As a follow up to my posting  a picture of T100R in one of my "I really like this!" post, here is a nice replica up for sale on Wayne's triumph motorcycle blog of a GP bike based on a 1949 frame and gearbox.Loads more info on this bike and others on what looks to be an interesting blog.

                      

                   
                       

lightning timing gears the Dwain Taylor way- Update

                                
                                 
Just been trawling the web looking to see if I could get a copy of Dwain Taylor's Tuning the Triumph 650 book.I have a PDF of the book but I'm a bit old fashioned and like having the real thing to leaf through. So far no luck.I couldn't even find the PDF anywhere just one blog with a broken link.
I've also noted that my previous post with the pictures of lightened timing gears is possibly the most viewed.
So in the spirit of Dwain Taylor's intro to the booklet and I quote:
 " the information in this book is free, although we have no way of knowing how much it as cost through trial and error to learn what will work to advantage and what will not"
 If anyone is interested drop me a line and I will share the PDF.
should this infringe any copyright please let me know, but also note that I'm not doing it for profit in any way. Just sharing something I previously found

Hen's teeth

1939 T100 bronze cylinder head

this came and went  for a tidy £3230 on the bay. Rare as the proverbial hen's teeth WWII cut production short to 300 examples.
The only others I've seen are at the National motorcycle museum and on T100 that was at the Ace,having been ridden there earlier this year

I REALLY LIKE THIS!

Bike envy, not pretty -but this one is!!

1955 T100R- arguably Triumph at it's very best

LONGSUE

Long awaited parcel finally made it to my door and was unwrapped in double quick time.

Couldn't resist putting it together with the front loop.

Once again thank you to Joe at Chopped Triumphs for helping to make it all happen.

Posted by Mojomick on the JJ. Thanks for letting me repost some of his pics from the Ramsey Sprint.
An 1/8th mile sprint on the sea front on the Isle of Man.
Two 750's built and run by Simon Rees, one blown and one not.Both very nice to look at.

Once again extra information is provided by Keith Lee
It took a little while to catch up with Simon Rees to answer your questions.
So far the blown 750 Triumph number 136 has run 11.5s on methanol as he still gets used to running it. Simon is looking to beef the gearbox up to allow better starts, which will improve times.
The answer regarding the long tube used on his unblown 750 Triumph, is that it is a forced air cooler into the clutch area. Simon has a belt drive under the cover and wanted to help keep the temperature down.
A washing machine tube is used - and Simon reckons it runs on the sprint cycle! (Blame him, not me, for that one)
Interestingly, best times for both bikes currently are within about a couple of hundredths of a second.
