It'd be the same donkey anyway. Could be a 69 500 or a 70. The OP claims it's the 70 TT. I wouldn't know!

Edit. Good call. :thumbup:

I think this thread confirms it:

https://forum.kawasakitriplesclub.com/v ... hp?t=20461

A lad I vaguely knew in Stafford had one of the very first Mach 3 triples. He was doing standing starts in a residential road near me. It wa actually quite scary just watching. For an 18 y. o. the sound and fury was overwhelming.

Malc knows a thing or six about triples and a fine chap to boot. :thumbup:

Heading like buggery for the first bend knowing full well you have crap brakes and rubbish ground clearance too. Nervous times for number 38. :lol:

Couldn't quite decide where to put this but thought here was the most appropriate ( it's a moving pic :D ;) )

Anyone who has been to Portimao and seen how long that front straight is and how many climbs there are will realise just how awesome 2 mins flat around there on a 1990s 50-odd hp shopping bike on road tyres really is 8-) 8-)
