Chain drive? What about a belt? This is the 21st century.

What else, kick start and no self-cancelling turn signals?

Give the guy a break guys, he's either one of these:

a/ John Bloor's long lost second cousin twice removed, uncle's step-son.
b/ A wrench hand at the Hinckley factory
c/ a wrench hand at a Triumph dealer
d/ a salesman at a Triumph dealer
e/ a fifth columnist from Hardley.com
f/ a Russian spy from Ural
g/ an elephant cleaner at Chon Buri
h/ an unemployed F1 spy
i/ an enthusiastic new member who's had a trip round the Hinckley factory
j/ none of the above

Take your pick.

Very interesting analysis Tbirdnz!

I'll have to agree, he must be a plant from Harley sent to cause chaos.

This thread is getting a little hairy and a couple of posts have had to be deleted so it's being locked down, anyone that has new 'definite' information on this 1500 'rumour' can post a new thread, meantime Merry Christmas to all, have a great day.
