WOW that is one nice bike. Just needs a cpl of 2 smokers in it and it would sound as good as it looks.

Sooo Dave, its obvious that you have never heard twin Trumpy motors at revs on nitro, ,, would love to hear two Trident motors at wot, on nitro, ,,,, the sound of Tom Mellows Trident at 180-90mph is pure music, pure music,

[zork]

I aint running nitro and only one triple engine but there maybe just a chance there will be two Tridents running in Feb. "Stereo"

[Stayt`ie]

A Trident (T150,T160) at revs on the street with Dunstall mufflers is a swwweeett sound, , that unfortunatly ya just dont hear anymore, ,,,

[zork]

Was checking the rev limiter here at Tailem Bend so it was only around 8000rpm with a couple to go. Pushing the push rods.

Zork has one of the sweeeetest sounding bikes around, and Murry was at Tailem Bend last time on his Trident as well, another very nice note. 9000 RPM MMMMMMMMMMM.

Its just all those valves n things those thing have.

Hey JD
That nearly sounds as good as a Trumpy twin
Cheers Mossy

[zork]

Gee shucks, thanks Dave and Mossy, and your twin does sound nice.

murray brought in a twin triumph frame with a container of parts from the US and the frame has gone to perth to a current racer and will be on the salt with bonneville twins.

arrr the memories ,,, Ross Bullock aka Hurk the Turk (am i correct ), he always wore a top hat, ,,,,

then there was Warren Affliks, ex Sonny Routts twin engine Nitro burning Triumph,, forever throwing primary chains,,,,

Back to the Gyronaut,, a cuppla months ago i was talking with Steve Ttremulis ( not sure of the relationship, Steve may be Alexs son),, Steve told me that thay were hopeing to have the liner on Bonneville next year, 2013, fully restoted and running, however he felt that the authorities wont let it make a pass as all the safety gear is as per original 1960's,,,, he also mentioned that due to the Gyronaut being there, a number of other "Old Salt Triumphs" were planning on showing up,, heres hopeing 2013 might be the year of Triumph at Bonneville,,

There were a heap of Trumpys there this year at Speedweek including Kyle Malinky's "Double Vision" twin motor...... all those Trumpy's , I was expectin' to see a slick bigger than the Exxon Valdez...
