1971 Triumph Daytona 500 T 100 R DGM3187 VIN. EE23187. We bought this bike on Orcas Island and Andrew rode it back sightseeing on his way. 3 owner bike. From the seller his comments to us (The bike rides well and I used to use it to commute to work every day (when I didn't need a pickup to haul wood). The guy I bought it from on Lopez said a friend had it garaged since the 70s (he bought it from his friend late 90s) with 200 miles on it and that he bought it and put about 2000 on it (just on Lopez Island). I put the rest of the miles on since. I have had it for 6 years and have never had any issue with the way it runs. I had it garaged for the last 2 years because I was building my house, and when I added fuel this Spring, it started right up first kick and I rode it over to San Juan and spent 6 hours over there riding around and back. I have always drained the gas before storage and cleaned and retuned the carbs, plus change the oil every year.) Andrew had a great ride and says the Triumph ran and rode very well. It's a good looking bike. Has bar end mirrors. Ethanol free gas. The speedometer shows 6,923 miles and I believe that is probably actual miles but know way of proving it so selling as unknown miles. Recent new tires. Great for vintage riding.
