Today I rode .....................

Howdy doody folks,haven`t posted for a while with the T8 being up forsale and all,but I`d thought I`d have a post as I`m in on my todd
Took the T8 out to my local dealer today as he said he would give me a hand selling it with some extra exposure.Haven`t rode it since september,went to it and it started first touch(Try that with your new gell batteries)forgot how much those old 4 valvers like to rev.

While at the dealers I took a new sport classic out (10miles on it and they give it to me ) really like the way it steered ,and you could turn it around in the road in one go!
The old 2 valvers do make a great road engine with all that bottom end punch,reminded me of my old SS`s and Multistrada,speaking of Multistradas,Tantrums was in having it`s new crankcases and some more Narfuk bling!
Wouldn`t buy a sport classic myself and I don`t know who would to be honest,to slow for the young`uns of today and to uncomfortable for the old`uns aswell.
The dealer has had it on demo for a month and I was the first to take it out,go figure eh?
