I'm happy to see they are being well cared for and in good company.

It is great to see ALTAs that have found a good home. What happened to the #30 FT bike?

Love the flat tracker! I recognize the wheels but what front end and trees are on that bike?

That's @Tuner secret sauce right there...

Flat tracker. No brakes. Cool.

The #30 bike ridden by Alan Birtwhistle was simply a lowered Alta MXR with a 19" front wheel. Said bike was returned to MX duty.

GPS variable offset triple clamps and early KTM Duke, non leading axle forks.

I've purchased more than a couple things from Mr. Birtwhistle...so some of that legacy will live on in multiple bikes.
