This is as beautiful as the rocket 3 powered Vetter Hurricane. Sure, your buddy has a 150 hp Yakahonsu. But it's not a chrome frame, 320 lb, 75 hp rip snortin beast that sounds and looks like this!

    I think the bike clocked 136 at Daytona was a 750 trident powered bike,iirc correctly there were 3 discipline's in cycle racing to be crowned national champion,flat track, TT and road race.Flat track and TT used similar bikes,maybe even the same ones with different set ups,the road race bikes were pretty exotic for their era

    The alu oil tank on it is another rare part. I had one on a TT Bonnie I built that looked like Gene's bike. I've currently got something even closer to it. But mine has a flowed, center-plug head from one of the Japanese gamble racers and Amals specially made for the 'gamble bikes, 750 cylinders, balanced crank, cam, etc. and it's a freaking monster. Sounds even gnarlier than Gene's old bike does here. Mine doesn't look as pretty though.
    Aldana/Romero story (as well as I can remember it).... Romero built up his half-miler during the off season, fresh Axtell engine, custom paint, looked absolutely tits. Romero and Aldana are gazing at it in admiration and Gene says: "It's almost too perfect to race." Aldana:"Yeah, it's too perfect," picks up a ball peen hammer, klonks it onto to the tank, chipping the paint and says, "Now it's ready to go racing."

This may be my favorite bike you have next to your Kap AM CR500. I'd make everyone in the family get a second job before this one went up for sale lol Seriously, when will you ever get another chance at one of these? The bike would be in Jesus's collection.
