A bloke by the name of Les Bowen in Colac Victoria is a real guru when it comes to the Trumpy motors. His bikes are rockets and ultra reliable. I wouldn't be suprised if it was Les who built Verns motor. I think they know each other very well from their younger days.

I think the blokes name is Peter ???? from Brisbane who built Verns. Vernon recommended I get him to do mine but I lost the details.

I know, I'm going a bit overboard but I'm enjoying posting these Triumph powered beasties. I'm a bit taken with this Trackmaster framed 650, especially seeing that I've already got 99% of the parts to build it sitting in my shed ;D........That's not to say I'm going to build something like it anytime soon, I've got enough projects on the hop right now.
