WoWee!
That IS a nice Triumph, Mike!
In the old days, there was nothing that handled like a Triumph. Well, except a Norton!
The Japanese builders just beat the stuffing out of almost everyone!
I can't believe Ducati is still in business! But they STILL have a devoted following.
1.6 litres! Wow! That's big!
Only one I ever had that big was a VW trike... 100mph wheelies, 160mph top... scary!
I just don't like belt drives.
If I can't have a chain, actually shaft is best. There's just no fuss with it.
I was a test rider for the factory before HD released their Sturgis belt drive model, years ago.
Just a job. No glory. Our nut was 300+ miles per 8 hour shift @ $7.50/hr.
They were lumbering beasts.
We had two full boat dressers w saddle bags and windshields, and two Low Riders.
Classic model was good for 85mph, Lowriders good for 107-109mph.
My old dog of a chopper would smoke 'em!
Tell me, does Triumph still run with the Prince of Darkness?
