If you have never seen the story of this guy watch "The Worlds Fastest Indian". Its a really great movie. Some of his records are still holding today.

Just forget about the tranny in the movie. Woke artistic license.

I’ve only seen 1 other reverse-headed “post-unit” Triumph. It was a drag bike with a turbo set up.

She’s pretty hot though!

I've generally opposed the idea of keeping two bikes at once but I'm seriously considering adding a second to the stable.

All of those guys built weapons. After the war they had to start making something else.

Would This Have Been our Drivers Fault?
Had there been a collision, would our driver have been at fault?

[Karma...]

had a mustang convertible with the 289 271 hp....dual exhaust.....nice car.....light rear end that would try to come around and beat my lightning fast reflexes coupled with good judgement.

AMF Harleys?
