Pleasant A65 bobber/chop; Proper scruffy scrambler, looks like a 750 motor too, proper street cred with this one; The Beeza looks well neat and the pipes on the scrambler are cool as cluck .. Yeah I've been following a bit earlier today you're contributions on another thread started by one of the other guys who has bought one of the Hinckley Trumpets and was well impressed by its MPG .. I don't know enough about them intimately as you our Triumph expert so it was fascinating to read the posts by Yourself , Ballpoint , Neilly and the rest of the guys on how to mod' and tune 'em .. Great stuff keep it up .. I'm back here now Jetting in Tues' night after finishing a series of hspl appointment in GB ( thank **** I got away before the idiot with the drone shut down Gatwick Thursday / Friday ) which is why I've been a bit quiet on this thread .. I'll see what I can dig up on the Porn front the next few days .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mates of mine in England own several from a mundane air cooled 790 twin to a Rocket 3. My personal favourite is an 08-10 Speed Triple. Followed by the last of the Thunderbird Sports (carb'd) and first of the Speed Triples (Carb'd). Followed by....... I digress. Now, Meriden Triumph twins - now you're talking. I am that expert in Thailand. Speed Triples; Early 955 and an 08-10 1050 - 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated old Skool Commando in a gorgeous green .. Concur with all the above, EXCEPT.... that flat tracker is not "cute" nor "little". It is big, mean, nasty, powerful, fast & furious, and absolutely gorgeous. But cute and little, no. Cute and little references something pink, something step thru, something girlie with a basket on the front. My references were for a wheel spinning dirt throwing real man's motorcycle. A Brit flat tracker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it is a classy, "aesthetically" beautiful bike? And you think it can actually be ridden at a third of the pace of a stock Harley? Or is it literally just all Show and no Go? ie useless as a motorcycle and ok as art if you like that sort of art? Please answer the 4 questions above. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
