1962 Triumph TR6SS Desert Sled

Ed Vanaman is a big fan of Italian, German and British bikes. Most bikes in his collection are high quality restorations but a few are in original condition. Always following tips, advertising and auctions Ed came across this great old Triumph, a fairly rare TR6SS. “To find a genuine desert sled with history and all the correct parts, I thought I’d found the Holy Grail of desert sleds. All the original parts taken off it when it was new were packed in cosmoline and they came with it.”

Fans of this niche in motorcycle racing are today building “period replicas.” But Ed found the real deal, intact. “I got it running and took it out for its first run in probably 40 years. It ran really strong and spun the rear tire on the rim which made it go flat and almost threw me off.”

This TR6SS was purchased new by Jim Peterson, president of the “Dirt Diggers” Motorcycle Club, AMA District 37, a very old Southern California off-road club. Jim says he converted it to a Desert Sled as soon as he got it, and that it has the first set of Ceriani’s shipped to California. Jim added the Q air filter, Bates seat, Bates shocks, folding foot pegs, built the motor for racing, creating an off-road racer known as a Desert Sled. The TR6 was part of the Dirt Riding USA exhibition at the museum a few years ago, but Ed decided to keep the bike in the Museum a little longer. How did the desert sled as a form come about?

Though enduro competition was held all over the United States, back east events were run through woods in the hills with stream crossings and tough, often muddy hills. Handlebars were trimmed at the ends to afford better clearance around trees. Out west the terrain most interesting and available for racing was through scrubby desert areas.

Before there were precision lightweight two-stroke bikes like Husqvarnas and Bultacos, large British twins were the machines of choice; the sandy courses like Baja called for big torque. Back when Steve McQueen participated in a variety of off-road events in southern California, he and Petersen were entrants in an Elsinore Grand Prix race, an important SoCal event begun in the late 1960’s.

Just about any Triumph or BSA twin could be modified to become a “desert sled.” Eastern riders fought to keep water out of their carbs. Out west, it was sand. Looking at very early motorcycle racing photos, you may see completely open intakes. But riding the Beach Course at Daytona, or riding in the desert, drove tuners to develop ways to keep highly destructive sand out of engines.

While a 60’s Triumph suspension and chassis geometry was pretty good on the street or dirt roads, plowing through sand, over rocks called for ground clearance and stability. Frames were modified for more rake, higher quality Ceriani forks were installed along with long travel shocks. Dunlop, Pirelli, Goodyear and Avon all produced coarse lugged knobbies, the lighter-in-weight Dunlop Sports was perhaps most popular. Rim locks kept tires, run at low pressure for traction, from slipping on the rim and ripping out valve stems like what happened to Ed. An overlay sprocket setup offers lower gearing. Stock steel rims were tough, a bit heavy, but shed mud and sand unlike flanged Akronts or Borranis.

The skid plate, often hand made, some from scoop shovels, protected crankcases and the primary cover from rock damage, aided in sliding over rocks and logs. Nicely tucked in high pipes were an accessory, added ground clearance. Though Ed’s bike is equipped with a Preston Petty front fender, “Snow Fenders” might be used, easy-to-clear flat aluminum bent to the tire’s radius. The Big Bear Enduro would finish where the snow could get quite deep! Hand controls could be stock or uprated to Megura. Spare levers and perches, also cables and spark plugs, were kept on the bike, cables often piggy-backed ready to connect. The real leather upholstered seat made by Bates is smaller, lighter than stock. A tool kit with tire irons and patches was mandatory; there’s no roadside assistance in the desert.

