I can only handle five or six woman at a time and it's the about the same for forums . . . LOL!

Beautiful bike and she's a resilient woman that's for sure. Maybe this was addressed @ Neds, but with that seat set up isn't she going to tire very quickly just hanging on with one arm? I would think she'd need some type of back rest.

LOL, I PM'd her about that exact same thing....She is going to need a back stop...or will slide right off! Especailly with that big inch engine!

Here is her custom bitchbar, with her missing had flippin the bird! BTW, it is called Chumpchange, because that is what she got for her arm,,Less than 20 grand, from an off duty cop, that ran a redlight!>:(

I hear guys saying "pre-unit" a lot when talking about tumpets, and I just nod my head because I always pretend I know it all, LOL! But just what the hell does "pre-unit" mean?

Does it refer to certain years or motor changes?

NickD :)



Triumph, Much like Harley, used to have a "motor" and "Trannie" , Seperate , only in the early 60's did they connect them, (much like the K model flathead went to a conjoined engine/trannis case) there by making the "unit" construction motor..

Back in the 60's it was common to see Harley 45 flatheads set up with Triumph pre unit trannis, because triumph trannies had a better gear ratio!

the Imfamous "Dubble Trubble" triumph, was a great example of what can be done, when the motor and trannie are not one piece...simply add another motor...More power
