>Second world war Triumph side valve single...

My cousin had an ex army Trimuph.  It was a 1956 500 side valve twin.  He
bought it from Nicholson Bros. in Saskatchewan for 400 bucks in 1965.  I
was riding a 1958 Triumph 650 then.  We were out digging in the dirt one
day and I took a jump pretty high.  Came down with a bang and the oil tank
fell off the side and the generator fell out the front.  The oil lines held
the tank on till I got stopped and the electrcal lines drug the generator
on the ground till I hauled the beast to a standstill.  1958 Trimuph 650's
with 12 to one compression and Thuderbird heads were wild in the straight
away but hell on a jump.
