CFR Request Thread

[45jim]

Anyone have any access to the list of CFR's to VIN's for the 1956 Triumph TRW motorcycle?

I have 56-90373 among others but this is the only one with a CFR painted on.

This is the only info I could find on the 56 Triumphs. Most likely these are just the ones held by Museums:

Here is another one of the triumphs off the list above:

1957 93874 0122 CFB CHILLIWACK 30901 MOTORCYCLES ALL TRIUMPH B2

I found the following at this link: http://www.britishcyclesupply.com/Bikes/BHicks001.htm

Attached is a photo of my '57 Triumph TRW. I acquired this machine in '02 from the original owner who bought it 1967 from Crown Assets. It had 1800 miles on the fine Smiths odometer. It currently has just over 8000. All original, except tyres, tubes and battery; some fittings have been replaced with AN stock, but its a week-end rider. I service it with help from Gary at Carps Cycle in Ladner B.C. It runs well on 100/ll and aeroshell 60w.

Enjoy, I do...

I would suggest that the theory about the short list of triumphs has nothing to do with museum holdings, but rather is just is the result of the old paper trails back in the day. Shame too, because with all this talk about TRWs, I ran out this weekend and bought one. Unfortunately, while almost the entire bike is still in it's original army coloring, the fuel tank had been stripped and repainted, so the CFR number is lost. I don't want to hijack the CFR thread so I'll start a new thread elsewhere on the bike.

Fellas,

I've got a few quiet weeks here at work before the next batch of training crazyness kicks in, followed by another deployment overseas.

If you require any info pulled from the EDR, nows the time.