Jim Peterson sold the motorcycle to his good friend Chuck Cummings. Cummings put his son Chuck Jr. on the motorcycle to race. Cummings Jr. was a Bultaco sponsored rider on Saturday and raced this Triumph in amateur open class on Sunday! He was District 37 champion on this motorcycle many times and even beat Eddie Mulder once on it. When you visit the National Motorcycle Museum you can see Ed’s Triumph TR6SS and a few dozen other British bikes including Douglas, Norton, Ariel, BSA, some over 110 years old50502

BusyPeople KTM Scrambler

Con sede en Mumbai, India, el diseñador gráfico Akash Das no puede mantener su arte en solo dos dimensiones. Das y su esposa Garima operan BusyPeople como un proyecto paralelo, haciendo de todo, desde fotografía hasta motocicletas personalizadas, una de las cuales es la KTM 390 Duke.

Das vio potencial en la 390 para una Scrambler moderna, una marca que alcanzó admirablemente usando una combinación de procesos para las piezas personalizadas. El tanque utiliza un diseño de dos piezas con una cubierta de aluminio de estilo retro sobre una celda de combustible. El faro es una unidad LED JW con altavoz Bluetooth incorporado, alojado detrás de una cubierta de panal de aluminio y un alojamiento ajustado. Un subchasis trasero personalizado lleva un pequeño guardabarros y un asiento personalizado con cuero sintético resistente. La moto se monta sobre llantas de radios Akront de 17 pulgadas delante y detrás, y un tono simple y limpio de gris metálico contrasta con el cuadro.

Para los que no lo sepáis aún, en Valtorón no hacen las cosas como el resto de constructores. Ellos hacen esculturas sobre ruedas, pues a eso se dedican: A la escultura y, claro, cuando puedes realizar a mano un modelo de arcilla con todas sus formas y lo pasas a fundición de aluminio…

Texto: Patxi Mesa Fotos: Álvaro Cabezas Atienza

“Teníamos muchas ganas de hacer una moto de dirt track con una base made in Spain. Y ya que Montesa fue la única marca española que no construyó un modelo especifico para esta disciplina, nos pusimos manos a la obra partiendo de una base con una buena historia: Una Montesa Enduro 360 H6 que había pertenecido a la patrulla rural de la Guardia Civil y que Pablo compró, completamente desmontada y metida en cajas hace más de una década, por 100 euros.”

Como es costumbre en Valtorón, la carrocería se modeló sobre el chasis en arcilla y se fundió en aluminio.

Como buena moto de dirt track que se precie, se adaptó un disco trasero y se suprimió el delantero. Fue bastante laborioso adaptar el disco en el buje original de Montesa, ya que éste lleva freno de tambor.

También se modificaron las estriberas, bajando y adelantando la derecha para conseguir una postura auténtica de dirt track.

Fabricamos un escape artesanal con formas adaptadas al pilotaje en el óvalo. En definitiva, se trataba de hacer una moto de hoy en día que pareciera que se construyó en los setenta y diseñada específicamente para la disciplina de Short Track que tanto gustaba entonces en los USA. Para este proyecto nos propusimos que todas las piezas que utilizásemos

fuesen made in Spain de los setenta (Motor, carburador, amortiguadores, horquilla, manillar, manetas, puño de gas, freno, disco)

Había que buscar un nombre, cosa a la que en Valtorón siempre damos mucha importancia. Pensamos que Meteorito 360 hubiera sido muy apropiado en los setenta para competir con su gran rival de la época, la Bultaco Astro.

360, además de por la cilindrada del motor, nos pareció muy acertado por aquello de “dar vueltas siempre girando”‘

Y lo cierto es que lo que ves en las fotos, si ya tienes unos años, es una máquina que de algún modo resulta familiar pero que ha adquirido un aire atemporal, muy bien terminada y con la que sólo quieres abrir gas como un endemoniado… ¿No tiene freno delantero? Como si el tambor original fuese capaz de pararla…

A Brief History of the Norton P11, P11A, and Ranger – Everything You Need To Know

Bob Blair And A Desert Sled Called The P11

The idea for the motorcycle that would become the Norton P11 began in 1966 with Southern California Norton distributor Bob Blair who reasoned that if you took a Matchless G85 CS (Competition Scrambles) frame and squeezed a Norton Atlas 750cc parallel twin engine into it then you might just have a “desert sled” type of bike that would be able to beat the seemingly unbeatable BSA Hornet and Triumph TR6C.

