[Anonymous 54]

Finaly! Ive been chaseing my tail for months.Elec? Carb? Head gasket mabey?

All of the above.Buts its rippin now!Theres nothing like an old Triumph.’

Boring rideing tip.

Make sure your kickstand is up!

I told you it was boreing. But if you forget, that first left hander you come to will get pretty exciteing!

Fix.

When you kick it into first, look down and check.
I allways give a swipe with my foot, as if I were putting it up.That way Ill catcht it if Ive f~~~ed up.

Happy Motoring Brothers!

Glad its running. Had so many hours scratchin’ my head on non running bikes. I learnt after a while that a good place to start is with a compression test. That will tell you if the valves aren’t sealing or if there is a head gasket leak. Start with compression then work back through the carbs and ignition. Happy riding 🙂

Hey Old Sage
You heard about the new gang in NYC
Sons of Viagra. Ride hard brother.
AND
What’s the difference between a Triumph and a vacuum cleaner?
You can get two dirt bags on a Triumph

Seriously, a Triumph 650? What year?

I ride a CanAm Spyder RT three wheeler. I get the scooter buddy jokes.

Its like rideing a jack hammer! It will vibrate your teeth out!Ive been rideing it since I was 26.No gages but Im guessing Ive put at least 150,000 miles on it.No kidding. First time Ive had the motor apart!

I dont care what you ride. I only care how well you ride it!

Throttling up comeing off a corner is better than sex!

I have the opposite problem. I ride a hack so often that when I’m on a solo I’ve forgotten to put the kickstand down. Once I forgot to drop a leg at a stop light. Talk about embarrassing.

And that’s why I like boxers for long rides.

I’ve done that! And falling over skiing after coming to a dead stop, equilibrium told me I was level after an epic run! I wasn’t, I fall over like a sack of potatoes right in front of all the pretty women in front of the lodge. It’s not like I can pull a “yea-butt” two minutes ago I was inverted in the Supper pipe! No no, you’re just the Herb that fell over on the flats! But I don’t give a s~~~ about my external appearance. In a case like that (if it were legal) I would pull it out and start fapping!

That’s usually about the time I strike it rich hitting OIL!

Good/safe riding Old Sage

Just remember to check when you drop the kickstand.
On one ride, I heard the click of it locking in place when I stopped for fuel. Both the bike and I dropped like a fat chick in front of the candy store.
Turned out it was my hip that clicked, not the stand.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

Thanks Grumpy!
When I kick it over I hear my knee crunching, and think my motors locking up! Haha
