    Classic! Gosh, and I always thought Triumph riders had a sense of humour!

    Speaking of Triumph riders, a Pom by the name of John Young today
    finished the 2011 Iron Butt Rally on a 1969 T150 Trident Triumph
    covering 13652km over the 11 days.

    His bum is probably a bit weary. Wonder how his sense of humour is?

    can you get crashbars and oggy knobs and those outriggers BMW use for their
    ABS testing for the boat anchor?

    bastard! ;-P

    They gave me one of those Harley catalogues that's about an inch thick -
    clearly they think they own my soul now. I'm sure to find some skull-shaped
    oggy-knobs in there somewhere, bwahahahaha!

    Ah, well, yes, but..... I think some of them have such a thing, but,
    Triumph, like H-D, Ducati, and BMW, seem to attract a sort of tribal or
    gang-like following, so it makes it very hard to figure out, have they a
    sense of humour, or is their sense of humour just so dry that I just
    don't get it. :)

    I am sure, betty, that you'll run into this kind of thing very soon when
    riding your new bike.

    I mean, like, you find a motorcycle that fits you and works for you, so
    you buy it. Then, next thing you know, other riders of that marque
    expect you to have, or want, all the merchandising gear to match. :-(

    Did I tell you about finding out at a Procycles sale, that there are
    such things as BMW branded underpants?

    Now, to be fair, I am all in favour of a good excuse for a dress-up,
    but, at H-D, or even Triumph, prices....the hell with it.

    Can I extract a promise from you folks? If I ever start to sound like a
    Harley wanker, just pull me back into line, yeah? What I'm expecting for my
    money is a good solid reliable bike. Sheesh, I hope that's not an
    unreasonable hope, lol. I'm not expecting great handling or performance, and
    I believe the only way to get any semblance of either is via scouring that
    bloody catalogue and forking out megabucks for modifications - grrrr.
    However - perhaps Piglet is just what I need for a while, who knows?

    I promise I won't ever buy Harley knickers bwahahahahaha!

    Hey, here's just one little thing that has already shat me off - on-road
    price for the Sportie included a $500 DELIVERY AND HANDLING FEE (which I
    only discovered on my sales invoice) - so..... if they don't deliver the
    bike to my house, should I ask for some money back??? Surely it's not $500
    to move the bike from the showroom to the carpark, 10 metres away.....

    Well there you go ... congrats. Just gotta stay with the v-twins. Hope
    that you are in for a long and happy union.
    Made a good start by not using a masculine name :) Remember to use
    plenty of moisturiser on that delicate face
    once you start with the open face helmet, then I suppose a bandana
    will be in order ... and a must is one of those
    long strapped calico type bags - will be able to carry your stuff to
    Jindabyne in it.
    Regards, PTR
