Title: INFORMATION HELP?
Post by: YAMRED on October 16, 2009, 08:01:46 AM

Over TEN years i have sent many e mails to many different people and organisations like the following... . . . . ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!
 Hi Please can anyone help me i,m trying to trace my late fathers Triumph. He died from Cancer a while ago when i was young and i always said i would try and find the bike... I,ve been trying for so so long. I have always had bikes and would love to see what ever happened to his beloved bike or any of his bikes he had alot back in the day.
I have pictures of some of them but only the registration of one.
The one i have a picture of is a red triumph with the reg TRY777 With the reg plate running down the front mud guard.
My Fathers name was DAVID RAYMOND TAYLOR and he lived in Topcliffe North Yorkshire and was a bricklayer
I know my father worked as a young lad for a man called RAY CHASE
in Ripon North Yorkshire who built bike frames and bikes from scratch especially triumphs He also made up and bought another bike which i think was a Triumph T110 Motor in a norton Frame?
I know it had a Bright gold tank and i have the original bill of sale here... Please can anyone help me???
Its now three years since i wrote that letter and nothing,,, So this is why i,m trying again for the last time..

I remember Ray Chase, I bought some Triumph bits from him in the mid seventies, quite a character!
