They're what's known (over here anyway) as "Big Bore street bikes" for
some
reason, but they're still a brilliant bike. A pal of mine has one (bought
last month) and another pal has just bought a KTM Superduke and it's
amusing
to see the fight for keys when we stop. Depending on the roads we're about
to ride, we all have a preference for different bikes. Mine (The Zed 1000)
beats them both on fast sweepers and on out and out full theash riding,
but
the Duke is best on REALLY tight twisties. The Trumper takes everything in
it's stride and sounds wonderful while it's doing it. If I had an inkling
for another bike, it'd be the Triple.


Lots of folks over in A.M.S sure seem to like that triple... Didn't
see anything at the auction this morning - pretty much a waste of time
this time around. Seems every other month is good so next month
should have some deals.

That deal you mentoned on eBay has a governor in there too. A Throttle
Jockey" it's called, but it does the same thing as the Futaba GV-1 which
is
to keep those engine revs exactly where they should be.


I think I'm gonna bid on it later today. Might get lucky.

Oh yeah, I've had one or two of them over the years too. Thankfully I'm
"out
of that" now.


I used to be self employed, but I got tired of being a collection
agent - why the hell don't people pay their damned bills??


It's a question that would take some answering, but as far as me and my son
are concerned, no-one gets anything unless it's cash up front, and (with the
bodyshop we now have) no vehicles leave with a penny owing. Insurance co's
are the thorn in our side though, and space. When people don't have the
cash, WE have to keep their cars and they take up much needed space.(mind
you, we charge for the privilege)

Good spec, but no electris included. I reckon if push came to shove, it'd
be
considered, but the eBay link you sent me seems a beter bet.


I'll call that one my "Plan-B"


Looks like plan A worked :-))
