The greatest Triumph and rider of all time?


It's been an incredible year for Alp Turgekin. Sadly no Bonneville for the second year but he achieved incredible things at El Mirage. Cementing in my opinion his position as one of the greatest. Not only as a Triumph builder and engine tuner but given the records he has achieved of any motorcycle.

I like this- a neat piece of drag racing history







Coming up for auction at the 10th Annual

A competition bike with real history. 
It was built by Gordon Stewart in Miami

It won the Florida Drag Racing Championship in the day and was raced by the present owner for 9 years and put away.
