There are only 6 triumphs listed in the EDR viwer....yours is not one of them.

My money says all motorcycles held in the Canadian army would have been issued a CAR/CFR number. It just may not have made it onto the tank or number plate. Your serial is certainly right in the group of Cdn numbers.

Thanks rob

when I first joined up (72) I'd often get tasked with the admin run to the Highbury Ave supply depot in London.

There were 99 of these bikes in crates..3 wide, three high, and 11 long, with the great big TRIUMPH stencil on the side. One crate had a few slats off and I would gawk. Every time.

The pile got a bit smaller every now and then and the last were issued to the Sigs regiment for the 76 Olympics.

I was hoping that this may be one of them..
