We have our own http://www.pro-promotions.com/pro-events/tbf it's this sunday and I'll make an appearance on the H2.

I take the triple down through this mob - right down the middle, real slow with lots of smoke, always get head-turners. When I park and when I leave, crowds gather around and I get to answer questions. I think there's only two triples for miles around Colorado Springs, in fact I think I have one of two and the other guy does not ride his or he sold it - so it/I get attention.

Anyway, this is about as big as I want to attend event - LOTS of Posers.

Small crowd gathered around my H2 at local dealer, one guy said "We were going 170 (mph) when my buddy passed us on his H2 like we were standing still."

Edit: Just found on a non-triple board: "That's the H2 Triple, one of the fastest bikes I have ever ridden. It was punched out to over 900cc's and power-wheelied in every gear."

Most people have a story to tell that are MAYBE based on a true story, but the legend gets larger with each passing year. I love it! :lol: There's a local event here every friday night that I sometimes attend and I've heard some REAL winners of a story usualy from a father to a son or a grandson about some H2s wicked, evil deed.

I see lots of black and chrome,not much else. :thumbdown: I'm glad y'all get lots of attention on yours,we have a ride in at church a couple times a year. I always ride an old bike and people never look or comment on it.They always gravitate toward the big cruiser bikes.Sucks being on the fringe of society. :)

To a lot of people (like my wife) It's an old, smoking pile. Those of us of a certain age, usually men know............... :lol:

I like being on the fringe. The cool factor is getting harder and harder to come by with the proliferation of Lemming leather. Riding with leather,tats, and chrome is like a Chinaman wearing those stylish Mao uniforms. When everyone does it,,,,it's not so unique. I think your way cool Buddy......!
