Over the past few years, Leroy Turner has built a solid reputation as a quality motorcycle restorer. Earlier this year, his restoration of a 1970 BSA Lightning set a high price sales record of $14,000 at the Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction. In 2010, his beautiful 1967 Triumph TR6C sold in Las Vegas for $13,750 and his 1967 Triumph Bonneville sold on this website for $13,500. We have had Leroy rebuild many of the Triumph engines in our collection.
Leroy has recently completed two more restoration masterpieces and they are being offered for sale on this website, but only for a limited time before they go to auction in Las Vegas in January of 2012.
The first motorcycle is offered at $13,500 and is a rare 1968 Triumph TR6C 650cc twin as seen below.
The second motorcycle is a beautiful 1968 Triumph T100C 500 cc twin, which is being offered at $9,000. Here are some pictures:

Please be aware, both motorcycles will only be offered for sale on this website through the beginning of November, 2011 so if you are interested in owning one or both of them, it would be advisable to act very soon.
What a beautiful pair of bikes. Sorely tempted by the 1968 T100C .. I had a 1969 TR5C in my early 20s, and it has remained in my heart ever since, and would like to find another. The little 500 motor was sweet and tractable. '69 models had the twin leader front brake, and twin hot dogs in a bread basket. Any one want to part with one and make me a happy and grateful rider ?
Regards, Peter
