Jardine Exhaust request

[dougl]

I sold my first Rocket aftet 8 years and got a TBird. Even with the 1700 engine, it is lacking in the power excitement factor. Otherwise it's a really nice bike.

If you refer to what I stated regards my two runs w/ Warp as being "hard to believe", ask him; however, he was in the lead and likely didn't see much regarding the four lengths he opened up before shutting down.
@ROCKETHEAD went off as well and was behind both of us and likely had the best view - ask him.
Twas my honest observation of the two run-offs we did.

Scott was getting on it just enough to stay ahead, as far as Bull he was waxing it through the 1st three gears hard. Scott's has a higher rpm range but both shifted at about the same point if I recall...
If they were rolling on at 5000+ rpms in any gear then the bike lengths would have been greater.

NO $HIT!?
I understood Scott was ON IT all the way up to 100 mph!
Now I must inquire . . . .
@warp9.9 yoo hoo, Amigo?????
Would you please clear this up for us?

I hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it. I love my Rocket III. I have 2 of them at the moment. But the T-Bird is Triumph's baby and the Rocket competes with it. I can't see the Rocket being a huge profit maker. They have discontinued the majority of Rocket III accessories, there are only the 2 models and one you can get in any color you want, as long as it's black. Meanwhile, the Thunderbird is now spread out over 4 models, with an entire catalog of accessories. Making it appear that is they way Triumph is heading.

I was invited to a Triumph focus group a month or so ago to discuss a new Rocket. Saw all sorts of design sketches, options, specs, etc. Pretty exciting, pretty different stuff. Wish I could talk about it more but I was asked to keep it to myself. But know that Triumph is by no means giving up on the Rocket.

No harm here and I took NO insult.
I was indeed surprised and if my memory is correct, pretty sure Head commented the same.
Bear in mind it was merely my professional estimate - it could have actually been 3 lengths!
Also, now that I ponder this, our start could very well have been in 2nd gear, but it twas from only 20 mph.

edit: We was in the same gear and at the same speed side by side.

so you stayed in 2nd gear up to 100 ?

 

[1olbull]

so you stayed in 2nd gear up to 100 ?

NO!
I was had by about four lengths which was rapidly widening the faster we went.

 

[IMFASTTOO]

WHAT were you smoking and or drinking that day ?

NO SCOTT told me you were catching him and would have past him if you continued the race

You know, Art, I have said what happened and what I perceived from two separate run-offs with Warp and his 240. Each had pretty much the same results.
Why do you insist on being such a fu*kin' DOUCHE CANNON with anyone you happen to not agree with?
So,

PS: Please tell Bob Carpenter I shall NOT be in Berlin for the kit upgrade after Sturgis in August.
I wonder if he knows how truly BAD you are for his business?!?!
