Thanks for the memories! I had the privilege of seeing the Triumph/BSA factory Triples racing when I lived in the UK. The sound of them warming up in the pits with their single long unrestricted megaphone - raised the hairs on the back of my neck. Arguably the best sounding race bike ever or a tie with the Honda 250 6 cylinder.
Keep up the great posts!
Best regards,
