We used to share kwaka zrx 1100 a good bike, but my true love was my 1965 Velocette Venom Thruxton 500cc single pot ( google it and behold)

Very nice indeed. A work of art.
I've only owned rice burners, w/ a preference for Kawasakis, the Blackbird is certainly a sweet ride also though.

Herk I cant do the picture thing very well, so try to find a Triton a Norton featherbed frame with a triumph Bonny engine.I made the engine mounts myself for mine, or another hybrid I built a Tricati a 250cc ducati frame with a 500cc triumph engine.

The Venom was a kick start, 500cc one pot you needed a good leg and valve lifter otherwise you were in orbit, also the miller electrics were a bastard, the picture has brought it all back thank you!

I love Ducatis, but out of my budget. A Ferrari on 2 wheels.

I think this is the Triton you are referring to.

Here's a pic of me playing Jazz in the Lounge at Titan's Stadium. That's Nashville in the background, of course.

I'm the guitarist sitting in front of the red amp.

Not so young, mid-40's.

You've aged better than I have.

I'm 43, but when out and about, been told I look late 40's.

It's the gut.
