Triumph - one of the bathtub models from about 1960 - maybe a 3T 350cc?

I'd rather say not mandatory. I doubt that you had more chance to survive at that time compared to know if your head hurts the road when you fall :whistle:

Oui, mais c'était une forme de "risquophilie" que je trouve acceptable... après tout on a le droit de se suicider, non? ...

De nos jours on nous impose le "tout sécuritaire" sauf quand ça dérange les intérêts des puissants de ce monde (de très nombreux exemples dans le domaine de l'ecologie , suivez mon regard ..) ..et la "risquophilie" s'est déplacée dans d'autres sphères (l'emploi par exemple .... ) ;)

Oui et non : le problème c'est qu'en cas de blessure plutôt que de décès ça coûte à la sécu [:spamafote]
Et puis si tu renverses une moto et que le gars n'a pas son casque, si t'as sa mort sur la conscience même si c'est de sa faute c'est pas top :/

I feel sure this is a Triumph 350 3TA or Twentyone. This styling was current from 1957 to about 1962. http://www.motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classic_bikes/triumph_twenty_one.jpg - this one is a '62.

The two others that we have are listed with both 3TA and Twenty-One names: /vehicles_make-Triumph_model-3TA.html

I just found some info on these bikes. The 3TA and Twenty-one are the same thing. Apparently the Twenty-one name was dropped after a couple of years. It is a bit difficult to be certain with a b/w picture but this bike appears to be all the same colour so it is more likely to be a 5TA from 1959 0n. They were all red, frame included, whereas the 350 3TA had a black frame and the panels were light blue.

You can delete the 350 bit out of the title - it is a 500 but just call it a 5TA.
