Wow!  That's one I have not seen.  Talk about your transformers.  If it does not bring a smile ;) to your lips-you must be dead.

My uncle had an 850. Pretty stout motor in it.
They stuck my 14 year old, 130lb dumb as a box of rox butt on it
to see what kind of top speed it had.

Chin on the tank, eyes watering, helmet almost pulling off my head
for a indicated 140mph!  Of course the needle was wavering around a bunch and my eyes were watering so bad, who really knows what it was ! LOL

My cousin had a 750 Commando that would pull 73 mph in second gear. I never did top that one out.

Jake, You are welcome to do that to the Triumph. If you do we'll forget all about Bonneville. But I think you should transform one of your Huskys in to a Swedish accented female transformer version.

Jake, Paul Danik and I think that you should transform the CZ Jawa on the roof of your building into a  bubuska wearing Czech grandma. However it has come to my attention that you don't have clear title of ownership. I believe that it is still registered to someone in Meadville. Can you climb up on the roof and confirm the VIN??
