08 Rocket III R.I.P now TEX Triumph Explorer
Today I had the pleasure of Peter @Ishrub (from Canberra) presence and loaded up his Rocket with my PCV + AT AFR map plus the Famous Ian Tune which I tweaked and transposed over on to a Roadster base tune, He is a nice Guy and is planning on bringing his Sprint down for a tweaking. sometime in the not to distant future I plan to go up and look at his Bow collection.
Only last month I had the pleasure of sorting a couple of running issues on another Forum members Paul (cant remember his forum name) bike he had what I am seeing more and more guys are not getting good idling, I cant stress how important it is to due the "Adjust ISCV" function in Tune ECU it only has to be out a smiggin to make the bike idle poorly
 
Careful I'll start blushing

I had a wonderful day and ride down and back. Great welcome (even the cats liked me and ignored my labrador's smell), and I learned a hell of lot about Rockets and Hans himself, a real credit to his community online and at home. I even received a free Hans0 grown pumpkin at Mrs Hans0's kind insistence who was delighted to hear we are regular pumpkin soup makers.

The return was even better after Hans0's tuning skills were brought to bear despite the setting sun most of the way home and I was glad it was a lovely fine autumn day as the infamous Clyde Mountain between the coast and Southern Tablelands can be treacherous in the rain especially with all the 5 roadworks and tree lopping crews I encountered.
 
I'm the one that should be blushing, I never ask anything for my help and glad I can but just before leaving Peter @Ishrub bestowed on me a gift (2 actually) 2 triumph T's, the James Dean Flag shirt and the immortal Steve McQueen flag shirt and while they are labeled XXXL they are actually equal to Auss XXL which happens to be my size so to you Peter I am the one saying a Big Thank You and hope you enjoy the soup you make, you are welcome to drop in any time you are down

You ARE Lupe just in other ways, my stay with you highlighted just how big a guy can be in a small package, my stay with you and your beautiful awesome family is one of the highlights of my trip, give every ONE of them a BIG hug from me please and tell them I miss them.
Like so many of the other great people I met, geez I get teary eyed about how nice every one treated me while I was there, only just thinking yesterday how it was this time last year I was saying goodbye to my Awesome friends over there
 
Iam very happy that you enjoyed my humble home and crazy family, hope we can meet again in person some day
 
Glad they fit, hence my delight in finding you were not jockey sized and thinking I was gifting you a pair of His and Her's 'nighties' or suggesting you take up a singing career doing Demis Roussos' covers .

I do notice some difference in Triumph branded T's, some are larger versions despite same label size.
I am pleased to say my other examples of the versions you are wearing, despite being the slightly smaller sizing, do still fit me comfortably without looking too much like a WALMART customer in a sausage skin
- JUST, but I prefer a 4XL.