The Matchless G85 CS frame was made using Reynolds 531 tubing, a manganese–molybdenum, medium-carbon steel alloy, which was the class leader for use in racing cars, motorcycles, and competition bicycles as well as having uses in aircraft construction.

Clint Eastwood on his Norton P11 in London

Bob Blair was the proprietor of ZDS Motors, Glendale, California, who were a US West Coast distributor for the motorcycle lines of Berliner Motor Corporation. Bob suggested his idea to Joseph Berliner, whose Berliner Motor Company had become the sole distributor for Norton in 1961.

Joe was not impressed, he did not think it could be done and he wasn’t willing to give it a try, he just didn’t think it was worth it, but he said that if Bob wanted to build one he could go ahead and build a prototype himself.

Bob Blair still believed it was worth it and so he discussed this with ZDS Motors fabricator Steve Zabaro. Steve Zabaro was enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that he donated his own slightly crashed Matchless G85 CS as the base bike. Steve Blair extracted the engine from a new still in the crate Norton N15 and the two put in the workshop time to make the project happen.

Joe Berliner had been right in his assertion that the project would require a lot of effort, Bob and Steve understood that when they took the task on. They had to fabricate an alloy adapter plate to join the 750cc engine with the AMC four speed gearbox.

To ensure correct chain alignment for the final drive a system of frame spacers/distance pieces was created. The magnesium rear hub of the G85 CS was retained as were the front Teledraulic forks, wheels, handlebars and seat. A custom fabricated oil tank was made, as was a custom high mounted exhaust system.

The completed custom bike had taken three weeks to create and it showed great promise in test riding: but the next step was to get the bike into the hands of a seasoned desert racer and see if he thought the bike was a viable competition, and perhaps commercial concern.

Bob Blair put the prototype bike into the hands of Mike Patrick, and he with friend Tom “Tiny” Maxwell took the bike out into the desert to, in Mike’s own words “run the crap out of it”.

Mike was nursing a sore shoulder from a crash and although he tried to race it for a while the pain barrier turned out not to be one he would push through. But Mike was very impressed with the bike and when he returned it to Bob Blair he told him to make sure the guys in England did not change anything, it was good to go just as it was.

The “Cheetah” Becomes the Norton P11

Not knowing if the folks at AMC (Associated Motor Cycles) would even be willing to build the motorcycle he wanted Bob Blair sent the prototype across the pond to England to see if they would indeed put the model into production.

He and Seattle ZDS distributor Bob Budschat and the son of Joe Berliner, Mike Berliner displayed the prototype “Project 11” at the London, Earls Court, trade show of 1966 where it was seen by the new owner of Norton Villiers, Mr. Dennis Poore. The result was that the decision was taken to get the bike into production for 1967.

youtube

Bob Blair suggested to the AMC boys that nothing should be changed but, boys will be boys, and the boys at Norton in Britain could not resist making a few subtle improvements. Oftentimes when people do that it turns out for the worse, but in this case the improvements were really improvements.

The magneto ignition of the prototype was replaced with a twin coil capacitor system, the monobloc carburetor of the prototype was replaced with twin Amal Concentric carburetors, an alloy sump guard was added to ensure that the vulnerable bottom of the engine and transmission had some protection against destructive encounters of the rock kind, and both a tachometer and speedometer were added so that the Americans would really know just how fast they were going.

Happily the nice English people at Norton were happy to put the bike into production and the bikes made their way to the United States to do battle with their arch rival “desert sleds“, the BSA Hornet and Triumph TR6C.

The British had initially intended to call the new bike the “Cheetah 45” but its in-house project name had been “Project 11”, and ultimately this was simply shortened to “P11”. At Norton in Woolwich, London, the P11’s were manufactured as parts bin specials with the intention that Norton could convert some of its inventory of spare parts into nice crisp banknotes.

