Pity...

Yes George; that's what I said.
It was after someone TOLD Gerry that you started ranting!

You still don't deserve to own a Triumph

Give it to me as a companion to the one I have in my shed

 

I lived in Sydney once but didn't like it. Probably because I couldn't
see the joke was on them.

Was that the bloke who complained about the ridiculous cost of pumping
water to the top of his hill?

Not quite.

As I understand it, the PC sits "over the top" of the standard engine
management system, and adds extra fuel under various conditions.

The TuneBoy allows you to actually fiddle with the mapping in the ECU,
and reload a home kitted map.

It lets you fiddle with lots of other stuff rather than just adding fuel.

Was talking to a bloke with a Rocket III, and his TuneBoy fiddles were
super sneaky, removing all sorts of limitations that Triumph had built in.

Gains from the Striple are a bit more limited, since it has less built
in limitations.

You can, for instance, re calibrate the speedo, reset the temp the fan
cuts in at, and other strange stuff.

Nomenclature, please, Cam... the Speed Triple is the Striple, the
Street Triple is the *Triplet*.

 

You actually found Seinfeld funny then? [1]

Awwww, "Triplet".... that's so cute! <betty slaps self> No, no, not cute at
all.... butch and manly and mean-sounding (otherwise somebody will get the
idea that it's a "girl's bike"...)

Referring back to something earlier in the thread, CC, where someone (you, I
think!) compared the Triplet to the Hornet and said something along the
lines of the Hornet needing encouragement to misbehave, but the Triplet
needing no encouragement whatsoever....??? something like that?)

I went on a group ride a while back, and there was a bloke on a Striple that
was soooo sexy (the bike, not the bloke). I really hoped to see the bike do
magnificent things through the twisties, but the rider was more of a nanna
than I AM and I ended up overtaking him! Based on what you were saying, CC,
he must've been working really hard fighting that bike to make it behave so
nanna-ishly.... Wow..

betty

 

I hear ya, bro...

 

You shoulda' slapped him!

 

Save your money and buy a bike instead!

 

Hey HEY HEEEY; the extra bum-squeeze was unnecessary!!

 

Well, apart from the falling-off bit <snigger>... I'm still trying to
explain to friends here how much fun the PI ride was, despite falling off.
They don't get how I could have still enjoyed the ride after dropping the
bike. No sense of adventure, obviously!

I had the time of my life on the trip to PI. The falling-off could have been
awful in different company (or if I'd been on my own) - but Clem and Leon -
great travelling companions who didn't make me feel like an idiot when I was
stuck under the bike <grin> and feeling like a total fuckwit! AND - Clem the
hose clamp wizard fixed all the important riding stuff anyway!

Hey Doug, is this of any interest?

You've left the hypen out of "anal-retentive".

HTH, HAND,


GB

 

Or perhaps * anal-retentive *

 

Define "run".

 

Almost. If I'm going the wreck route, I want a '02 or later.

If I reconditon the current donk, It's easy, but I have all the same
probs of the '98 such as fragile vacuum tubes...

If I go '02 from a wreck I get a later better setup but will likely
still have a used engine.

Ideally I get a good wreck at a price that still allows me to reco the
new motor.

I'll be keeping an eye on the auction sites.

 

Sorry, IK, I hadn't seen that name used before, but, hey.. I like it!

Betty, I like cute.

I'm the one who, by choice, painted an RZ250 fluro
PINK!, and didn't make it into a 350.

When I first got my Hornet 600, any bloke that I spoke to who were
riding one of them claimed that the Hornet was their wife's bike. ;-)

I don't care if the Triplet gets called a girlie bike.

I am amused my the likes of a mate of mine, who is rather more
vertically challenged than myself, who keeps drooling over my bike, but
declares that, of course, he'd have to get the big brother 1050 Speed
Triple.

Yup! The Hornet needed a conscious decision to go fast.

It certainly couldn't have been easy for him.

Hang on, he allowed a lady, riding a girlie bike to pass
him......obviously he just has to be a poofter.

Was it a white Triplet? The folk who ride white ones are a bit suss.

Not for you,

that would be the day when you see knobless actually run anywhere

Ever seen a hippotomus run ?
