bike types/decisions [longish]

I think Mongrel is the word you are searching for ;-)

 

Well actually, since I predate the car by quite some time, it's
obvious that they named the car after me. Mind you, why they had to
choose such a lardy, prone to rot, ugly monstrosity after .... ah,
hmm, as you were.

I don't think much of you, as it happens.

I prefer the term 'Heinz 57', hence my choice of botafot/fof numbers

 

mutually assured detestation.

 

TS250C?

Ah, the good old Rickman name. That's where they got the name from.

 

When mine broke, replaced FOC at Techmoto, a Ducati place, with a
metal one off a 996 - which they had spare.

Aprilia design a road bike without an alarm.
Aprilia dealer fits a shoddy alarm, shoddily.
Aprilia dealer sells bike.

It's the buyers fault?

It is now

No, don't think so, another forever subject over on rsvr.net.

Maybe - it's the I'll have to buy a replacement, and will it actually
be any better?

All said and done, even with all the foibles(sp?) i think the Milles
are great bikes.

 

Is that just a 2004 thing? - i might be wrong. Ebay should get you
shod of the trick stuff for a good price. I would try to find a
secondhand one. rsvr.net might be a place to look.

don't worry - how soon? I'm off to chamonix end of the month.

Can't help on that one, kwak dealer shouldn't be a problem. Hyside
(sp?) in Romford had a couple of mille demos but they didn't have a
Turno in December.

Triumph Rocket?

 

probably the Triumph I'm *most* likely to buy.

It's so incredibly stupid, I could almost want one.

 

*d-ing*

 

also a great excuse for only being fast in a straight line.

 

I thought it was actually supposed to handle?

 

[Rocket]

all things are relative. It's got a 1690mm wheelbase, a dry weight of
320kg and 32 degrees of rake. You work it out.

Also, it's only got 140bhp.

However, the 147ft/lb of torque (at 2,500 rpm) ought to count for
something...
