My buddy Mike was pulling apart his brothers Triumph motor and found this action inside. That's right folks, turns out it was a George Helm built motor! Pretty cool to see this since George passed away a couple of years ago and was a legend around these parts for his knowledge with British bikes. Too bad for me that even though we share the same last name there is no apparent relation. I only had a chance to meet George a couple of times before he passed and it was certainly an honor to be around a guy so full of history. It's also too bad for me that Mike's going to be using these pistons again so I don't get a nice set of oversize BSA wall hangers. Dang 'ol shoot.
