Lost cause? I hope not.

Just about now my friend John Young is on his way to Heathrow airport to drop hisIBR bike at the shippers, it will next to be seen in Seattle.

What's so special is that he has chosen a 1969 Triumph Trident

Over the last six months most of his spare time has been spent in the garage, as of last Monday this is the amount of work he has carried out. I just hope it has not all been in vain.

I wish him well.. Hopeless class can be painfull.

WAY cool bike, I hope he makes it. Period correct fairing and bags too. I had one and loved it, including the ever present clatter (ticking?) from the valve adjusters. Wished he had enough time for a repaint.

Maybe somebody will eventually show up with a Pre-K Honda 750 for competition?

Running in the hopeless class? His spirit is admirable. Now one just has to see if the machine can last the challenge.

Looking forward to seeing the bike at the start. Way cool!

Yikes! I wish him the best of luck. He's going to need it.

Crazy fool - but I admire his spirit.

Looking forward to seeing the bike at the start.

I am, too... with some trepidation for John.

This is going to be quite the adventure for him, without a doubt!

 

[Good2Go]

I've been following his build up as well...remarkable perseverance, hope he and the bike make it to the finish line!

You never know unless you try..

maybe I should dust off my /2 Beemer?

 

[Panman]

Wishing him the best, the triples weren't to bad of a machine really. If he got rid of the stock ignition he may do OK. As I still have a Trident I'll be pulling for him.

I'm going to out there to see one of our guys off. June 20th I'll see if I can get some pictures of these guys and all their bikes and post up come the 20th.

I am looking forward to seeing it at the finish........
