Noteworthy Photo Dump

[Bloodknot]

I have a narrative on this somewhere and will look it out. One thing I do remember is that the rear engine is used as a donkey engine and once powered up is then used as the motive power for bringing the front one online.

Here it is. The last three pages are comments, so nothing particularly interesting. If you search the bike’s name “Tri2ton” you will find a photo of the rear end but the res is not good. But no photo of the near side of the machine. However the description revealing the start sequence gives you a pretty good idea that the engine sprockets are directly linked without any clutch mechanism as valve lifters or the like are used to overcome the inertia of the front lump.

Yes the TT experience is unlike any other motorcycle race meeting in the world. Where you can spectate in places, almost within arms length of the riders. I went in 68, 69 and 70 when Mad Sunday really lived up to its name. I will definitely return to the island before I pop my clogs.

Did you buy that from Euro cycle in Las Vegas? It looks exactly like the one I traded in on my rocket.

If you're referring to my Speed Twin 900, no. I guess we must have similar tastes!
