My Speed Triple always sounded mechanically noisy, even with an aftermarket pipe. Just the natural Triumph sound I think. Title: Re: Shhhh, quiet Speedy Post by: Nomad on September 15, 2007, 05:43:12 PM Dismantle and grease yer swing arm bushes while you can!

Title: Re: Shhhh, quiet Speedy Post by: Speedmaster on September 16, 2007, 10:16:47 AM ;D Good luck Ray! My Speed Triple always sounded mechanically noisy, even with an aftermarket pipe. Just the natural Triumph sound I think. I'll let you know what happens. Are you going to the F+H dinner, maybe with Tazet? Title: Re: Shhhh, quiet Speedy Post by: Manky Monkey on September 16, 2007, 10:22:47 PM The Fox & Hounds MCC reunion bash? No, can't make it unfortunately. If my house sale goes through & I get the money in the next week or two, Tazzie & I will be off to the States for a last minute holiday.
Title: Re: Shhhh, quiet Speedy Post by: Speedmaster on September 18, 2007, 06:20:23 PM THE STATES :o bloody hell man, thats a bit impusive enit? If you wont be at the F+H dinner, I'll have to eat your share!!!
By the way speedmaster passed MOT ;D Should have really, it's only 3 years old. Sound crap with the stock silencers on, gotta put the open ones back on. Title: Re: Shhhh, quiet Speedy Post by: Manky Monkey on September 18, 2007, 06:50:44 PM Congratulations Ray. ;D
The house sale's suddenly got a bit more complicated, (& stressful), with the original buyer dropping out & another jumping in the same day. That'll probably set the final completion date back a few weeks, so no idea what we'll be doing on the night of the F & H dinner now. Yup, a trip to the good ol' US of A if we can swing it, but unlikely now as it's less than 3 weeks away. :( |
