Henry, Sam, Allen, and Skid, your a breath of fresh air to those of us brought up in the era of Fizzies. Ram air. Kettles. and Z1's, brings back lots of memories, and all hail the Millyard. (awesome).
ps; if ever you need a test pilot for a C50 I'm your man.

I owned and raced this bike in the early 1980s. Bought it of the guy who designed and built it - Norman Ashwood from Kidderminster - for £200. I later sold it on to Richard Evans in Bromsgrove, who raced it for another couple of seasons.
I did send Henry Cole an email detailing as much history as I had on the bike, but he never replied.

Always nice to see your old Triumph in motion Henry no matter what speed it does or doesnt do the bikes History and credentials speak for themselves.

Sam and Henry converted an old ambulance into a "team bus" (I think it was a camper van when they got it)
Took the Quarter Master with them for another run.
Sam beat Henry's record then Henry absolutely blitzed it
All for the sakes of the team bus with spanners on site

Wow, now that's fun! I have to say, I was surprised at the numbers. Always having been a fan of Burt Munro since Donaldson's film (and docu), seeing half of his speeds on a supercharged 500cc nitro bike was unexpected. Granted, Burt's work was extensive, and no doubt he was in another class, especially for displacement, but I recall hitting 115 MPH (clocked on a Corvette), not topped out, on my '77 XS650 Yamaha, essentially a 60's British twin, bone stock, only a bit larger and on pump regular with my chest in the wind. I know I'm missing something, as this was a record speed for it's class.
