FWIW

hacksaw
This post was updated on .


20 years ago . My kid here now has a masters in accounting.
What a life we have shared. She played softball for years . NCAA first team D2 3rd baseman
She played a couple years of highschool football and trained with pro boxers for a time.
She still plays for my Fastpitch 23u team.
All though she may be done.  Hoping to squeeze her for one more year .
For someone whom no longer plays regularly she still is pretty good .not nearly whst she was. But good enuff still to be a true contributing force on the team .

 How do you say ?
She graduated cumlauda? and was commencement speaker actually graduating with  class  ahead of hers.
She is getting married next year. So snywzy …
You look at your kid when little . Who knows ?  

The bike I had set up pretty good. I don’t remember      why I sold it.  I do know at the time there was few used ones on the market back then . The buyer was a kid from Maryland.
Later he sent me a picture of how he clapped it out with orange fairing and other stuff . He was so proud of tgst bike ! I didn’t care for it. lol

Congrats on raising her.
Seems you did a good job.  👍

I remember when you had that bike, that pic has been up before.  Good shot.

Not a lot of white Triumphs out there.

Good job Keith. You raised a one of a kind. The world will always need people like her.

I’ve always lusted after the creamsicle triumph. Probably the best color combo. Next to that is the British racing green.
Your red and white one is a great color combo as well.
It will be the beauty queen in my garage.

You meet some of the best folks behind bars.

I guess it depends on what your softball schedule is.
I can’t do this weekend.
Let me know what Saturday’s you are available. Text it to me if you would prefer.

My plan is to leave Friday morning around 8.
It’s about 17 hour drive so I’ll probably stop somewhere on the east side of Pennsylvania for a hotel stop and finish off the last four to five hours to you getting to your place around noon or so if that works for you.

It will be the bride and I so it’s a little harder do a straight through drive like I did last time with my pop as a driver. She won’t make a run like that without a shower.

I’m supposed to get hooked back up to the machine Sunday night so I’ll have to load and go.

This be it


I prefer the chrome and black motor over all black motor.
I also like the red fenders on Keith’s bike over the black fenders and with the red being on the low side it flows better in my opinion.

Sweet.  

It does make the bike look a bit more like the older Triumphs.

That chrome side cover on the transmission almost makes it appear like is…. I dunno….. what are the 2 types of engine/transmission setups called.  Unitary and, what’s the other word that denotes motor and transmission are separate?

Pre unit construction is what I’m familiar with.
