I took this picture at a motorcycle show (I think at Earl's Court) in the 70's. I nearly signed my life away in order to buy one of these, I'd have been in debt for years so I chickened out.
This was a replica of the legendary Slippery Sam Triumph Trident which won the TT Production race 5 years on the trot from 71 to 75.
I did own a couple of Tridents back then, but in declining signing a note for one of these I made a classic mistake ... can't think what one would be worth now. But it isn't the money .. it's the fact that this bike was a legend.
