Here's my grandpa's old BSA Rocket 3. It was an 1175 stroker and ran high 9's low 10's back in the day. My grandpa was good friends with Jack wilson of Big D triumph and helped with the development of a lot of the technology used in the Triumph and BSA back then. THe bike weighs a hair under 300 lbs.

while 77 isn't exactly vintage, here's an RD400 I built and consequently seized.

That was my dad sitting on it. We just got it back last year. My grandpa sold it back in the early 80's and the guy that bought it from him blew it up and it sat in his shop. We're working on getting it going, but money is tight these days. Plus my dad has an 09 zx14 that he's trying to get into the 8's with lol. He went 9.16 on it on not that great 60's last year. now that he finally got a good pipe and map and is pulling low 1.4's he should get his 8 this year and hopefully start working on the bsa instead lol. He said that back in the day when he was 118 lbs riding an 1197E the bsa with my grandpa who weighed 175 lbs used to beat him by half the track with my grandpa turned around backwards waving at him lol. Jack wilson used to call them the "East Texas Mafia".
