guys,

found this on youtube, thought you'd like to see/hear it:

hurricane idling

hurricane howling

Steve, the happy owner

Magic, on the standard pipes too. So how many of you would buy one now if you could get one at your local Triumph dealer?

Most excellent!

Thanks for the heads up. :-D

I'll have three, please?

Nige.

 

[WoodsieIII]

Love it I'll take one. :-D

 

[upNorth]

Count me in! I would sell a kidney to get one of those.

I'm not kidding.

 

[sweatmachine]

that idle could bring tears to your eyes. the howl is great too.

I've said it before and I'll say it again " There is nothing that sounds as good as a Triumph Triple."

 

[johnyC]

except perhaps TWO triples,

one I've posted before, but since we're on the subject of 120' triples, this is **** Grant on the ex works production triple 'Slippery Sam' followed by Ago on an MV triple:

TT parade lap, Slippery Sam/MV3


another pair of triples, but both in the same frame, listen to this chap going over the mountain on his cbx:

straight six over the mountain

ps. Nige, just found out after I'd posted the TT link, that Gwen Crellin died on Saturday: Gwen Crellin

For those of you not familiar with TT/Isle of Man, Gwen is the woman in white who Ago stops to chat with in the video. She was a marshal on the TT course outside her house at Ballaugh for many years, she always gave the riders a cup of tea and a cake if they broke down there. So long Gwen

The sound coming from the exhaust on the drive-by is hair
raising. I was much younger and thinner in that bikes
heyday. Would be cool if Triumph could do a retro model,sort
of like Ducati did with their sports classics.

 

[Ballacraine]

Yes, I had heard, Johny.

A shame and certainly the end of a long era!

Retro?

Well I am working in that ethos....

Take a flip through my gallery. :wink:

Nige.

 

[Ballacraine]

Re the 6...

Sorry, more than three cylinders does nothing for me.

A lot of uneccessary frenetic activity! :razz:

Nige. :-D

 

[johnyC]

Nige,

I knew it was your old Gilera I saw at Laxay, from the leather tank pad. I was speaking to the new owner at last year's mgp, he says his mates can't stay with him now through Appledene. I don't know what to do about the Island for next year, I'd booked the boat for the pre-TT and practice week but have a new rota at work that has totally bollocksed it. I can't get over with my bike atall now

 

[Ballacraine]

Oh that is bad news, Johny.

I hope you can get something sorted.

Re. My old Saturno:

I thought he would be happy with it! :wink:

Nige.