Once it had been studied by Norton Villiers the prototype bike was returned to ZDS in the United States and was subsequently acquired by motorcycle parts business Domi Racer, of Cincinnati, Ohio, when ZDS went out of business.

They in turn sold it to a gentleman who resides near London in Britain, and the bike is thought to be still in his care.

The P11 Proves to be an “Arse Kicker”

It was in 1967 that the first of the production P11 bikes (Number 121013) arrived at ZDS and was taken by Mike Patrick who modified it according to his tastes and took it racing for the 1968 competition year.

Customers initially did not pour into Bob Blair’s ZDS Motors to exchange nice crisp US dollar banknotes for Norton P11’s however. The P11 was quite expensive priced at USD$1,339.00, and Norton was a less well-known brand in the world of off-road racing.

The P11 would need to establish a reputation for itself before sales could be expected to boom.

Mike Patrick was the guy whose Norton P11 was hoped to establish that “street cred” and indeed he won the Heavyweight Championship in 1968. The competition successes of the P11 served to boost sales but that was however to be the last victory on the P11 because by the following year lightweight two stroke machines would come to dominate and the days of the Norton P11’s dominance were swiftly brought to an end.

Mike won the Lightweight Championships in 1969 and 1970 on a Yamaha 250cc.

Mike was riding against some of the greats of desert racing of that period including the likes of Bud and Dave Ekins, and a guy with the unlikely name of “Harvey Mushman”, who in reality was Steve McQueen but he had to race under a pseudonym as his Hollywood studio had forbidden him from motorcycle racing.

For Steve McQueen the word “forbidden” simply meant being discreet about his desert racing hobby.

Mike Patrick had fallen in love with the P11 however and said of it “Nothing is, or ever will be, a match for the big Norton sailing across the desert.”

The Norton P11A And The Norton Ranger

In 1968 the P11 was superseded by the Norton P11A, a bike with a somewhat different set of qualities. The P11A was made as a road going motorcycle having a more comfortable seat. This bike was heavier, and had low mounted tapered street type exhaust pipes fitted with removable end-caps and baffles.

The Norton P11A Ranger appeared in 1969 and this was even more a street bike, and was also made as a “parts bin special” which resulted in the specification changing during production to use up the parts that remained in the bin.

This meant that the model was made with no less than four different styles of oil tank, two of which were alloy and two of steel. Fuel tanks were either 3.6 gallon or 2.2 gallon. Forks, frames and handlebars progressively changed as did the ignition systems, with two different types being fitted.

Clint Eastwood on his P11, year unknown.

By the time the last of the P11A Rangers were being produced the Norton Commando was in production and so late model Rangers were fitted with cylinder heads made with Commando castings.

The final iteration of the P11A Ranger was the Norton Ranger 750 which featured strengthened side stand mounting brackets, and a brake light operated by the front brake. This model had a “Ranger 750” decal on the oil tank and battery cover.

The P11A Ranger was no slouch in the performance department as evidenced by the 1970 performance of Leo Goff who set a number of drag racing records including an 11.58 second quarter mile with a finishing speed of 118mph.

Norton P11, P11A, and Ranger Specifications

Engine: 745cc Atlas OHV vertical twin cylinder air cooled. Compression ratio 7.5:1. Carburetors, Twin 1⅛” Amal Monobloc. Ignition, Lucas K2F magneto. Power 54hp @ 6,400rpm.

Fuel tank: 2.7 US gallons

Transmission: Four speed AMC with chain final drive.

Frame: Modified Matchless G85 CS dual down-tube Reynolds 531 alloy steel tubing cradle frame.

Suspension: Front forks, dual Teledraulic. Rear, dual Girling shocks with adjustable pre-load.

Wheels: Front, Akront WM2-19″ with 7″ SLS drum brake with fins removed. Rear, WM3-18″ steel rim with 8″ SLS G50 magnesium hub.

Tires: Front, 3.5×19″. Rear, 4×18″.

