plantfit 7,535 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Parked next to my vintage cycle display last year at Hubberts Bridge vintage day, Raleigh Roma, not too many of these about now, I think Raleigh only did a short run of these scooters, most of them were Italian built and badged as Raleigh Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 822 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 That is a rare thing not seen one since 60s! As it shaft driven? I have a sick chain driven bike in garage. Needs a ML CK1 magneto anyone got one on a shelf? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,535 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Not shaft drive, fully enclosed chain, bit of info on here, you might have to expand it a bit to read it though, quite an interesting read Sorry can't help with you magneto, just took my RS1 off my Lister engine to keep in the shed till winters over, got to keep the damp out it's just had a new (well rewound) coil so need to look after it Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think I was talking to the owner and admiring that Triumph at my local last week. Did it have old style number plates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,535 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Standard yellow number plate Phil saw it again today, it's a Triumph Hurricane, I think mainly for the American market with all the flash and raked front forks Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Just a coincidence then Rog. There can’t be many of them about. I was most impressed. I’ve seen it twice locally. Ridden by an elderly chap. Noisy bugger though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
