Spencer's Triumph update/madness!!!!

Spencer has been down with the Triumph forever, and has poured so much of his heart and soul into it. The time had come for glory!!!! He's been all over this build, and has had some great wizard help from Steve Hamel. This Triumph is going to be a diamond in the ruff time that he's had with it.
Almost finished, already famous!

searching for starter ghost





Pulled out this starter to see what was making the slipping / grinding noise. Everything was taken apart and looked at carefully, but nothing sketchy was found. All the the starters teeth were fine, a.k.a no cavities found, onto the solenoid for testing. I'm going in blind any help is good help.

Merry Christmas 2011












Today it was 42 degrees outside on Christmas, my birthday too, and I got the bike out for a bit. Ice and snow still in spots, so watch out. Took some shots of St. Paul MN and then headed up to smokeshop to meet some friends.. look at this Opus X and scotch.. HOLY... Best Christmas in MN ever..!!! Then I got home to a hand carved pipe..today was a good day.
