I ran across a story on the RealClassics UK site about the Beezumph 12 rallye – a gathering of BSA and Triumph Triple bikes from the mid-70s. http:\/\/www.realclassic.co.uk\/rides03071500.html<\/a> ln the article they mentioned the fun that was had, how many of the bikes gathered for the event, and how they were luck to host the bike’s designer, Craig Vetter!\n<\/p>\n

\nCraig Vetter – an American legend – I knew him as the wizard that redesigned the BSA\/Triumph 750 Triple into the X75 Hurricane for the American market. And what a gorgeous design! Styling that was years ahead of its time, all I could do was dream about one when they were new in ’72-’73 … After that success he went on and created another legend with the Vetter Windjammer Fairings …\n<\/p>\n

\nNow, he’s got a website at http:\/\/www.craigvetter.com\/<\/a> I’ve always loved the style of the Hurricane – so when I saw he had a T shirt of the bike … I just had to have one!
\n\"\"
\nI got a white t-shirt – and I’m sorry the image here doesn’t do the shirt justice, but it IS a gorgeous image of the bike! He’ll even autograph it if you ask nicely!\n<\/p>\n

\nWhile ordering the shirt, I wound up having some conversations with Connie Vetter, and she is just the sweetest thing – very pleasant to deal with …honest – – go buy a shirt or photos or something from them – RIGHT NOW! (smile) … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
