1965 Triumph T100 SC
Engine no. T100SR H38611

While Triumph's hulking 650cc 'sleds' ruled the deserts of the Southwest, it was the company's lighter, nimbler 500cc twins that held sway in the tight woods of the Midwest and muddy conditions found on the East Coast. In fact, the talented Bill Baird won seven consecutive AMA National Enduro Championships from 1962-68 riding a largely stock Triumph T100. He retired from regular competition in 1968 after notching an overall win in the prestigious Jack Pine Enduro, run through rural Michigan's maze of densely packed trees, where 500cc Triumphs won outright seven times before lightweight, purpose-built two-strokes became the enduro bike of choice.

Triumph's T100SC reflected that off-road influence and, in fact, was referred to as the 'Jack Pine Triumph' in brochures. It came equipped with high pipes and Energy Transfer ignition, which needed no battery. While intended primarily for the American market, the Brits also put the SC to good use, with six modified examples all nabbing gold medals at the 1966 International Six Days Trial for the UK team.

The T100SC presented here shows a lot of patina and will need recommissioning before being able to go on the road safely.
