding it in her classic trials clubs since.
She also enters it into all the Malle races she can attend, including the first ever Malle Trials at bike shed festival 3 weeks ago.
Got an interesting custom bike and a cool story to boot?

Raced a cub in local scrambles, south Florida back in ‘60’s…loved this bike.
Your dad must be very proud to have a daughter like you!
And she actually rides the hell out of it, I dig it, it’s not just a bar hopper
My brother and I each had new Tiger Cubs, back in the day, in Southern California. Mine was a 1958. Just a regular street model. Great fun. I would remove the muffler, hide it in the bushes and go off road riding with mine. Wish I had another one.
Lovely, was my first bike when I was 17, I'm now 66 and still ride, I wish I had another Tiger Cub
my favorite bike of all time!
this one is beautiful! and it takes a thrashing! bloody brilliant!
Beautiful old bike it's great to see these old stump crawlers still being ridden thanks for sharing.
Love the simplicity... reminds me of my first bike, a Bantam 175, which I rode off road.
She is an amazing spirit. Lovely bike lovely lady. VINTAGE!
Even at 200 ccs, the Tiger Cub always sounded like a 'real' motorbike. This trials version is a beautiful example. Huge props.
I cant believe it , this was my dream bike when I was a teenager over 40 years ago , only ever seen pictures of one as a 15 year old and its nicer than I envisaged , beautiful bike isn't it :) ( i'd completely forgot about it until this popped up on my feed ) , and bultaco , that's a name I haven't heard since the 70's or 80's
Really cool to see you keeping the old stuff alive. Brilliant.
I used to trial one of these a long while back, great little bike.
Nice bike! Always wanted one of those back in the 60s. Thanks and good luck in the pre 65 Trails. Les
That's the coolest bike I've seen in a long time. Well done.
These and the little Bantams were great little trials bikes in there day and even now it's a route into classic bikes that is affordable for the not so well paid working class For me the tiger cubs got a nicer sound but the weight loss of the 2 stroke Bantam did make them a tad more compliant
That is a charming little bike.
That is something you don't see every day. Very cool 👍😎
What a fantastic trials machine!
light, quiet, bruised and one kick. awesome!
What a great bike! I owned a '59 Greeves Scottish a long while back. And although it had a 2 stroke Villiers 250, it had a shed load of torque and was great to ride, with it's cantilever front forks.
Love the bike.❤ Well done.
Keeping the old bikes alive, Love it!

Awesome this bike and rider are absolutely legit and keeping vintage bikes alive. she Loves it, rides the wheels off it, races it, works on it and not just using it for latte runs on sunday morning. Love it one of the best videos so far, cheers BSMC
Oh man! What a beauty! Congrats Emily :-)
What a Bike! Thanks for sharing 👍
What a sweet little bike & still used for it's intended purpose.
Nice fun trials bike. She clearly enjoys it.
As kids we loved this, even spent time with Malcomb Smith, wonder trials rider (I couldn't believe how excited my ex was when she saw Malcomb! Haha Tim enjoy your bike, be Safe!
What a beautiful old Triumph. It is great to see it still running strong.
Awesome looking Bike, bet it's great fun as well.
Yes! Not actually fully original, but totally authentic. And any gal who can lift her bike up with one hand like that can buy me a pint any day. Well done. Awesome bike. Great sound. Well risen. Very impressed. Ride safe.
Looks like a blast to ride!
Good video Emily, Great bike
You are a inspiration !
Very nice. I haven't seen a cub for years.
I loved trials way back my first was a Yamaha TY250A then a few after that, loved the sport, had a mint TL 250 Honda which had never been trialled, a couple of RL Suzukis came and went, then the Honda got swapped for a 380 SWM one of only two in New Zealand, then my last was a great clubman bike Ital jet again the only one brought to NZ great video, I did ride a Sammy Miller replica like GOV 132 in one trial now that was so different. I have never ridden the later bikes like the mono shock Yammahas or any of the strage named machines we see today to be honest the lightest two bikes I rode belonging to friends was a TY175 Yamaha and a Honda TL 125 both were amazing light weight bikes compared to what I had ridden
In my late teens I bought a 1964 trial cub in pretty poor condition. Spent a year in me ma's shed renovating it, even in freezing cold weather. Replaced most of the bearings, got a re-bore and oversized piston, new big / small ends etc After about 2k miles it threw a pushrod and was off the road for a while. Another semi-engine build and 3k miles later had a barrel / piston seizure!!! So yet another engine semi-strip down. I was back in college and riding my crappy Honda CG125 throughout that year. I then moved into a flat and went to Uni. The Honda just wore itself out whilst the Cub sat in the shed going rusty. I ended up selling it as a project and engine in basket for £75 which I still regret. Literally everywhere I went on that bike people would stop me and ask me about it. After a party one night and a few too many Vodkas the police took more interest in the bike than in my rather odd behaviour and told me to get home before it went dark!!! At times I felt like I was riding from the past into the future. Funny how a machine can have a real character. Often wondered what it would be worth now, or even where it is? I can't even remember the number plate!
Fantastic. I love it. I need one haha. Thank's
What a beautiful bike. Always wanted a Cub. Either trials or “C” model for trails. Just can’t find em here in the USA.
So now you done it! You have re-ignited me restoring my 1969 Triumph TR25w. Wiring problems, but complete.

