The forum hasn´t died but my father did and I have been so busy sorting out all the stuff he kept with no system at all plus I´ve had to come back to UK to sort out things here as well. Plus I forgot the password.
I´ve not read many posts yet but gold plated helmets with a head up display could be the future? I shant be riding on the road again so most of the old helmets I put on Autojumble are still availiable and I´ve scrapped my colours and the neighbours who all rushed to my assistance to help clear the house out went away with a flea in their ear when they suggested I should scrap our 50 year old riding coats and Belstaffs. Even suggested I could scrap all the trophies. I´ve been storing all this valuable classic material for 40 years so there´s no rush to sell it.
I see no reason to leave the forum and will put my 2 pennorth in when I feel it may help. Did that yank ever finish his Triumph hog?
I´ve tried to put 3 photos on but they probably won´t print, one is the last photo taken of father advising the president of Denia motor Club about the mag for his 1929 500 norton.
the recession and lack of sponsors caused the cancellation of this years Denia rally and raclng display after 20 years. Google in Denia Classic racing.

Maybe it has just gone out for a breather, or a fag.
-
what triumph hog ? sounds interesting
-
Hello Mark
The yank wasn´t actually building a hog, he was paying other people to do it for him from parts they bought and bolted together.
-
In fairness, a hog (Harley Owners Group) cannot be a triumph... my Triumph is called Hog Slayer in reverence to a dragster of that name
-
That just shows how interesting I found it .
