I occasionally look because you would think that someone has registered the Frame or Engines in all this time.

It was almost finished being completely redone.

This was before Orange County or Anything.

I had the 72 but it had some problems, so I picked up the Tiger Cheap and was putting them together.

We added a Spring Front End slightly raked. Every piece of the engine was chromed. Fake Double Bob Tanks - Painted Union Jack - aka Captain America but UK Flag. Double Up seats with a Nice Sissy Bar that came up attleast 3.5 feet and sticking out of it was chrome Nautilaus Three Point Spikes.

No Odometer or Speed, just signal lights. Brand new painted frame and every piece that could be chromed was.

I was sick when the ex-Mechanic from the Triumph Bike Shop in Mesquite Texas stole it from me, and I went to his house and there was a note from someone he had sold it to looking for it and him.

My dumbass went down to the Lamplight Motel in Dallas and banged on the Door and made this big Burly Biker let me check his room and White Van for my Bike, because he did have a bunch of pieces in the Van, but none were mine. I was absolutely STOOPID. I was 23, skinny cyclist, not a Biker as my Lone Wolf Uncle kept trying to get me to understand. Just be cause I rode only Transport for 8 years and over 100,000 miles did not make me a biker, just a Cyclist.

I later got a Beautiful 1976 Suzuki GT-750 with 16K miles on it and not 1 scratch, 1 owner from a country mechanic near McKinney. It would go from 0-110 in 11 seconds in a Quater mile. 2 Stroke, 3 Cylinder, Water cooled and it had LED lights that showed you what gear you were in. It was so fast and best of all when you pulled into the apartments, you could down shift hard, and it would start popping loud backfires! My friend's told me they could easily hear me coming from over 1/2 mile away. I WAS EVIL Knievel! I collected tickets like Baseball cards. It was like going to 6 Flags EVERYDAY. Only difference was I nearly got hit by a car EVERYDAY, but only actually got hit twice on other bikes.

I think this guy is on the Isle of Man or Wight: He is NOT getting on it at ALL!:
