My Trident is a 73 T150V (three upright cylinders). I kinda find pre unit Bonnies a wee bit slow and possibly unreliable plus I think unit Bonnies just look plain wrong in a featherbed. They just don't fill the frame. Trident engine ticks all the boxes for me.
At the 1980 Bol D'or at Paul Ricard I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of "Slippery Sam" not long after he had retired it,I saw it again at the National Museum before the fire.
At that same Bol there was a proto Harley in the race with Dave Aldana as pilot.
Happy Days.
BTW. Hi folks, got the link from IFI as well.
