It was prolly Tekmoe pissed at seeing other triples. :fingure:
Triumph Outcast
Ok, now that I've put this fairing on I keep getting people asking if my bike is a Ducati. I don't mind that as much as back when they thought it was a Buell, but the downside now is that the cruiser crowd seems to be turning it's collective nose up at it assuming I'm a squid because I've got a fairing.
So, today over lunch I was riding along to Autozone and the opposite way come two 1050 Speed Triples! I turn around and follow them. Both aren't wearing helmets, one has a Buell backpack and a custom license plate which essentially says Punisher, and he's got a cut little punisher sticker on his plastic tag tail thingy the 1050's have. I roll up behind them at a stop light and they totally ignore me. I don't know if it was the helmet or the fairing, but this annoyed me. SO, as we get rolling I whipped past and ripped open my nice new and LOUD uncorked Zard as I pass them. Hopefully, they weren't total twats and couldn't recognize my bike from the side or rear.
Anyone else have this experience with people on Triumphs?

Guess you'll have to upgrade to a 1050, or take that fairing off ;D

Nah, thats not the solution. I'm just annoyed at how shallow people can be.
What did ya expect from a couple a' 1050 snobs.....
I think you may have been more successful conveying your superiority with a bitchin wheelie & the Zard screaming. :smitty:
Dang :squid:'s

Not all Triumph riders know what previous bikes look like... Even S3 riders.
Or maybe it was just a couple of 1050 snobs. ;D

Nope - only BMW riders and the chopper gang. Any time I see a Triumph there is nothin' but love.
Hard to say what might happen. I have yet to run into another Triumph.
BMW riders as far as im concerned are just a lttle less annoying than the Harley Costume Crowd.
They're Lame! And idiots for not protecting their heads.

I don't like to think of Squids as idiots. I prefer to thank them for taking up all the numbers on statistics studies. :jerkoff:
That would piss me off a little too. The only riders that don't give me any love are a few chopper guys. You know the ones, they go to work in a suit and play billy badass on the weekend. Most riders around here are pretty cool.

Yeah, once I get the bike tuned and get some time to play on the backroads this weekend, I'll consider the wheelie next time. However, it was right in a shopping mall area with cars all over the place and cops in Plano are pretty shitty about that kind of thing. Had a close call with a cop the other day, but his ass caught the red after I made it through with yellow.
