Those triples were great if a little unreliable I seem to remember. I had a one of the GT500 twins in 80's. Terrific bike. And GS750 which I liked much less. Are you riding anything now Geoff?

No bike these days (getting a bit over the hill).

The GT550A was nowhere near as much fun as my restored & tuned Kwaka H1F 500 triple. Now that was nuts!

Haha, those things were nuts without any tuning! Oh well it looks as though you had fun with them.

Yup. I'm a pensioner now, but still got a serious hankering for an SV1000S (Should I? Should I? :scratch: :D).

Age. Uncertainty. A touch of skintness and an increasing awareness of mortality! :lol:

Hmm. This is rather good. Video of some guy on the continent letting one loose. Hits 165mph rather quickly and holds a steady 120mph effortlessly.

Watch it on full screen with the sound up!

one error or pot hole and your creamed;)

Umm.....looks fun but not on the open road for me. I have been on the receiving end of a careless car drivers front end twice in my life with many broken bones, and that was at 40ish mph. Goodness knows what I'd end up like at 160mph. Still think you should go and get one Geoff!

Why do I have my particular username ?? Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon album...................... the answer is on there !!!! :comatose:

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO I do not smoke pot, take drugs, get wasted or anything else like that but, I do think that track is a harmless substitute of how to mellow out without killing yourself :confused:
