What does Joe want to know about the Triumph 400, had mine for about a year...
- Ben, 5462, PA.
...Sorry, I always do that. Anyway, I sent you lots of info and gearing recommendations some time ago, but I am sure you can find it and send it to him. I really liked the bike, it had plenty of power, but spinning its brains out at speed.
Lots of torque to pull taller gearing, but I just could never find sprockets. Might be available by now. As I recall, you could go up 2 and maybe 3 on the front, or down 3 and maybe 5 on rear. But not both. That would be too much. I gave you all the good info before.
Was up at my Royal Enfield dealer today. Bought the rally kit for my bike, the Himalayan 450 2025 model. Seat pops right on perfectly, so if that is all you want, just buy the seat.
Oh, they are releasing the Guerrilla R.E. next month. I will measure the rear sprocket mounting bolts to see if it will go on my Himalayan. Bet it will!!!
That is 45 teeth and would knock 200 more rpm off cruise for a total of 500 off with 16/45 gearing. It will pull it with ease.
You know me, “ steam train torque and fishing boat flywheels” I would be in heaven.
Can’t remember if I told you this, but it is so sweet I will tell you again.
Was at my oncologist, asked him how many years do i have? He said “ decades”...
So I went from there to my line dancing class. There is my little favorite Jean, 96 years old and dances me under the table every week. I say to her that the doctor just gave me 20 more years to dance with her. She looks up at me and says “ I’ll be here”. It was priceless, and it is probably true. She is strong, sharp, good eyesight, drives herself day and night ( and does a better job than most people) and is very independent. I could not love her more. What an inspiration, and 12+ weeks now and she still is dancing me under the table. I love it. This lass has brought me back to life from my depression after loosing my very much loved Nora. Thank God for these wonderful ladies.

Hello JR, and staff, - $$$$$$$$$$ + $$$$$$$$$$ = double CARRIE'S SALARY
(Sorry, Vic ... no one make a wage in FSSNOC! Ha! Ha! Two times ZERO is still ZERO!
I just read TN 159 cover to cover and have a suggestion. Double Carrie's salary and have her write more often. What do you think? (Hey, you Thumper News readers might try doubling the compliments! It could work... -#000)
Hope you are doing well.
Have fun, thump often and safely. Vic Force, #3701, NC

photo above - Smile. Click. I spotted this at a local car/motorcycle show, see another such find on the History Page next door... the pic is of a 2008 WHIZZER - Reinvented back in 1998, originally in 1939, this is recognizable by most motorbikers as the original moped, at least in this country anyway? Should you enjoy procuring one of the original types, get back with me, I know of one currently for sale...
In the early 2000's, I made a trip to Wichita to text ride and purhase one of these bikes to ride across America. And, yes, it IS a Four-Stroke Single!
Today, I couldn't get the internet to tell me how many cc it was but I'm gonna say - 108cc ... anyone know for sure, again, this is a 2008.
Did I ride it across the USA? NO. The power was good, it looked good ... but the brakes were really over-taxed, at least that was my determination at the time ... darn! Another adventure missed!!! - #000 (Don't forget the Event Page and the Club Store Page and if you'd like to apply for FSSNOC membership, go to the Membership Application Page as well - have a good week, see you next Thursday Evening or later into the week, it's your opportunity to join in the fun without leaving your house - Keep On Thumpin' - Jack, #000.
