dorset Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 hey folks i'm curious. what kind of place is this? i'm ancient, i guess, been on bikes 45 years. first bike was a 1962 triumph trophy that i rode through the monsoons back when when tungku abdul rahman was a new name in kuala lumpur. still mostly old british stuff, though my newest machine is a 1997 buell. never seems to break anything, unlike my 74 trident that threw a rod day before yesterday on I-70. never done any road racing, but i am currently developing a 1965 triumph bonneville LSR at the east coast timing association mile when i can, and at the loring timing association when i can't. took it to loring last month. did very well there, but not good enough to be first. back to the dyno in a month or two. i don't always have a lot to say, but i'll be lurking. ciao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello kevin. You killed the Trident? Guess those parts you shed last fall was a warning. we need to plan a fall ride/lunch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorset Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) you're everywhere, rich. yes. it was the infamous trident. i replaced the sidecover (that fell off), replaced the ignition switch (that fell off), replaced the oil cooler reflector assembly (that fell off). then the rod fell off, of the crank. until then it was looking really good. now not so good. if we meet someplace i'm going to ride the buell.

Whether you're the abuser or the abusee is up to you. That's pretty good - I like it sorta like a train wreck in progress. Its a sick fascination, I gotta come back and see whats going on, even though mostly I am a lurker foole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
