Every so often we feature an interesting vintage clothing piece that’s currently up for grabs on eBay. Please inform us if you create or discover an auction we might like by posting a link to the listing on our forum.
Item: vintage 1950s Triumph Motorcycle t-shirt
Brand: ColFast by Victoria Products
Sold By: blackrebelvintage
What the Seller Says: ORIGINAL VINTAGE TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE T-SHIRT. I BELIEVE THAT IT’S FROM THE 50s OR EARLY 60s.
What we Say: According to Wiki Motocross originated in Britain in the 1920s but was introduced to the U.S. in 1966. Given the tag is a product of St. Louis, it’s most likely from the 1960s. Elementary my dear aficionados. Although, maybe this isn’t even Motocross and I’m an idiot. Anyone? Beuller?
Final Price: $248.00

![[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.

RIP Ira Keeler. Long live the resistance.

Well…. The type of racing portrayed on the shirt isn’t motocross… it’s flat track or dirt track racing. Usually a quarter-mile up to a mile oval track without banks. The movie “on Any Sunday” circa 1970, documents the sport along with other types of off road motorcycle racing. Cool shirt!

Shirt is of Gary Nixon 2 time Grand National Champion 1967 & 1968 falt tracking (factory Triumph motorcycle racer). National #9. AMA National championship consisted of flat track and road racing. Shirt is probably from around 1969-70.
