Anyone ride a TSS ?

I’m curious, anyone on here stupid enough to ride a TSS ?

@Fast Eddie That's a strange comment. "Stupid" enough to ride?

I had a TSS for a good few years and rode it a fair bit. THOROUGHLY MODERN bike, triple discs, electronic ignition, e-start, etc.

Never gave me a hint of trouble. Instant starting, and first-kick starting almost as easily.

Handled perfectly well, never a worry, never exhibiting ill manners at any time. 40+MPG with ease.

It had shorty mufflers, but I had the originals in a box.



I have NO CLUE what you're on about...

Yeah, I know all about them GP… I had one for 16 years and am possibly on the verge of getting another.

The one you had was what is known as the TMA spec (American distributor), they were the final batch made before it all went tits up. 112 of them I believe. If you ever see a mint low miler come up for sale over there please let me know.

I’m interested to hear from anyone still / currently riding a TSS. Stupid or otherwise

Well, there was a brand new one complete with factory hang tags, in a glass case at Dude Wheeler's Gate City Cycle in Nashua, NH.
He passed in 2019.
I'm unsure if the bike was sold at the Jerry Wood auction in 2020.

A fair correction !

I’m surprised a but of humour caught you out so badly tho GP.

I’m a huge TSS fanboy, and I’m simply trying to find any others that may be out there…

Anyone ?

Nah, not badly at all.

The worst part was causing me to remember I NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD IT!!!!!

Now that I can relate to!

I’d have put Norton type peashooters on your bike and called it perfect !
