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.

That's a proper looking bike, Bob.
Some years ago I came across a chap in Bletchley who was restoring a Triton? (Triumph Norton hybrid?) that had been a TT machine. It looked similar to your Trident in style and shape, but was rather scruffy.
