Everything shiny and they stick an old disc on there.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
I don't like the vents in the clutch casing or the exhaust wrap, but other than those, I like it!

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
well things like the rear brake and lots of the other bits including the fork legs still have patina, But some bits have been fluffed up a bit yes..

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
I've given it a thumbs up cos at first glance it didn't look too bad at all. Then I thought the seat looked a bit wrong, followed by the stupid exhausts and then the gap where they've made the oil tank smaller. I did go off it a bit after that...

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
Nah. Wouldn't want to own or ride it. The high level pipes are wrong and bandaging them doesn't help. All right if you like that sort of thing but nostalgia only gets you so far.

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
I like it - other than the exhaust wrap ...
And the fact that half of it seems to be missing.

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
Speaking of nostalgia, when I moved to this house I found a local chap with a collection of ermm...semi-classic bikes that hired them out. Everything from Ducati to a Panther combo. I got in touch with my chum from the teenage 2-wheel years and suggested we did a bit of 'memory laning*'. His response: 'Old bikes, you must be joking! Don't go, don't stop and you come home in an RAC van. Kick start? Yeh, right'.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 9:55 am Nah. Wouldn't want to own or ride it.

(So we rode down to Bury Hill and Arundel on our thoroughly modern 650 single and 1150 flat twin instead )

The 750 Bonneville carried 4 pints, which was a bit marginal if anything was leaking.

Don't like the 'silencers', don't like the wrap, don't like the air filters, and that front disc.....................!!

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
Was it lowered from a helicopter into that muddy field? Don't see any evidence of mud on the tyres.
That's as far as my interest goes.

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
The answer is they wrap the tyres in clingfilm.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 6:12 pm Was it lowered from a helicopter into that muddy field? Don't see any evidence of mud on the tyres.

I was slightly flabbergasted when I first saw it done, at a show in a field.

I can't imagine I'll ever have cause to use the idea, but it's nice to know...

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
It would make the tyres almost entirely grip-free though, which would be 'fun' in a muddy field...

Re: LOADED GUN CUSTOMS TRITON
Well the rest of my bike is such a mess that clean Kiwi-blacked tyres wouldn’t win me the supreme concours prize anyway.

You push the bike from the trailer to the display stance, then remove the clingfilm.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 7:19 pm It would make the tyres almost entirely grip-free though, which would be 'fun' in a muddy field...
