Glad to hear you are doing OK Larry.

I think Team Forstall has a big enough stable to handle the sale of one record-setter  :-D

All of that horsepower for a cruiser bike is a bit questionable.  Those things have way too much power for the chassis and the riding position as they are sold by Triumph.  It is hard to hang on when over 100 mph on a cruiser bike.         

I have never had a problem hanging on at over 100. Maybe the trailer I pull changes the aero...  Ya gotta put the beer and apple pie somewhere...  :cheers:

Hmm -- just got this from Mike Akatiff:

Interesting, must have been recent. It still had Castrol on the side when I saw it at the World of Speed Museum in Oregon and still had it when the Guy Martin checked it out there as well. http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/VIDEO-Guy-Martin-look-Triumph-Rocket-streamliner/story-26876425-detail/story.html
