This was my first white triple.



My current white triple, yeah that is Limey standing in the background.



Just thought it was weird that I owned two white triples of such different origin.

Also wanted to bring back memories for a few of us "Old Timers."

Love the ring ding triples. I used to be able to tell them apart at a glance, now I don't know. Is that a 350?

It was the original one. A 1969 Mach III 500 or H1 if you prefer. Mine had been bored out .30 over Weisco pistons, chambers and sprocket changes. It was the fastest bike in Daytona. I used to make over $2k every bike week racing Harley guys red light to red light with my ring-ding and I always smoked their ass, no pun intended.

All you needed to do that is a Vespa.

They thought their hopped up Harley's, 100 cu. in. with Weber carbs hanging off the intake were the cats meow. Little did they know, I was able to shoot from 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, and back then that was freakin' fast. Too bad my brakes sucked, drum front and rear and after two stops, what brakes.

The closest bike that almost beat me was a supercharged Honda 750 punched out to 836.
