Those new Triumph Speed Triples...

Yay! My first Murrayism.

 

Too good to hurryism.

Interesting to note (or not, as the case may be) that some people are
now starting to complain about the newer bikes being too small, which
is quite surprising when they comment about, lets say an FZR1000 that
was a decent bike to ride (and even I can fit on one of them), and then
complain that the latest gixxer or whatever is 'too small', with an
average seat height of 32", which is way over what I can fit (calm
down, boys).

Anyway, the latest Triumph is *still* too big for me, so I shan't be
shopping for one of those then.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot..there was an article in a certain bike mag
out this month that mentioned a ZXR400 bought secondhand might have too
much purple on it..methinks the writer might have got a bit confused
with the female Kawasaki owners ;o)

Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally

 

Bike had an article on this - it's not just that they're physically getting
smaller - but the seat is getting higher and higher.

So it's all a bit odd - you have to have really long legs, but a small body
to fit on the bikes

And wide hips, seat width makes quite a difference.
