Topic: Triumph Thruxton

[Chris Liston]

From what I have heard....this Thruxton is a bit anemic for a 856cc bike.....
I do agree it looks good though......

I can agree with this statement.  But after new exhaust, pod filters and jet kit this bike really wakes up ALOT.  Stock it's good but isn't very inspiring.  After a 1000 bucks and a weekend of work it get out of its own way quick.  These bikes are really tame coming from the factory but really respond to aftermarket very good.

Oops Excuse me TC I was thinking Bill had posted that why I hate Triumphs and Ducati 

I wouldn't want to lay Arkansas on anyone that wasn't actually from there

Now just kidding Bill. Get over it fast you hear

          Nope, twasn't me that did that. I was born in Arkansas and live here now by choice. Now, I have been in a good number of the states, North, South, East and West and, while i liked most everywhere I've been, My place is in Arkansas. I've got friends all over the country and then some, because of SOHC4. Aren't you from Virginia? Met some mighty fine folks when I went to Ft. Belvoir a lot of years ago. You take care and I'll catch you later on, Bill 

         By the way, I'm not a Triumph or Ducati lover, but I'm not a hater either.

Hey Bill your suppose to say those folks from Virginia sure are uppity ]

Then I could come back with being raised in (31 years) NC which is a vale of humility between
to mountains of conceit (Virginia to the north and SC to the south

One thing North Carolinians have always been proud of is how humble we are

Every time I go to pickup Honda parts (which is often) , I always spend a minute looking at the orange and white T100. God, I love that bike!

           Hey Rocking-M, Guess I wasn't paying attention. I hate to be a downer but, when I went to Ft. Belvoir (for a 2 and 1/2 month Military Power Generation Course, through the Civil Service) I found most all of the folks, that I came into contact with, were quite hospitable, courteous and friendly. Sorry but, that has been my experience. I also went to Ft. Bragg, for a Civil Affairs Course (through the Army Reserves) for my 2 weeks summer training. There again, no problem and no complaints I know that I'm spoiling the fun and I apologize for that. Spent about 9 months in SC at Charleston AFB, as my first base of assignment in the USAF and again, no problem.

                                                         Later on, Bill

Ah, come on Bill, you got to hone up on your ribbing skills,
I figure a little ribbing keeps us all honest
Sorta like being bucked of keeps a fellow from being to boastful. 

SC is great, that's where I plan to move when I hit the jackpot. There is
a little Plantation down there on highway 41 on the way to Charleston
that I eyeballed about 22 years ago.....It would be a nice starting point for
a coast ride on the Honda, Triumph, or Ducati
