Wales made it to the world cup, the first time since 1958 (the year I was born) with a 1 nil win over the Ukraine who actually played better than us for a lot of the game but hey ho someone had to win, I’m just glad it was WALES!!!
New Toys (Damn I Spoil Myself).
Been a While or a Bloody LONG Time – take your pick!
Decided to sell the matching numbers Tiger or Daytona or whatever the hell you want to call it, I call it the T100SR. The bike is as rare as rockin’ horse shit, feel free to Google search 1966 Triumph T100SR and see for yourself, there’s a few around but are mostly in bits and missing a lot and or not matching mumbers or need a lot of money spent on them to bring them up to the same specs as this one.
This one has had a rebuilt motor (sludge trap done) with new clutch hub (easier than trying to dismantle the hub to get the cush rubbers out), new wiring harness, 6V coils, Wassell electronic ignition, repainted with eye matched paint from the rear guard under the seat which is hidden from the weather, head pipes replaced, new rear shocks and front gaiters, replaced seat cover, white grips – the only year to come out with them, yada yada.
When it was done Dunlop K70’s weren’t available so I went with Metzeler Klassik’s but I’ve ordered a set of K70’s now so they should be fitted soon so if any one wants a pair of Metzeler’s with 4 miles on ’em lemme know. The clocks are Emgo’s because when I got the bike the speedo glass was cracked and the tacho didn’t work, which turned out to be the thimble hence the engine rebuild – I still have the original’s. Essentially it has been sympathetically restored, not a nut and bolt jobby, I wanted it to retain some patina to give it the appearance of a well maintained garage find.

Tidy Up
More Work On The Enfield
Got the seat back, exhaust is mocked up just need to tack it then pull it back off and weld it – oh and make tidier hangers.

Enfield Update
Decided to get stuck in to the Interceptor, the seat is away at the upholsterers being re-shaped and covered in black with a grey top, while I’m waiting for that I thought I might as well hack in to the exhaust so I bought some Hinkley Triumph T100 mufflers for 200 bux – grab the angle grinder and rock n roll!!
Royal Enfield Interceptor
Yes I bought a new toy that didn’t stay stock for very long, a 2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Scrapped the ‘Orange Crush’ paint and replaced it with a mix of Sherbourne Green and Voodoo Blue with Alaskan White with Black pinstripe, added taller bars, and replaced the Amal knock off grips for more comfy ones.
Might look at redoing the seat and replacing those bloody awful mufflers. Still have the T100SR, that’ll never be sold!

Gwladys the T100SR
This is Gwladys the 1966 Triumph T100SR.
Why call it Gwladys? When I first got it it needed a little work and I was talking to my Mam and asked her if she’d ever been for a ride on a bike as there are numerous pictures of her sitting on various bikes my brother or myself owned, her response was ‘no not unless they’ve got training wheels you won’t get me on one’. After a brief discussion she agreed to let me take her for a ride around the front and back garden when the trumpy was finished.
Mam passed away before I got it finished so in honour of her I called the bike “Gwladys.”
