[Fot] Never be beaten by equipment

[Tony and Annie Garmey]

...as a side note< I should give credit to My father n law "gene" for
designing or coming up with the cooling system mods. Gene is a retiried engine
builder (sprint car/midget/hotrod) and also "his"bikes owned the 1 mile flat
track world records in the late 60's and 70's when he worked for BSA and
Triumph . Now, If anyone wishes to have the cooling system mods done , contact
me off list and we'll work something out.  Tony Garmeywww.horizonracing.com
