Nice Header pic, Moo, any story to that bike, or just a random pic? Tank / seat looks a bit '60's Honda, but the rest doesn't!!

POWERPLANT:

Three cylinders with Wiseco High Comp Pistons, expanded chambers and ports.
Mikuni 28mm carburetors
Electrex electronic ignition
Valtoron custom exhaust pipes
K&N filter
Valtoron ignition cover

I like the look and the effort that went into it, but "Expanded chambers and ports"? I doubt if much porting was done if it's still using stock carbs and small K&N filters. So where did the 70 hp claim come from? (inside joke: I did 70 in the 1/4 mile, so it must have made 70 hp.)

A google search shows Valtoron as a Motorcycle company from Spain... I think it's all in the translation Jim.
Cool bike!
