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?

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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...

    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.
