I think we can all agree what style your talking about...

The only reason I didn’t buy one was the delivery time which was ridiculous but that was a year ago and by now they’ve sorted out the problem……..gotta take the Benelli in for its 7,000 klm service after Xmas so I might see what trade in I could get.

He resembles something passed by a woolly mammoth.

4 tipes of ultra processed shit mixed together? Also, shrimp dip is for dipping shrimp on, that’s just a mess you spread on crackers!

Ive done 0 miles on my project ... I am almost ready to try to start it though... Not looking forward to rewiring the thing ...

Looks like donkey cock casserole without the donkey cock

Yes mate, since April I think. I’ve also had the old Fazer to blast around on and more recently the Kymco scooter. The benefit of warm, dry weather mate.

If a Harley rider can't talk about style then no one can.

………….funny how a Harley rider should profess to have knowledge of ‘style’

I know have only done 40 miles on the Sprint, but it was a blast, Bike comfy and fast enough, I really liked it. It feels like the big old 1980’s bike that I can’t afford. I know when these T300’s were current they weren’t real dynamic competition for the Japs of the day but now they fit in a whole different niche. I can’t wait to get it right and pile on the miles.

At least he doesn't resemble a wooly Mammoth....

If you need any advice @Clive is an expert regards Triumph carbs ..............

That would make his eyes water

Went out for my first proper ride on the Sprint today. I had been out before but only did 6 miles. Anyway turned out to be eventful. The bike started and ran well up to Damerells motorcycles which is 20 miles from me. No particular reason for going there just a destination and a chance to look at some shiny things. I was quite chuffed with the run up but the bike didn’t tick over when I pulled up to Dameralls. I tried turning the tickover knob clockwise but it just turned like it wasn’t attached to anything. Not ideal, it had worked before. I headed off after mooching around Dameralls and the bike started fine with a hint of choke. Apparently T300’s are quite cold blooded, it didn’t move far off the bottom of the temperature gauge unless I was in slow traffic. As I used the acceleration lane to join the A30 out of Dameralls I felt a hint of clutch slip. But rode normally up to and maybe a little more than the national speed limit without issue until I left the A30 10miles later. Then I noticed clutch slip again just a hint but it was there. A few miles on the bike cut out, I switched to reserve and it fired right up again. So two things the fuel tap appears to be working fine but the fuel light doesn’t. It will come on when you turn on the ignition but that appears to be the only time. I went a topped up and the bike took 15 litres. Leaving the fuel station clutch started to slip again worse than before in the lower gears now as well. The following 5 miles home it genuinely felt like touch and go if I would make it. So I can see a carb strip In my future and a new clutch. Not to worried about doing the clutch as I had planned to take the covers off to paint them at the next service. Think I have some research to do on the carbs but I have watched a couple of vids and it doesn’t look to onerous. I have cleaned and balanced carbs in the past. We shall see. Still really like the bike just got to get it reliable.

It’s a 10 footer mate, but presentable. I bought it to ride although I have enjoyed getting it the way I like. Problem is I have got the T300 bug now and have been fantasising about a Daytona 1200.

Got the Sprint all back together today and clean with everything working so it’s time to ride. I’m happy with it cosmetically now, still loads to do but that will come in time. The thing I am most pleased with is the passenger grab handles. Makes it so much easier to put the bike on the main stand. I reckon I have spent around £200 so it now has cost me £710, whether that is a bargain or not is yet to be seen but I am going to get a 1000 miles on it first before I plan to do anything else. That maybe famous last words but we shall see, depends if it breaks or not. I believe the bike has been serviced in the last 1000 miles as the oil, coolant and brake/cutch fluid is clean. It starting well and sounding sweet, charging well also. Tyres are good but I am suspicious of the forks seals. Hint of misting about them but I will monitor them. I have new ones on the shelf for when they are needed. put to bed for the night.

Mrs. Hook's infamous Taco Soup....plenty of habaneros, jalapenos, beans, corn, black olives, carrots & bbq'd chicken. Definitely will clear your sinus'....good for what ale's ya! Best part is there's still 2 gallons of it out in the garage freezer...

I’m being strong and resisting the bait. I’ll go read my book!

With a side of donkey cock?

I'll stick with my fried chicken, gravy n veg thanks.
