NITRO TRIUMPH Stuns Harley-Davidson Racer! 

We’re kings of the salt flats too until Leo Payne came out with the “Turnip Eater”

Back when Triumphs and ironhead Sportsters ruled, leaded gas was the thing that made em *GO* Take out that TEL and they're unhappy. But another thing is, Triumphs are light.

Triumphs were incredible motors, my Triumph 650 with one carburetor and the valve timing set on LESSER overlap even then when my friends would blast off on their Harleys and I would open it up to catch up it would get to certain RPM and the valve overlap would kick in , the clutch would start slipping all over and suddenly I was flying past them. Like hitting the Nitrous valve or something but it didn't have any.

I ride triumph to this day

I had a 63 rigid chopper that I bought as a basket-case for 500 bucks when I was in high-school. My friends dad was a bike guru and had a slew of Brit Bikes. I guess you could say he had an unrivaled love affair with British parallel twins lol! Any how he helped me rebuild the engine and sprinkled some special juju in the mix so that it made around 85hp at the rear wheel. By today's standards that doesn't seem like a whole lot, but when you have a 24" over stock girder front-end it makes for an exhilarating riding experience when grabbing a wrist-full of throttle. If you were not careful you would end up on your back in a quickness. It was pretty quick for what it was and any sudden acceleration at 60mph and under the front-end was coming off the ground which would get your heart to racing. I called it Heart Pounder because it was super sketchy once the ponies were stampeding and the front-end was up. I grew up in an MC and I had old-heads in the club that took my bike for a rip and come back shaking saying that it was the most butt-puckering experience they ever had LMAO! Most of them gave me grief over having a little 650cc powered chopper until they rode it and it took 10 years off their lives and drained them of color Lol! I should never have sold that bike but when you are young, wild, and oblivious to the collectability of something you make impulsive decisions you later kick yourself for.

BETTER BE! Many a triumph has smoked a Harley!

@@11secghia Harleys smoke and leak triumphantly.

A super nitro burning Triump, versus a Harley police barge ? No contest !

Be happy

Absolutely awsome man. I always wonder what happened to guys like you. Good to know there is still people like you out there.

I owned a 1970 triumph; back in the 80s man what a. Great bike I should have never sold it .

Didn't they break a lot of records on the salt flats

@@dalepitts6642 Yes, in fact. The reason Triumph honored Jack with the "Bonneville" model.

@@rideshareog Dad and I have made a few trips to the salt in the 70's I remember seeing their 3 red team bikes. Later owned a Grumph (500 triumph on a Greece's frame) loved that bike

Cheers mate
