"My dad passed away several years ago and whilst I'd known he'd ridden bikes, Triumphs in particular, when he was younger, I never took the time to ask for the details.
I found these photos after he died and they're labelled as "Myrtle", "The 10" and "The Cub" respectively. I'm 99% sure "The 10" was a Tiger 110 and "The Cub" is obvious. Myrtle is a bit more of a mystery though I believe her to be a T20C. All the photos are taken on the old family farm in the Hunter Valley in NSW, Australia.
If you give me a day or two I can give you a couple of extra shots as well. I've a closer framed photo of my Dad astride Myrtle in that gear and on another of his bikes, a Malvern Star. :P There's also a shot of my uncle on the Cub and on his CZ.
I've seen photos as a kid of some of the other bikes my uncle had, a Matchless 500 twin and a number of BSAs but I never found them in the collection."
