THIS WEEK I HAVE MAINLY BEEN.....

 LOOKING AT MODELS AND KITS OF TRIUMPH MACHINES, REVELL SEEM TO HAVE DONE A GOOD LINE

I PARTICULARLY LIKE THIS ONE

Nice Triumph drag bike by Jack Logan
                                              Jack Logan is credited with this model, nice one mate

Ratrod posted his on the Model Cars Mag forum
TWO MODELER'S VERSIONS. JUST LIKE THE REAL THING  START WITH THE SAME  AND LET THE  IMAGINATION FLOW


                      AND THEN I THOUGHT WHAT MIGHT BE THE INSPIRATION?

ignore the girders it's close
Both  Nostalgia on Wheels & Show & Go have featured Mickey Hall's bike
Both great sources of information on all sorts of bike related stuff! 

 Not quite but close

SEEK AND THY SHALL FIND 


in this case  on the Jockey Journal ,an apparently bottomless source of knowledge and information!
Boots Bleechler's  ( great name!!) late 50's low 10's 126.37mph triumph the inspiration for the kit
