Lew's Cycle Ranch

Side note was Dad (Lew Atkinson) was National Enduro Champion in 1961 aboard a 1961 Triumph TR5AC (a one year only model). That was when winning the Jackpine 500 mile 2 day enduro made you AMA champion. 1961 was first year AMA had National Enduro Title I believe. Next year he tied for overall but lost out by a few seconds on tie breaker checks. The neat thing was both years he was riding Senior Class. Not sure if anyone as a senior has ever been National Champion other than him.

Attached is a photo of him in 61 holding trophy. Other photo is same bike a year later after he chrome plated the frame. Has high pipe not the low 2 into 1 the TR5AC came with because they got damaged too easily.

Take a look at the photos. 61 cut away engine. I have an old carb I want to cut away some day now that I have finally finished my 66 Honda S-90.
