Recently learned my dad used to ride a Triumph and am trying to find what bike he rode. I have a single pic of it. Once I found out what it is I will be trying to track one down and rebuild it slowly. Figured this would be a great place to learn more about them and meet some other riders. I am a HD guy but always liked the old school Indian and Triumph's.

Welcome, from Northern California.
Hello and welcome to TT from the east coast of Canada 
Pretty hard to tell what the bike is. Possibly a competition model; somewhere in the late 60's era.

Howdy! Looks a bit like a 1965 Triumph T120C TT Special.

Hey JT, welcome from Nevada, where are you located?
Wow. That looks spot on. The pipes are a dead giveaway. Thanks.
That would be a prize Triumph to have. Are you the one sitting with your dad?
Older sis.
That would be a beautiful bike to have. Do you have any idea where it went?
I really wish I did. He only had it a few years and family grew so he sold it.
Dealership is still there. Wish they kept records that far back.
I'll bet they do have the records, and just don't want to dig them out and search them. It may take a little persuasion ($$) of the owner/manager to search the 1-3 years after your sister's birth. That still may not directly lead you to the bike, but it may lead you to a VIN number that you can track online for a history of purchases/exchanges.
Well, it’s the way life goes. I’ve acquired items similar to what my grandpa/dad may have had, just because. There is no recapturing the past, but it can be said it’s honoring the past.
It’s worth a shot.
My HD site I belong chimed in and stated a 66 T100SC. All due the the head fins, horn position, single speedo w/ no tach and the sharper edges on the primary. Even for the green color down. He went all out and dug deep.
Thought it may just be a C not SC but the horn, seat stripe and edges place it as a SC.
Still gonna try the dealer but It is a great starting point.
Keep your thoughts coming though. I thought I had it before. Thanks all!

Hope you can track down a bike(or THE Bike) for yourself.
