    Have yet to see that one, will keep my good eye on the alert for crumpet laden Viffers.

    Well my old man turned up to my flat today on a new(used) bike. See he got himself 2000-2002? a Triumph ST he bought from some guy in Tokaroa. Had a spin on the bike and have to say the triple engine does sound better then your average IL4.

    Funny thing was the fuel light was on and fuel gage read empty so I quickly pop into the nearest petrol station only to find the fuel tank was full to the top. Apart from that I have to say the bike felt quick nice to ride.

    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    video would not do the rumble rumble uber low frequencies justice, while hi-fi sound systems and big subs are good for metal, for mufflers like this, you gotta be there
