Now if everyone sends this to Triumph every week , it might shame someone into doing something .
 
That's South Bay Triumph's niche.

They've done some stuff on the salt ( I believe they set a few records); that's where I met Sir Alan Cathcart, riding for them on a really nice Thruxton.

Those were the days .
 
Ol` Al Crashcart eh , storyteller of fanciful legends & notorious Ducati booster, just how fast did he go on those Hinkley hotshots anyway? As fast as Texas Jack? Or an old Kiwi bloke on his shed-basher Indian?
 
so how come the first Triumph Bonneville could not do 214 MPH......surely thats misleading advertising..... :D ....... my Thruxton probably would not do 200k.....fat underpowered lump it was......missing it not....
 
What is the best speed obtained by a Norton streamliner on the Great White Dyno?
A rotary [turboed to compensate for the altitude] would perhaps be a natural mill for the job.

80 % NITRO . Did advise them to see that the T Bird would stay together under the circumstances ,
and was capeable of two consecutive ' Le Mans ' ( Bol Dor ) runs on a dyno simulation .

These young people these days ! I just dont know WHAT the worlds coming to . . . :lol:
 
is that black stripe the oil left from the leaking norton streamliner?
marking it's trail back to the truck maybe?
 
'Black stripe'/?oil streaks on cowling below Norton logo? or guideline/path marked in black on salt to ensure timing lights are not missed?
