Love looking at your old photos! You had a real cool Dad. I've got a friend who races Vintage Triumphs very competitively. I went to Barber Raceway last October for the Vintage weekend an hung out in the pits with his race team. Great place Barber is. I own a 73 T-140 myself that I'm working on.
On another subject your Venture is amazing! I like everything you've done to it. I owned an 86 for a long time and a good friend of mine had 3, and went coast to coast plus some on one, one summer..... so I'm very familiar with them.
Is there somewhere I could see more photos of the Venture? Do you have a photobucket folder or somewhere else I could look?
