Author Snapshot

Armand with one of his many Triumphs infront of his 1949 Dodge. He loved (and still loves) the 1968 single-carb 650cc TR6Rs...also called a Tiger or a Trophy (depending on year). This particular bike had a bunch of mods. Noticeable is the Joe Hunt magneto. A great mag, but the mounting points on the timing cover were weak, so the heavy magneto vibrated loose. But, no battery required to start. The TT pipes were open at first, but neighbors didn't like that, so he added some shorty mufflers. Not visible is his custom splayed carb manifold that siamesed two 32mm Mikuni carbs into one intake.
