Agreed James remember seeing that triple engined bike a while back and I am sure someone will correct me but I think I remember he cut it down to 2 engines cos it went better.May be wrong.
Like all a loss.Cheers

Yeah think he had a big crash on the '3', believe it's being restored somewhere at the moment.

Didn't stop him going on to build a sohc 2.0L V8 - think he did a 6 sec 1/4 mile at 199 mph on that. Not a bad effort :-)