Seat height: 32.75″

Weight (dry): 345lb

Conclusion

The Norton P11 was a star that shone all too briefly. It established itself as a desert sled that was enormously enjoyable to ride, and as a bike with a truckload of British Norton personality.

Nowadays the original bikes are collector’s items but if someone wants to obtain an original it is necessary to check the bike’s providence thoroughly, and this is not a particularly easy thing to do as there is some debate over frame numbers and other parts fitted to the original machines.

Not only that but given that the original P11 was built as a competition machine it is to be expected that they will have been modified, or that people have constructed their own version based on whatever happened to be available in their own personal parts bin.

But if you are looking for a bike that delivers the riding experience of which Mike Patrick tells us “Nothing is, or ever will be, a match for the big Norton sailing across the desert.” then a P11, either original or reconstructed, is likely to be the bike for you.

Hubo un tiempo en que las motos no corrían sobre asfalto, sino en circuitos ovales hechos con tablas de madera. Fue la época de los Board Tracks. Eran motos sencillas y desnudas, con el único objetivo de alcanzar la máxima velocidad, como la réplica que Kacerwagen nos presenta. Su aspecto es inconfundible y la obsesión por la fidelidad en los detalles ha llevado a Chus al extremo de prescindir hasta de las suspensiones. Una máquina genuina que vamos a ver en detalle.

Visualmente es bonita y evocadora. Sólo se me ocurre meterla en un óvalo y abrir gas a fondo como un prófugo del infierno hasta el límite del motor y dejarla descansar -porque está claro que soy incombustible y los años no han hecho mella en mi cuerpo- para volver a la carga y rebajar el tiempo. Después, ya podréis evacuarme en una carretilla…

El trabajo de Chus en esta moto es todo un ejemplo de artesanía y reutilización de materiales. Para empezar, partiendo del chasis de una Yamaha SR 250 Special, del que apenas queda la pipa de dirección, fabricó un nuevo bastidor de innegable inspiración deportiva de la época. Es destacable el hecho de que Chus no hace bocetos, sino que intenta plasmar en metal lo que su cabeza va elucubrando bajo el influjo de vaya usted a saber qué… Pero el caso es que le funciona. Fabricó sus propias tijas en las que incorporó el manillar, también de la casa, y le montó una horquilla rígida que él mismo elaboró en el taller. Para seguir con la parte ciclo, la rueda trasera mantiene la disposición original de una Morini Kanguro 350, con la corona de la secundaria montada alrededor del tambor de freno, obteniendo así un aspecto despejado y simple que encaja muy bien con el concepto. Una goma Shinko de diseño retro, naturalmente, remata la parte trasera. Delante aprovechó la llanta de la SR y le montó un freno de tambor de doble leva mandado por un varillaje que él mismo hizo, al igual que las manetas, tanto de freno como de embrague. En este caso, el neumático es un Avon Speedmaster, otro clásico de este tipo de construcciones.

En cuanto al motor, procede de la Morini Kanguro 350, aunque Chus tuvo que desarmarlo completamente, reconstruirlo de nuevo y hacerle algunas modificaciones, como rebajar las tapas de balancines para ofrecer ese aspecto redondeado que es el que se espera de una moto de principios del siglo XX. No hay que fijarse mucho para ver latón reciclado por todos lados. Aquí no se tira nada. El protector de magneto también es de latón reciclado, las trompetas de los carburadores son unas viejas copas de cocktail, también de latón, y la fontanería de recirculación de gases del motor es de cobre, proveniente de un viejo aire acondicionado. El embrague es en seco y no tenemos ni idea de dónde lo habrá podido sacar, pero encaja a la perfección en el conjunto y le otorga un marcado aire de autenticidad. ¿Motor de arranque? Eso pesa demasiado. Patada y a correr.

