Sigh, one of MY fav bikes I owned was a '67 650 Triumph.
It was single carb TIger. . . . but I converted it to dual carbs . . . . sadly, I burnt the engine up on a trip from San Mateo to a gal pal's place in SLO at Cal Poly ('72?) and back . . . me and my buddy who went with me had to push it home the last two miles on 101 just one exit and a few blocks from our homes.
I sure miss that Brit sound . . . wish I had bought an 850 Norton back then . . . sigh.
