        The tillers were called the widowmaker.
        90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

          TLRs and TLSs in the late 90s.

          Or do you mean the Kawasaki triples? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_triple

                  Yes the Kawasaki 750 H2 tirple

                  [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qROwMqCLAw"]‪Kawasaki H2 750 dragbike‬‏ - YouTube[/ame]

                  I've always loved the 2 stroke bikes, I had a really nice 1970 Suzuki GT500Titan that I had gotton in non running condition, and the last time it was licensed titled, and registered was 1979, someone had stolen the bike out of cook county ILL. and took it for a joy ride and dumped it in a revine.

                  The title I had gotton with it was funky I had never seen a title like it before, it had the Cook County Courthouse in the background on the title paper.

                  Sold it to a guy that lived in Sweden

                  Then I also had a 1974 Yamaha 350RD 2 stroke street bike, it was a good runner, it soon started developing seal problems which was making it hard to keep running.

                  Sold it to a guy that collected them in England he had 19 of them already

                  That TLR does look like a really quick bike tho, pretty nice

                          I got to ride one of those once. It lived up to its nickname.

                              Yeah I owned one for about 2 weeks.. I like riding in the woods... . which this was not good for.. the handling and suspension was horriffic... the only thing it was good for was going across a field in a straight line
