If you can't see it, don't do it. I hope you can hold it that long.

I have a totaly stock bike, well unless you count the sissy bar and sport shield.  But I have had my bike at 135 or more on more than one run ridding double. I have a witness and you can talk to her as soon as she releases the seat and gets off.
Oh by the way the cop said if I didn't stop he never would of cought me. WHO knew  I thought they carried radio's. |

| | | Name that tune, if you can....
Somewhere in here Pig stated that the bikes are shipped to the dealers with no tune installed and the dealer installs the tune before delivery. If that's the case, it's up to the dealer's technician to install whatever tune he or she wants so they may install the tune applicable for the model or some other tune, of which Triumph has more than one.
In my case and I presume others, we didn't get the specified tune, but rather another tune at the choice of the dealer, not Triumph or us for that matter.

My fast draw set up is a .44 Mag Blackhawk. I don't experience that "sucker punch" you speak of.
Once again, hold yer shootin arm fully extended (strong arm method) squeeze the trigger with the tip of yer index finger, and don't forget to keep your eyes (both) open
