From Stephen Bacon in the USA.
'I was at the Barbara Fritchie Classic (oldest continually running half-mile in the US I think - this was the 87th running) earlier this month. Sorry the "action shot" is a tad blurry - man he seemed a lot closer when I hit the button - they were movin'. I had a couple others but either I timed it wrong, way out of focus, etc. Oh well.
The Triumph did pretty well and was probably the oldest bike out there. The SV650 was pretty interesting - custom frame and no airbox / reworked throttle bodies, etc. The owner said it actually made too much power and spun up too much so he was selling it.
Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.' Stephen
TOO MUCH POWER !!!!! SO HE'S GETTIN RID..... what's all that about then ????
ReplyDeleteI was bummed to miss the BFC this year; it conflicted with MotoGP @ Laguna Seca. Not a problem next year though!
ReplyDeleteI have some photos and a Q&A with #50S Billy Worthington over on the Triumph Flat Track blog. He talks about the Triumph and how he came to be on it at the Barbara Fritchie Classic.
