vintage wrap up

Post some specs and photos of this V2 rocket you are building so we can see
if we approve of it.:up:

 

Easy to do, picture my 400 with a Barlow RD250 motor in it.. ohh yea and a really trick set of wheels....

 

We need to know the paint scheme.

 

Think bright white with an R1 blue stripe down the tank and seat, probably a Yamaha strobe stripe down the side of the fairing.

 

Bob, you mean triumph blue , right.:up:

 

Hate to disagree with you on this one Tim being as you are my hero an'all, but Triumph blue shouldn't be seen on no two smokers! I mean - Sheesh

No offense meant to two smoker riders

 

Some call it R1 blue, some call it GSXR blue and for you Tim it is Triumph blue.... it's all good :up: (for you the only problem is that it is still a 2-stroke)

 

I really shoundnt take the bait, I know, and I may reget asking, but what fun would that be?

So I'll bite, why wouldnt I approve, got RZ wheels?

Didnt know they made the 250 in 79 still.

No disapproval w/cast wheels from me, not that you need it (approval). Phew, thought I was going out on a limb before. It does get dark in the tunnel sometimes.

Well I hope to get to VIR, Kershaw and RRR, as well as all local races, same as last three years. But two rounds a year at SP is all I have been able to manage. Wait, I did make it to Beaver this past year. One can only hope. I guess I should start by getting un-laid-off before I start making plans for next year.

Where dya get the Durranis, Bob-O?

Steven Isenhower VFR # 52 V-6

 

Proper Vingate bikes has spoked wheels. None of this ugly mag wheel stuff

My humble opinion

 

Its all good for me, spokes, mags, 2-stroke / 4-stroke, now I understand your limited perspective, Triumph is the only "vintage" bike (or should I expand it to the Queens Iron?)and spoked is the only wheel type......

While it is all good for me I personally favor the early 70's - mid to late 80's 2stroke GP machines :up:
