All your Shakespearos.

They could always give it some awesomeness by putting a Triumph badge on it

For sure,that would work.Badges are everything to many,look at all the numbnuts that race out and buy the latest n greatest 1000cc sportsbikes,most of them never see a track nor are ever ridden anywhere near there limits,no matter for many just to be seen on such a thing is enough and on the occasions they are passed through the good bits by someone on a 3 year old 600 are easily forgotten if not witnessed by anyone.

And what a lack of front suspension is what kiwi shit? Using a 30 year old engine to race current tech makes you crazy?

...???

What..???

just to put it into perspective, sometimes one persons idea may be a bit left-field of norm. Doesn't make it worse.

Us kiwi's are great at pulling it off, however so are the Americans. Bashing them for it, is like shooting us in the foot too.

What has no front suspension?If I decipher your incoherence correctly.

[Big Dave]

Would nae matter if it was a springer or girder forks or had no front brakes.
It's a demonstration piece of what is possible and it has attracted Global attention for the brand - on an equally huge spend. Nice job. The wooden seat helped.
I don't think it's a viable vehicle at all, and agree with the critics as a road bike, but I still covet it. Less for each one produced.

This is kind of Arlen Ness does corporate. Are you familiar with Arlen's work? His book calls him the 'godfather of choppers' and a number of his creations I'd imagine are close to un-rideable, way beyond OCC even, but they are very valuable works of art. Lots see them as engineering sculpture. There is some of that (to use their corp-speak) 'DNA' here.

My personal preference to ride is a high performance tractor engine on pogo sticks. That or your UJM don't make the front cover of Gizmodo.

Most importantly I now have some good angles for the article. Thankyou linesman, etc etc.

I wonder if he is thinking about the Britain...???

I hate everything he has ever done.

[Big Dave]

I hate everything he has ever done.

I'm sure he's completely devastated by this crushing news. I'll pass it on. They may even stop production.

[Headbanger]

That will be excellent Dave, You're a top bloke.

[Big Dave]

awww it's nothing - not only that - I will use my enormous power and influence to have all future motorcycles made to resemble a speed triple. Kinda guy I am. :-)

[Headbanger]

And while your settings things right, How about a route map to accompany the ride reports in the magazine?

Perhaps with points of interest highlighted.

[Big Dave]

Any suggestions for some that I can use without breaching copyright welcome?
I have the ones from Tourism NZ but they are not detailed.

[Headbanger]

I was actually just thinking of google maps, with the route marked and a couple of the places mentioned in the corresponding article highlighted.

As I was thinking the map only needs to be small, then the less detail the better.


And if that is just retarded, bear in mind I know less about how your magazine should be then I do about bike design.

[Big Dave]

It 'should' have maps - no argument - google prohibit reproduction in the small print - and last I priced a license from one of the local joints they were pretty pricey.

Pointing to them online might be an answer.

Oh my gods......
