Wow, that's soem detailed reply. I knew about your working with Jojje before this thread, but you also sure put a lot of innovation throughout the rest of the bike.
I can see why the Metric TV crew wants to handle all the PR from their gig. I'll make sure I check on their site once in awhile to see when the show will be aired.

You guys are fortunate to have realized the beauty of these bikes but you shouldn't keep it to yourselves. :-)
I know you're just jokin', but it's a running gag around here. When we pull into gas stations and such, somebody is always coming up to us and asking what we call "the usual questions"..."Triumph? Who makes those?", or "You did a good job restoring that Triumph, what year is it?" So you end up spending 10 minutes answering other questions about engine size and whatnot. I think us owners of these bikes do a better job selling them than the dealerships.
So have you planned out what you're doing with the motor in that Bootleg frame? I'm hoping you'll take it to it's normally aspirated limits. Wiseco makes a stroker kit now that'll bump up the displacement to 988cc, but we haven't seen anyone around here take the plunge. I think it'd be cool to see just how much power a stroker kit can produce...probably close to 100hp. Anyways, I'm looking forward to your next project, no matter which route you take.
