big J Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Just downloaded the calendar What's this? 3 Tenni's and not a Scura in sight? I reckon packets of chocolate limes have been winging their way between Tenni HQ and Jaap's place. Maybe the Scura boys should get ready for next year, I'd suggest bottles of Guinness(the dark stuff)! PS why has the Tenni got it's panniers on backwards?
Guest Nogbad Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I did suggest a Scura for October would be appropriate. You know, halloween, the dark side etc. I think the Scuristas are too embarrassed to submit a picture. After all, a matt black bike? Says ratbike to me for sure.

Being a sad bunny I just looked at Will's travelogues and it seems he always has them that way round. It must if he meets a young lady she will have plenty of room for her feet

I reckon it's good for at least 3 mph to be honest though...Moto Guareschi set it up that way. Who am I to question Italians? Though...now that you mention it.... They never looked backwards until you mentioned it!

Like how my tank is either a little too big or the steering stop tab was put in the wrong place on the frame and my forks rub the tank turned all the way. or relays clutches ya know this stuff aint jap quality initial build but at least you can ride it 3 times as long so they got something right.

This equates to another 2.5 mph for a net gain of 0.5 mph.
