You guys are gonna LOVE this video. The 1971 Daytona 200 pitted the BSA Rocket 3 against the virtually identical Triumph Trident. Great shots of Mike Hailwood, *****Mann, Don Emde, Gary Nixon, Paul Smart and others.

Seriously, take a few minutes to watch this.

Good video. Interesting music. I don't think the bass guitarist had his coffee, or whatever he enjoyed, that day.
