Nubian---I specialise in Triumphs.Mainly because I have been to
the Triumph factory school.I got an A in mechanics&I went another
week and took advanced mechanics.I got an A+ in that.I got the
highest marks in the school and won all kinds of awards&tools.
The biggest victory to me was in personal satisfaction.I work on
Harleys.I rebuilt my buddies 39'Knucklehead a few years ago.I
have had enough Harleys arart that I don't want to own one for
myself.They look&sound nice but are built with HUGE tolerances
inside.I have done alot of Nortons&BSAs.I prefer 4stroke engines.
They have more torque then 2strokes.They last much longer and
don't rely on rpm!Give me a manual and I'll rebuild anything as
long as I take it apart. Irish
PS.I can do a "Triumph"in my sleep!That's mainly what I raced.
With 42+yrs. of riding &those marks-I have a fair idea what I'm
doing.
