| Another fiesty Floridian |
 Down to Fort Myers to pick up a friend's Ford Lighting (see post below), and I proffered exotic iron dealer JJ my personal.The card touts this site, and has a pic of me in my faded Aerostich. JJ nodded, said "A 'stich man? Me too." And promptly offered me a spin on this unique little bobber jobber. That's a 2004 Triumph modern motor shoehorned into a hardtail frame, with straight, taped pipes. The seat is a slab of beveled-edge aluminum with a little flip to it, and styling springs. Padding? Stickers with lots of rude and 'tude. How's she run? Just dandy. Low to the ground, but very flickable. How's she sound? As my momma once said about a certain Donzi on a river in Saginaw: "She's a throaty b----." :) JJ recently took it out for a couple of hundred miles. Safety wire and blue Loctite are wonderful things, he said. Long rider? Nope. Track carver? Fuggetaboutit. Sport tourer? Hardly. Tight little town tooter? You betcha. blog comments powered by Disqus |
