Flatiron Mike
Took a nice ride with Flatiron Mike and a few new friends up to Pepe’s Pizza this past Sunday. Temps werent too bad – it was in the 40’s. We met up close to home and within 20min of highway time, a nice little Triumph that was with us – blew up, it’s bottom end grenaded. Sad to see, but I later learned that the owner had rebuilt the top end of this mid 70’s engine.
Well, if you rebuild the top end of an older brit bike, you can be sure what will fail not too long thereafter -yep – the lower end – big bummer, a big mess and a puddle of earl. i think it will be a pricey fix. Keeping up with the big boys can be a tough game if you don/t bring the right size gun to the party….
After the Brit bike man had himself squared away with a tow, we soldiered on, ate pizza had some fun, told some lies and called it a good day. It was nice to get out, away from the computer and shop for awhile.
