| Brits are S---s
Having started biking in the cross over generation where there was about half and half brit/jap in my circle of friends I was avidly encouraged to get a real bike(I had a GS 550E at the time) so i sourced a average condition Triumph 650 twin carb 69 i think.
spent the winter totaly overhalling everything etc come spring out came the bike to use for work.
drag it out tickle it (yes no fancy button) kick it to death no go shove it back ride the jap to work.
next morning it starts first kick?????
ride it 40 miles loose half the oil and 2 tappet covers (vibes you never new existed)
if it rained it stopped,fortunately it was written off 3 months latter as i would have killed it with a sledge in the end.
you find out latter that when you phoned brit owning mates for a ride out and they couldnt make it ,it was usually because their bikes where in bits.
I would never never never ever own one again they make ducs look the most relaible bikes on the planet.
the best thing you can do with brit bike is drain all the oil and put in a case or crush it.  |