Niiiiiice. Love the Tiger CUB sticker! I believe Joey Dunlop's first racer was a Cub? Don't think it was a Trials, 'though! Proper bike doing what it should.
So badass!
I am in love, and the bike is cool also
Awesome 👍
Lots of Cubs in AHRMA Trials in the ‘90s when I was active.
Very cool bike and girl.
I’ve always had a hardon for triumph, beautiful bike.

This is very cool.
Nice bike. Good lass.
Cubs were always nice.
I had a '58 with the bikini rear enclosures. I blew around six big ends (I was seventeen!) during my ownership, sheared the crank pin flush to the flywheel half one time, still ran! Most memorable was big end failure in France, a long way from home !
Excellent bike Mam
It looks more like a 100cc, quite impressive.
My second trials bike after a two fifty Greeves back in the early sixties , better suspension but the engine was short of both power and torque, forever changing cams dependent on types of trial.
A friend of mine bought one in a basket for $15.00 in 1968. His parents wouldn't let him have a bike so he brought it to my house and we worked on it in my basement. That summer I went to California to study Art, and live with my Unkle. I got a call from him long distance....he had got it running, he put the receiver down to the exhaust, and gave it a whack. Pure music!
Lovely bike, I too have a 67 mountain cub and a 1960 T20S scrambler, good to see a youngster riding a cub and I might add kicking the bike over with boots on, not running shoes!
Kick ass.
that's a lovely bike
Tidy little bike, timeless 👌
Love it
At Tulsa Triumph we had dibs on TRIALS tires. Take offs from England. Just 2 layers! Wad em up, stick em in a pocket.ran them half flat.!😎😁🎶
What a pretty bike. I had an ajs 350 trials back in the 70's. Was just a cheap old bike in those days but soooo much character. Never took it off road.... A bit heavy... This is unit construction, engine and gearbox in one shell? My old bsa 350 had separate gearbox. That extra chain and slippage was a pain...

From what I know the Cub was one of Triumphs first unit bikes? 1955/1956? Could be wrong.
Class
i would love to go enduro with that baby 😭
I’m in love, I want one
Cool bike
Think I have a crush on the British girl and her bike!
Groovy machine...
This is my dream bike
Nice
sharp bike and even sharper young lady >
What year Cub is that based on? I've always thought the Tiger Cub had one of the most esthetically pleasing engines ever - they were quite popular in the late "50s when I first started riding. So many mods were in vogue to enhance their performance and especially their reliability.
Excellent modified, where have you replaced the oil tank and where have you divert the oil circulation?
🤘 “.. bits -n - a box...”
I beg to differ, the gearlever is on the correct side....

Brilliant ! Does anyone know about teh swing-arm adjusters ??

Std snail cam adjusters for trials bikes. Sammy Miller parts bought out by Feked Parts will sell them. As will In Motion trials parts prolly. Stock irem on trials bikes.
On our OSSAS ,BULTACOS, ANY. BIKE DEEMED WORTHY that we had.👍😎🎼
that reminds me of my silver 72 Yamaha 360 RT2 that's what I call bike love it how come we cant go and buy a new version of this today in 2019 there is a market out there.
Great bike, the gearing is on the proper side if you were brought up with British bikes lol.

I had a cub many years ago, cost me 10 shillings, never ran properly and never discovered why!
