The number of Old Triumphs participating in the Run event exceeded 200, making it the largest event of its kind in the world, and it has been submitted for a Guinness World Record.

A couple of stills from the film:

As a single manufacturer event, it’s very impressive

Here’s the man himself at number 283

There were 283 Triumphs. Each owner and bike was photographed individually in front of Mount Fuji. http://triumphriot.blogspot.com/

Just in case you missed it :slightly_smiling_face:

Very impressive when viewed IRL. You have to be there on a good day though - it’s often shrouded in clouds…

Yep, saw it but - and I humbly apologise - been a bit pre-occupied and busy with BB, holiday and domestic duties!

Will respond in due course, Iron. :upside_down_face:

I was unlucky enough not to see it, passing 2 times in front of it in the Shinkansen :smile:

Although really a BSA Rocket 3 and the very few Craig Vetter prototypes being labelled as such, I wouldn’t mind one at all

Still a pretty penny north of 20 grand for an original. (there’s one on ebay for £22,250 at the mo with only 1050 miles on it - not bad for a 1972 bike), they used to be getting on just short of £30k.
But for a replica about half that - I’d have to bin the triple pipes and lose all that back light clutter, cut down the mudguards, smaller headlight, fatter rims and tyres, etc. They do have a bit of a rep for cracking yokes as well. Nice to look at though. :slightly_smiling_face:
Those classic bikes prices are properly dipping these days, hardly worth selling any more.

Edit - having a closer look at the advert - there’s a bit of rat smell - I’d keep away :neutral_face:
