I saw that bike on the grid but never got close either! I remember Greg Hansford riding a Twingle and he was fairly big Personally I took the Eric Buell fix for my BigHorn Road racer, I put in a TZ 250D Engine in it and ran Air COoled Primary Gears and Mac Kannabyoshie (how ever you spell his name) Pipes. It weighed in at 220 pounds (Used Kosman Wheels with Barnes Hubs and Knock off gears and rear brake disc and the Frame weighed 25 pounds and the swingarm was 8! I finished 4th in the country in the AMA Amatures and that is the Bike I sat on the Pole for the Daytona lightweight amature race! (Part of my "Made History at Daytona" Signature)
Of course I was "Only" about 185 to 190 lbs then! and at the "young: (  ) age of 35, I was fairly fearless also!

Made History @ Daytona and still one fast old man!!

Lived at least 2 or 3 people's lives "Back in the Day"! Remember, I rode bikes because I was too dangerous in a car! My last fast car was a 1959 MG-a Roadster! What made this car dangerous, a 327 Chevy with 2 4's and a close ratio 3 speed! (And me behind the wheel!
