Triumphs, but no Rocket just now.
No doubt our girls accelerate quicker than most and I'm yet to see how fast she'll go. But why oh why do I keep looking for another gear on the highway? Does anyone know what Triumph was thinking and are there any suggestions out there to give her longer legs?
 
Thats my only pet peeve .... but having a gear position indicator now tells me when to stop shifting. :p
 
I too kept looking for 6th and I now have a GiPro that now is just a gear indicator for me. But when I had the bike on the dyno they done a pull in 4th and one in 5th and surprisingly there was not much difference in the readings. A 6th gear would be nothing short of great.

Big T
 
Personally, I'd prefer a 13 double over or an 18 direct over the paltry 5 speed.

You could get a callous on the top of your foot with a 13 or 18......:D
Oh, wouldn't that be cool .... a split rear diff !!!! Flip (Mr. Penske), break out the CAD machine and whip up a split rear differential, a big yellow pull knob right next to the tach would be fine. :D
 
Truckers !! Next ya'll will be fix'en some 6" duel chrome stacks coming up the back of the sissy bar. :cool:
I think I might already have stacks. hehe

I'm still missing the steering wheel spinner and the yellow split rear axle pull knob. (I'm fixated on that knob thing :p)
