1953 Triumph Tiger T100C 500cc

[@mr.powerliner5395]

That was my first motorbike. I bought it for 150 Dutch Guilders when I served in the army in 1966. Good memories.

[@colincoleman2536]

Excellent short video had a calming effect on me took me away to a more pleasant world filled with the sound of a four stroke purring away gently when life was so much more fun have to say that a lovely neighborhood you live in.

[@tadpoles10]

You called that one, those 'were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end' .. t

[@TheMightyGarage]

Many thanks Colin! Glad you liked the video and thanks a lot for your comment. Best wishes, Mike

My dad's bike from the 50s, really great to see and hear one

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thank you Lyndon. Glad you liked the video. That is a really cool bike. Best wishes, Mike

[@MothershipVideos]

The old trumpets sure look great and Dicks one is no exception. I love the way you use half a tank of gas before departure and avoid night riding with the Lucas "prince of darkness" electrics. Thanks for the post.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Haha, so true! He needed to fill up again after that massive ride 😁. Best wishes, Mike

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Lovely video, really enjoyed the nice shots of the bike at the end, can't beat that American sunshine!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Many thanks! I really appreciate it and I'm loving your videos. They are so enjoyable to watch. Best wishes, Mike

Damn - that's an incredible bike! Even the bolts and washers are spotless.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, I know! I had to rush home and clean mine 😉 Best wishes, Mike

Very nice vintage machine!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks a lot Tom for your comment. Best wishes, Mike

[@jamesanderson83]

I have one that looks just like that, same color with original seat and paint 10,000 miles on it. My uncle purchased it new. Still starts on first kick in summer, maybe three after winter storage.👍!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Very cool! Thanks James. I just love the original bikes. I bet it looks great with the original patina. Best wishes, Mike

[@autodidact537]

Will you ever return to do videos in your workshop again? While I enjoy the parade of wonderful vintage motorcycles displayed in the cul-de-sac I miss the workshop videos.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Yes, definitely. I'm feeling guilty for not spending more time in the garage and things have been crazy at work recently. But I'm definitely hoping to get back and work on the long list of projects! Cheers, Mike

[@TheDavey333]

Don’t you just love a twin! Nice sounding bike, thanks for the vid. Have a good week Mike 😀

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks, you too David! Hope all is well. Cheers, Mike

[@erwinballings9155]

So beautiful, you can put the bike in the showroom between the new bikes. Really top. 👌👍 thanks Mike for sharing. Grtz Erwin.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thank you very much Erwin! Best wishes, Mike

[@pikebobstar2033]

Beautiful bike in gorgeous urban setting. And I thought good ole blighty topped the world for greenery 👍

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, it does rain quite a lot in Oregon too, just like home! Best wishes, Mike

[@54macdog]

Another great series!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thank you! I'm trying to arrange a few more visits but it's becoming a little tricky with the lockdown. Best wishes, Mike

[@christidmas3995]

Video and music choice top pics Mike.Seems like he has clutch drag but lovely bike all the same.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks Chris. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Mike

[@charlesbridgeman440]

How many more fab bikes to come?

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hi Charles, I have a list of visits planned but unfortunately the recent directives have slowed things down. But hopefully I'll get out to visit a few friends in the next few weeks. Cheers, Mike

[@georgemartin5481]

Another great video Mike. Wearing shorts the kicker this time of year :-) Lovely Triumph & very impressive at its' age!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, it was recorded back in the summer George, but a very nice reminder of a great day seeing this amazing bike. Best wishes, Mike

[@charlesbridgeman440]

Looks and sounds sublime!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thank you Charles. Best wishes, Mike

[@melbinthomas1659]

Lovely motorcycle 👍 what does the C stands for in t100C, your t100 is having slightly raised handlebar than this right? Cheers!!!

[@andytheflyer]

Competition

[@Kevin-cy9cv]

Beautiful bike, I might be being a bit thick here, but what are the eyebolt looking things at the rear axle?

[@georgemartin5481]

Just a guess as I've never been around many bikes with a rear stand. To release the bike stand?

[@TheMightyGarage]

No problem Kevin. I'm pretty sure that he uses it for a couple of reasons for the eye-bolts. The first is for another rear bike stand that he has in his garage and he also he uses them to tie the bike down at the rear when he's taking it somewhere in his van. Cheers, Mike

[@Kevin-cy9cv]

@@TheMightyGarage Ah ha mystery solved, thanks

[@candymintz]

The Golden era of British motorcycles, now we're in the Platinum era with motorcycles like the Kawasaki H2, and to this day Triumph still create great motorcycles.

[@fordmondeoify]

Another great vid, thank you. I am normally pretty good at accents from around England but I am struggling, could it be Buckinghamshire?

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, it's a whacky blend of Lancashire, Cumbria, West & North Yorkshire, Texan and Oregonian! Best wishes, Mike

[@eskimo427]

I have a 1956 T100 and I never get tired of hearing that exhaust note...... unlike the music at the end.....sorry

[@Richard-pe4cx]

i might be a bit biased but when can we expect to see the A10

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hi Richard. Here are a few vids of the A10. It's going through a transformation and so will look quite different by the time we see it again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKTVg42sfdSGr5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnekm3-Bp9ygeNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjapoRrmcyIrtU Cheers, Mike

[@kubelwagen516]

Its a beauty

[@JamesCouch777]

Sweet 👍

[@bruceferguson6637]

What a beauty! Was that a tire pump above the chain guard?

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hi Bruce, yes it's a tire pump. Would you believe it that the original tyre/tire pumps are worth a fortune these days! Best wishes, Mike

[@1hughes130]

I am interested if it’s still for sale.

where is this barn , must visit .

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, I am still looking out for a barn like that!! Best wishes, Mike

[@kevinschilling1368]

considering the medicinal nature that your videos brings to most all of your fans, Mike,,,,,perhaps they could be called, "Dr. Taylor's House Calls"

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, thanks Kevin. It is therapeutic seeing all these amazing bikes, I must say. 🩺 😉

[@carriemoody9149]

Magnificent machine! Can I take it for a spin?! Pretty please?!

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hehe, there is a line forming to ride that bike 😉. It's a lovely bike isn't it! Best wishes, Mike

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

Sprung hub ?

[@TheMightyGarage]

Yes, Dick rebuilt it. It takes some courage to rebuild them! Best wishes, Mike

[@louis1748]

🥰😍

[@gwwayner]

A sweet classic ride indeed. But I cringe when I see those bare ankles so close to those scalding hot exhaust pipes!

[@mickducati1947]

😜👍

[@TheMightyGarage]

Thanks Mick. That is an awesome bike! Best wishes, Mike

[@DennisBocock]

I got my 53t500c for a rolling block .43 cal Egyptian

[@tauncfester3022]

First gear is awfully tall on these bikes.

[@craigkeller]

Why do guys stomp the kick starter like the bike displaces 350 cubic inches with a comp ratio of 33 to 1? One more point, all you guys and girls who “ know how to ride” please take a MSF course. Not for your own safety, but to spare the classics any harm.

[@TheMightyGarage]

Hi Craig, I looked back at the video and it didn't look like he stomped on the kickstarter. Perhaps it is his big stomping boots that just made it look like that 😉 Best wishes, Mike
