[QUOTE="Johno"] Hows the triple going? any probs / comments? [/QUOTE] [quiet sob]
If you've not already laid your money down, consider trying the Michelin Power Race med compound (I think I've got that right) they're sticky like you wouldn't believe - amazingly so - I've got about 4000K out of them including 2 track days and they still have tread left (although the edges of the tyre are a bit ragged so I'll replace them before the next track day). JL (Raptor is similar HP and heavier so I don't imagine the Striple would stress them more)
I apologise for not knowing this was an old joke. I am so sorry. I promise in future to ask "have you heard the one about..." YOU BUNCH OF ANAL RETENTIVE FUCKWITS !!! Onya bike... Gerry
Sheesh Gerry; take a chill pill. We were just letting you know (as well as musing about the origin and implausibility of the tale). If it wasn't for George being a typical argumentative fuckhead this thread would be discussing cow-anuses, tall bridges, or Betty's toes by now!
Thanks for the comment, John, but too late. The Bridgies are already on the bike, and have had 12 kms. use, from Granville to home. The replaced Qualifiers did actually have tread left on them, but, they too, were decidedly ragged around the edges, and were starting to get interesting, just going up and down the Old Road. Still over seven and a half thousand Kms wasn't bad. This set of tyres aren't really intended to do track days, but rather just cruising road use. Craig did offer BT002s, but I didn't want to go that soft and extreme. regards, CrazyCam
....and me sitting on it doesn't help either, but still, I fart in your general direction. regards, CrazyCam
jesus fucking christ knobless, get your facts right before you go off at the mouth read the whole thread first and then you will see who ranted at Gerry for posting something they claimed to have seen 20 years ago I replied to those rants as I am replying to yours You have been sitting in your lounge chair too long and have withdrawal symptoms go outside and fix your fucking bike If not, then you don't deserve to own a Triumph
I find jokes funny. This is never presented as a joke. This story, and stories usually presented by religious nuts to make some obscure point, is presented as an actual factual happening, meant ot be believed as an actual event. This is my objection to it. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I don't think it's a joke. Beer? Theo
In the non-humour-impaired universe, telling an absurd story with a straight face is a fairly common sort of joke. I guess you're not from around these parts. Moike
Did you hear the one about the wannabe global warming genius, Nike and carbon footprints? Onya bike... Gerry
