Peer pressure

[Gubb]

You lot are all bastards.

Last night I paid for a shiny new Street Triple in White. Pick it up from Napier next weekend. Not sure how i'm gonna sleep for the next 7 days.

How does one go about finding more info about RAT?

:clap:

Seeing as you're a fellow shorian it'd be rude of you to refuse me a wee pootle on said bike :scooter:

(and would let you try my '08 600rr in return)

[nodrog]

[nosebleed]

[Devil]

You should get a free years membership to RAT with the purchase of a new Triumph. Should get all the info when you get the bike.

[Tank]

Awesome news Gubb - a beautiful bike to be sure!

Cannot wait to see it.

[Dooly]

Was in Procycles today, your bike is in pride of place in front of the counter with SOLD on it!
Nice.

Here the Wellington one. They might know. The triumph site sucks.

[Chisanga]

If you bought your bike from AMPS - Patrick will give you a membership form for RAT when you pick the bike up

[RantyDave]

Hehehehe. Well done man, welcome to the club. Take it gently on those nice shiny tyres.

You should get RAT paperwork when you get the bike.

Kewl :niceone: Enjoy

[Headbanger]

Very cool.

[musicman]

Pick it up from Napier next weekend.:clap:

Oooooh nice! I got my Raptor in Hastings, caught the bus down there and rode it back it! Even SH1 was quite fun being on a big bike for the first time!

[short-circuit]

Not sure how i'm gonna sleep for the next 7 days.

I haven't slept since I bought the damn thing six months ago - lying awake thinking about mounting her the next day or what the next mod's gonna be.

Welcome to the obsession :laugh:

[Mom]

Way to go Gubb! They are a verrrrry nice bike indeed. Make sure to come up this way and show it off, I dont think I have seen them in white.

[McJim]

Peer pressure? Bah!

They said "Buy a Jappa" I bought an Italian.
They said "Go liquid cooled" I bought air cooled
They said "Get a litre bike" I got a 600
They said "you need at least 100hp" I got 53
They said "go fuel injected" I got carburettas
They said "Get 4 valves per cylinder" I got 2 valves per cylinder (albeit huge big Desmodromic ones though!)

So do I wish I had got a Suzuki? Naaaaaaah.

Enjoy yer new bike :2thunbsup:

[Gubb]

Cheers guys.

I've been trying not to think about it just yet because I won't get anything done for the next week. This week's gonna be hell.

You should get a free years membership to RAT with the purchase of a new Triumph.RAT membership has been free for all bikes for a while now. If you aren't a member, just go to the Triumph NZ site and click through RAT to the membership form (down for maintenance right now). You will need the VIN of your bike.

Haha. Imagine a Track Day and 1/4 mile sprints in the first 1000km just to get it ready!

I fucked the last one. This one needs to last a looooong time yet!

I fucked the last one. This one needs to last a looooong time yet!Sprints might be a bit over the top lol but was watching a couple of streets at the track on sat ! Were doing no more than runnin in speeds in group 3 and 4

Don't nana it tho or you'll do worse damage. Bogging is the WORST thing you can do to a new engine.

Don't cane her with full throttle but don't be scared to use the whole RPM range. Build up to it over the first 100-200km (or follow the manual if it's very specific). Think of it like scrubbing tyres. You don't go to full lean straight away but you want to work up to it.

Make sure you use all the gears and don't stick at any one RPM too long. If you're on straights etc either speed up and slow down a lot or drop into 5th then 4th then 5th then 6th etc.

WTF is RAT?

oh and congrats Gubb!

[Usarka]

It's a rodent but that's not important right now.


He's referring to Riders Association of Triumph or something along those lines.

You are gonna watch me for a looooong time matey.

Just remember now, bro, your bike has TWO wheels, and not ONE. With the Stripler it will no doubt be easy to forget that.

:scooter:

[short-circuit]

How long now Gubb? Has the suspense killed you or are you riding around hallucinating due to sleep deprivation?

[chester]

Gubb is lucky, I have to wait for a month for my triple.....:shit:

Both you and Gubb are lucky. I have to wait an indeterminate amount of time for mine.... Boss (she who must be obeyed) says money must be spent on house and other necessities....

[Clivoris]

Shit hot news man. I turned down a test ride on one cos I can't afford to be tempted. I have heard nothing but good things about them. You have some good times ahead no doubt.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Gubb won't reply... He's too busy getin his bike home, on a trailler lol !

[Gubb]

I might start up a small thread about the 016's once I've had a few proper hours of hooning around!
