As far as I know JJ only has one bike now the Triumph,he did have Harley Sportster in the 80s I believe,but he went back to Triumphs,he says they are the best bikes? I disagree they really are not,alot are now built in Far East,they are good bikes,but in performance levels the Yamahas,Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Ducati leave them in the distance,but depends what you want from a bike,I'm a Super Sports fan,so my weapon of choice is Yamaha R6 133BHP and 165 Top speed,ive had 157 Mph out of it but slowing down now.evonx wrote: ↑28 May 2023, 17:43I see. Have to admit I know nothing at all about motorcycles to be honest. My ex once gave me a Triumph t shirt like JJ used to wear which was nice but a bit odd since I only rode at the back of the yamaha one a mate of mine rode when we were 18 or so, lolon his Harley .
Wasn't he a Triumph man?
Yes he is but I'm told he has a very nice panhead with a springer front end ,very much like Dave Vainian use to have.

Re: six months off
I think he has more than 1 bike as he brought aTriton that one of his old mates had from their uni days from his widow after he passed away .I would guess im older than you as my fav bikes were 2 strokes with there power bands great fun and sounded great with expansion chambers on .Greatkudu wrote: ↑30 May 2023, 18:14As far as I know JJ only has one bike now the Triumph,he did have Harley Sportster in the 80s I believe,but he went back to Triumphs,he says they are the best bikes?
