Harris Bonnie outside the factory, 1986 (I think). Did some serious miles on this bike, most of them at 6,000rpm or more !

It was a few months old when I bought it with only a few miles on it.

It was a ‘daily rider’ in my way at the time, but as a plumber my actual daily was a van!

So it got used evenings, weekly college run and weekends. All my mates had Japanese bikes so the Bonnie had a hard life: out of the shed, thrashed, return to the shed, repeat!

That’s not a water bottle holder dude, it’s Triumphs patented oil bottle holder. Needed when touring and burning a pint every 240-250 miles !

My 930cc T160 above lake Como in 2017.

All these Triumphs (except for the Rocket Three) look like old friends. I love all the T160s and the Harris Bonneville looks the business!

Mine. It's not pretty but everything that matters has been renewed. It runs great too.

1980. My Dad and little sister. My Dad bought me the Cub to try and keep me off the streets and out of trouble. It nearly worked too, but caused lifelong addiction problems !
Still got the Cub…

Triumph TSS, somewhere in France, 1996 I think:

What's the story
Looks like it's ready to go?
Is that a set of dunstal silencers I see?

Yes, the look like old decibels (?)

A friend has had it 10+ years, he's talked about selling it for five years, but finally put a number out there.


My F & F modus operandi is the seller names a price, I say yes, or no thank you.
No negotiation, no pretense.
Seems to work great.

Your T160 looks really nice.
To finish it off, maybe one of these to go on the Dave Madigan starter motor.

Pretty sure it's already got some kind of uprated starter. I got the original one in a box


Edit: I see now, to cover the ugly starter. Thank you

Pictures were taken around 1978/1979. I believe it was a 1969 Trident that I put an 860 kit in. And yes there is snow on the ground and clothes on a clothes line.
