I had one in 1964. I bought it for £42 in Keighley. The front sprocket had no teeth !
I had it on the top of Otley chevin doing 55mph when the engine bearer snapped - so I held the engine in place with my left leg until I got home. The alternator needed re- timing every 10 miles. Piece of junk really but its history !
In 2008 ago my hubby gave me my first bike ever - A triumph daytona 675 as a wedding gift. This year for my birthday he gave me his first bike ever - the Triumph toger cub 1964. we are goign to restore it over the winter so I can learn about the engine. The bike had been in storage and not run for 5 years - a bit of fuel and it started ont eh second try - I cant wait to ride it as I love the vintage bikes - it just looks fun!
I had one in 1960, am still in love with the sound can I buy one that is totally redone , that looks and works like new? if so, could you help me to find one?
I had the same Cub from 1971 tot 1973. He was painted orange and black. But I had often problems with the oil pump. After a few km the engine overheated, but ten minutes later I could restart. Nice low bike and fantastic sound, but poor quality.
was in bits more than it was together.I can remember the "Timing Chain" was a utter bastard to set right,then the chronic vibration would put it out again,it was a £never ending story".
Like I said though the eight to ten hours it was in time were truly a magical thrash,eat your heart out XT/DT 250s.The Cub would fucking TAN you anyday.
That's the 1961 Tiger Cub. The 1960 had an all-silver tank and a plain black seat. I did my 1960 Cub up to look like the '61. The speedo was wildly inaccurate - showing 75mph when it was actually doing 65.... First thing you did with one of these was to remove the mute from the tail pipe.
ace! i have a 1960 tiger cub trials, in the process of doing it up...it was in a garage not running for 10+ years got her going in 5 mins...credit to british engineering, plus i can reach the floor:)

They had a nice sound like a sort of crackle. But i prefer the smaller handle bars. The original size.

I used to have the Trials bike version,a lovely
little machine when it was running right.Alas it
was in bits more than it was together.I can remember the "Timing Chain" was a utter bastard to set right,then the chronic vibration would put it out again,it was a £never ending story".
