Chuck,
Many of us in the FOT have met our Brit counterparts, some are on the list if
I recall. Your best bet is to get onto The Triumph Sports Six club message
board and start asking the racers on there.
(http://www.tssc.org.uk/messageboard.asp). Be warned, they have a different
mindset on contact than the Yanks.