En el apartado de accesorios… Bueno, si consideras que el depósito y el asiento son accesorios, pues los hay, porque por lo demás no vas a ver ni una luz, ni indicadores de nada, ni guardabarros… todo es peso inútil en una moto de este estilo. El depósito está hecho a mano, lo mismo que el asiento con suspensión de muelles sacados del tren de válvulas de una furgoneta Volkswagen. Lo dicho, Chus no desperdicia nada de nada. La tapicería del asiento es de Senen Leather Works.

Para terminar con esta preciosidad sólo queda mencionar el estupendo trabajo de pintura de Buba Custom Paint, que le va al dedillo, y envia un mensaje a su propietario, a quien no tenemos el gusto de conocer: Colega, tú sabrás qué haces con tus riñones, pero esa sonrisa canalla no va a desaparecer en mucho, mucho tiempo. Disfrútala, porque realmente es única.

The Matchless G45 – The Isle of Man TT Winning Grand Prix Racer

The Matchless G45 was developed in 1951 as a grand prix racer using an AJS 7R rolling chassis fitted with a modified Matchless G9 roadster engine with a new aluminium-alloy cylinder barrel and high-flow head with distinctively finned exhaust rocker boxes to aid in cooling.

Over the course of its 1951 to 1957 production run just 80 were built, approximately half that number are thought to have survived to the modern day, and they now change hands for $50,000 to $70,000+ USD apiece.

Matchless was founded in 1899 in England, making it one of the county’s first major motorcycle manufacturers.

Charlie Collier won the very first Isle of Man TT singles race in 1907 aboard a Matchless, his brother Harry won in 1909, and Charlie won again in 1910. The race victories helped with sales, and by 1931 the company was in the position to buy out their competitors at AJS. Later in the 1930s they bought out Sunbeam, and formed Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) as an umbrella company.

Under AMC the racing efforts were mostly run under the AJS name, so there was much interest in 1951 when the Matchless G45 was introduced and sent to compete in the 1951 Isle of Man TT. The model model would finish fourth behind the dominant Nortons, a great showing for a brand new motorcycle with minimal development time.

1952 would see Matchless return to the Isle of Man TT and this time take a decisive victory, much has been made of this win as it was accomplished with a factory race bike that wasn’t available to the general public as the rules stipulated. Matchless quickly announced that the G45 would be available to privateer racers and sales began soon after, this quelled the controversy around the 1952 win, and the G45 quickly became a common sight in top flight motorcycle grand prix in Britain, and further afield in the USA, Australia, and South Africa.

The engine in the Matchless G45 is a 498cc single cylinder with pushrod actuated overhead valves, a bore x stroke of 66 mm X 72.8 mm, twin Amal 9300 carburettors, a Lucas competition magneto, and a 6 volt electrical system. Horsepower increased slightly over the lifespan of the G45, the first iteration had 48 hp but later versions had 54+hp, giving a top speed of over 130 mph.

The 1955 Matchless G45 Shown Here

The unusual 1955 Matchless G45 you see here was ordered in ’55 and delivered immediately to South Africa where it was ridden by Borro “Beppe” Castellani – a 7-time South African road racing champion. Little is known about Beppe’s time with the G45 but 6-time world motorcycle champion Jim Redman mentions Beppe in his autobiography as follows:

“For the time being, the most important thing for me was to win the 1957 500cc Championship in South Africa but, unfortunately, I was beaten by Beppe Castellani, the current South African Champion, untouchable at the time.”

It’s likely that Beppe was riding this bike at the time, as many riders used the same bike for multiple seasons before upgrading and this Matchless would have been less than 2 years old in 1957. Beppe liked to mark his competition bikes and this bike carries a South African coin “sweated” in the crankcase just below the barrel on the primary (left hand) side.

The bike now lives in the United States, in more recent years it underwent a comprehensive restoration. It’s now fitted with twin Amal 930 Concentric carburettors, a Lucas competition magneto, a high-performance SS cam, an on/off tap, and an oil filter in the return line. It’s also fitted with a fork stabilizer and Akront alloy wheels with stainless spokes surrounding the original drum brakes front and rear.
