Italian Guzzisti

[G.POLEGATO]

Ragazzi,incredibile,non so se ve ne siete accorti ma credo che sia la prima volta che ci sono quattro italiani online. Certo che meravigliarsi di una cosa che dovrebbe essere usuale...... Portiamo avanti la passione. Tenni #60

There were four people from Yorkshire online several times last month, but we Tykes didn't boast about it!

 

There have never been four French members at once who could tear themselves away from dinner, or a woman.

I reply to myself :-)

Giovanni, Yesterday I went to my Guzzi dealer (motoguzzipavia.it) and he told me he never had a Tenni to sell. From what he remember, no one dealer of his "group" (when they meet for Guzzi training) saw one :-(

Sure! Will somebody complain if we talk about trumpets here? :-)

 

Mine is from 1960. First registered in the UK like "Triton" (the registar official must be a biker!) in 1960 with a Dominator Slimline and T6 engine, amc Norton gbox, then "dresded" by Dave and using some nice bits of the era (tommaselli clip-ons, Tickle drum plate and top joke..). It was raced for a few years, but probably it missed some of the original special bits.. long story.

They'd better not!

 

I love the "pared-down" look of your Triton: from its racing days, I would guess. Did you race it? Do you know Dave Degens well? Quite a lot of Tritons are registered "Tritons" in the UK. Mine is registered in France, now, as a Norton, but I brought it with me from England, where it was rebuilt by a Norton specialist who is a good friend of mine, in 2000. It was originally a 1960 slimline Dominator, but has been a Triton since 1966, though not with its present engine.

 

The engine is a modified 6T [one-piece crank, T110 head, high comp pistons, E3134 cams, etc] and the box is AMC with needle-roller bearings and close-ratio gears by RGM. The front brake is a Triumph TLS at the moment, but I have a Grimeca 4LS in an alloy rim to match the rear, ready to go in. I'm waiting to find some Atlas yokes so I don't have to take metal off the drum or the forks to fit it. I don't suppose you have any spare to sell......?

 

Tanks and rear hub are original Dunstall; other bits came from Unity Equipe, or from what was available in my stock and my friend's.

 

As you can see, I'm running a straight handlebar on it for this year: my back is bad at the moment, and I can't ride it with clip-ons!

 

Cheers!
