Hey ROCKETNM!!!

Forgive us for flinging a little poo in Harley's direction. When you are that big you are bound to catch a little.

You are right.... there are many great people in the world of Harley Motorcycling... I know a few myself... and I've owned and worked on a lot of Harley stuff in the past....

That Triumph Racer is an antique.... A T140 motor is probably an old Bonnie Motor from the early 70's. A Nourish crank is a special handbuilt unit... high dollar stuff. And if I remember right Hilborn fuel injection is an upside down flat slide carb that has no float bowl or float and the gas flows by gravity to the upsidedown needle controlled by the upsidedown carb slide. It basically drains gas in a somewhat controlled fashion into the intakes. The Hilborn is a story in itself... someone find something on this and post it :-D

That is a neat bike. It has the old Meridian Triumph Logo on it. We are now on our second new Hinkley logo.. bet ya didn't know that.....

Tomo
