Need Your Help!
TWN Not Sure...
Hi everyone. I've recently picked up this bike in Saigon (where I'm
currently living). Not sure what year the bike is. Could anyone venture
a guess? It's in 99% original condition and runs well. Any ideas about
value? Many thanks - Stan

Also, he informs me that the family is moving into their new

It's nice to hear from another lover of older motorcycles and scooters.
I forgot to mention I also had a Cushman Husky right before I purchased
the Tessy. I mowed lawns and carried one of our local newspapers,
to pay for the two scooters.
I'm not to sure if I have any photos of either the Tessy or the Norton.
Well, that is actually not true, I have one photo of the Norton right
after I was in an accident in January of 1967.
I know, riding a motorcycle in January her in the U.S.A. is a little,
strange, but if you have ever lived in a climate where we have snow in
the winter, you would understand the word "strange".
I will have to look through my photos and I'll even ask my mother if
she may have saved any photos of me with the to putts I mentioned.
The accident I mentioned, was in January of 1967, a automobile ran
me off the road. Needless to say, the driver of the auto did not
stop or even slow down.
You might want to check back with me to keep me reminded to look for
the photos.
Regards.

I did find one old photograph of my old Tessy. It's not a very
good photograph, but it is a photo that you requested.
I would like to say, that that little scooter would run the pants of
a Vespa scooter or even the Lambretta (spelling, not sure).
I would even use the Tessy to deliver my newspaper route, it was very
quiet and a lot of fun.

1954 TWN Information
My father owned a beatiful 1954 TWN German bike. 350 cc 2 stroke, 100%
ORIGINAL. I don't know the model; maybe a BOSS, since I'm not where the
bike is right now. It is still basically intact and there are some major
spare parts that came with it, but it needs some work. It hasn't run for
about 15 years. He used it to travel from Uruguay to the U.S. between 1955-1956
documented). I'd like to know if there is anybody interested in purchasing
for a collection or the current price for one of those. I will post a some
photos pretty soon.

Dear Sir,
I found your TWN-pages on the internet. Myself I have an B200L,
1936 and restored.
The bike af mr. A.J. Attaiano is an B200 1936/37. At the moment
we are e-mailing to solve his problems.
Nice site.

Hi
Just surf in at your web page and find my bike at your site.
I'm the owner of the bike at the top of the page. It's a TWN
BOSS 1954 350cc two-stroke, this picture was taken for Swedens largest
magazine of old bikes, and the picture was used in a calendar of old bikes
in 1995.
I began to restore the bikes in 1990 and it was finished the next summer.
I also have a original Steib LS 200 sidecar for it too.
I made all the work by myself for ex. the paint job, some welding, and
I have to made some new parts for the bike too. The rear silencer
on both side and new pistons etc.
I also bought some parts from a German dealer, he has a lot of spare
parts for these bikes.

You have to call him or write a letter on the German language, he doesn't
respond in English or any other language than German.
I hope you understand my bad English.

Hi all,
I'm from Belgium and I own a TWN Boss 1953. It started as quite a wreck
(only 75% original, bad shape, been used for motorcross (I think it had
crashed several times), lots of rust, ...).
Nice points were that it did have a sozius and original documentation.
By now it has been totally rewired, most original parts have been restored
(I don't really replace or reproduce original parts) and most of the non-original
parts (like front light, wheels and such) have been replaced by parts I've
found in Hamburg (a guy there has the army-stock for TWN BDG250 which has
a lot of parts in common with the 350 Boss (BTW: I'll look up the name
and address of this guy and post it later on)).
I'm still looking for exhaust pipes (the end parts) and hope to find
them soon (maybe at Motorrad-Stemmler).
Some questions for the group:
1. Anyone know how to connect the speed-cable on the rear-wheel?
2. Anyone experienced with attaching a side-car (Steib)?
3. To James Wolf: How come you show your first pictures on http://www.narma.org/euro/brands/triumph-twn.htm
and the final result on http://www.fen-net.de/joachim.fritz/triumph/t-boss.htm
[404]? Nice result and very fast (started only in april???), congratulations!

I have a rare one for you all!
I own (what I believe to be) a 1937? TWN B200 E. The reason I believe
this is, the only Photos that came close to my machine are of this particular
model in my 6 yrs of research. The only difference is, the front
forks have been replaced with the more modern tube style forks, the front
fender is from an Austrian Puch and finally a BMW R35 pannier rack was
altered and added to the back. However, all the other parts/featuers match
up exactly. The frame, engine (vertical cylinder not angled forward)
the motor casing and dymamotor, hand shift, Flat bottom tank and emblem,
even the 2 piece rear fender! If I add a photo, can anyone help me
identify this machine so I don't go nuts? Is it possible to perhaps
locate the proper front fender, (Forks maybe) and I need TIRES and TUBES
badly. The tires on this machine now are Reise tires dated 1941 and
are in really good shape but getting dry (19 X 3,00 front and 19 x 3,25
rear). HELP!!!!! I really want to restore this machine properly,
oh and it does run,,, like a top!
Thank you everone!!!!!

Now this is preety cool...like the stories of a dusty classic waiting
in some barn for the collector to discover.
Well It happened to me today, a once in a lifetime find.
Its a 1955 TWN Boss Motorbike, it is 99% original condition, (the rear
brake light looks odd).
TWN stands for Triumph Werks Nurnberg, there a very few of these. Triumph
(British) built in a factory in Germany from 1951 to 1955. It is all class
and beauty, brass badges, chrome tank, hydraulic brakes...a beautiful piece
of design. You can just look a it for ... like art, it is art, industrial
art. All is there and original, seat, brass emblem badges, levers not bent
or scratched (never been dropped), German glass lamp lens, exhaust pipes,
on and on, I pulled the caked in dust and rust thing out of a garage and
delivered it to my home this morning. I washed it off and she looks...well...not
to bad (for her years). This is what restorers look for, a classic that
is all there and not altered or rebuilt. I will have a total restoration
done (here, for the price of a couple of New York diners) and she'll be
like new. One day I hope to send it home. It could certainly be a museum
piece. I want to share the excitement with you.
Pictures...
This it the TWN I got today.
This biker will look like the one above when restored...
Whatta nice classy classic.
I live in saigon, and I met another American guy riding one, thought
it was a beautiful bike, so started looking for one. Well, ask a
few people and....was lucky.
BTW I will be reproducing parts...pipes, levers, some clutch parts....who
needs what?
