yepper its mine;.. ask holic.. he still has his too.. i bought it locally from a guy down here.. just some sniffing around and found it.. it will be ran a few times till next fall, then a frame off like matt's, then off to storage to "age".. matt graciously said he will pass on his contacts and such.. fyi i thk all of the triple clamps are the "bronze".. they made alot of different colors of frames, forks, but everything else is pretty much the same!

My Tiger is set up a little differently than from what I've seen from Holic, Skip, and sfynks. Other than being red, white, and blue (truly patriotic!), the major differences is that my radiator is fork mounted and the front tire is really big. It's similiar to the picture below. I'd post some pictures of it but I haven't got my hands on a digital camera yet.

That pic that halen shows is a proto-type that ralph over at quad-pit.com raced back in the day. Go to his site and he has a little caption about it. wouldn't that be wild if it was actually the same trike!
