A rides a ride at 100Km? Piffle... A ride is ride when you have to stop because 1your knees are giving out , or
2 your wrists are throbbing or
3you have finally ran out of money and you cant avoid petrol. and
4 when you get off the bike you cant even look at it never mind think about getting back on it.
Anything else is a jaunt, an outing a commute.......

I feel like that after 20 minutes on my LC at Taupo

[RDjase]

Yep I watched it about 35 years ago.

Love those bars G, could you get them any lower? Whats the bike ? a Norton?

It looks great, I can see that its a Triumph now, I was looking at the primary cover and forgot the pre unit engines had a different cover that the unit models (63 and later ?) I had a 72 bonnie T120v with a 750 Morgo kit and a 73 T150v , Both of them had nice low Z bars, everyone else i rode with had siily high bars, then they all sold there triumphs and bought compressors and started riding slow. Then i got a 79 CB900F Bol d'Or with yoshi cams, cycle works 4 into 1(came out the left side) and modifyed CV carbs, That was a honda i really liked , it gave my mates the shits lol, it went a tad faster than there HDs

Yep, the 1st one i rode was a 1340 lowrider a mate bought, we swaped bikes for the day when i had my trident, I thought this will be fast , big engine and all that, well to say i was disappointed was a understatment, heaps of torque but i missed my trident instantly, it was comfortable , but not my scene. another mate had a XR1000 flat track replica, THAT WAS LOTS OF FUN, high comp , big cams , big dellortos , and NOT a Evolution engine, Not many of them around now(not that there was anyway)

If you want a place to test you can bring it up here. You have probably been here before. We host the Nationals from time to time. We can find you some hills and bogs to play in.
