Donny is my neighbor and I can say without a doubt he is a fine man and very modest and fortunately will be inducted in the Hall of Fame shortly.

The pipe got dented when I took it to Mid Ohio when Triumph was the mark. The front of the tank is held on by wire ties and it has pieces of fiber reinforced hose around the frame. Same way Castro had it then.

Sorry to say it is a filthy picture. When I posted it at first, it was a lot cleaner.
