Vintage Triumph Cub Speedway Racer.
This is one of 18 Triumph Cub "Portland Speedway " race bikes built by old time racer Red Rice, (Daytona 1948). Red Rice hand built the frames,Cliff Mahjor (Cycle Hub Portland) and renowned hot rod builder Blackie Blackburn supplied engine and cycle parts. This machine, nicknamed the "Candy Striper" for it's paint job, was raced most of the time by local racer Clark Gable, (not the actor), and others and was at least once raced by Sammy Tanner. I acquired the bike from a collector who bought it after Cycle Hub Portland closed it's doors. It sat in the back of Cliff's shop since the 60's and has been stored ever since. It does not run and has a light surface rust on some of the chrome. It has the original 6V battery under the Bates racing seat and original paint, tires, wheels.
This machine is a unique part of American racing history. It is in as raced condition.
