Yeah , been thinking about the two bike thing and I think your barking up the right tree.

| | Posted : 26 Oct 2013 - 00:14 Post title : Re: Rode a Trophy (Re: intimidator32) | | | They are a great bike but I just like the idea of a thumping p/twin, and like you mentioned, the sound is one of the best. When I jump on the TBird, all thoughts of owning a different bike fade away. I will probs end up just getting a new TBird - although mine is running like a dream.
