  • As sure as summer follows spring Mr. Bill gets the itch to race me at the drag strip.

    Great to see you guys riding along and chatting. Didn't realize the comment would spark some entertaining Banter between you and Mr Bill. I can see that you are both very competative in a wonderfully freindly way which is very special. What a great way to spend an hr or so in the saddle. But I suppose you need to have that competative spirit to do what you do. You need to have the mindset I am going to win. But I must agree with Mr Bill that you would win every time as the stats don't lie. Sorry Mr Bill. Cheers

      I'm several years older than Mr. Bill and I think he sees some vulnerability 😀

    Great banter between you and Mr Bill, thanks for taking us on a ride to the railway bridge to nowhere 😯🤔😕 The 660 Sport is a nice looking bike, I sort of hoped Triumph would do an upgraded 1050 Sport in the same styling. Perhaps though that would have strangled sales of the Tiger 900.

      One of those videos where it isn't the destination but the journey 😉

    I love the clear blue skies of Idaho. They are one of the top reasons I moved here. Just so you all know, I enjoy drag racing with FCCR even when I loose. But winning does raise the fun factor.

    Love a bit of banter and friendly rivalry. I'm thinking the Tiger Sport 660 would be a great bike. I've been hoping Triumph would put the 765 engine in that bike.
    Sorry I'm late to this video, we've been away in Cornwall to Saddlebags Social ride.

      I hope the weather treated you well on the Saddlebags Social ride, I'm looking from all the vids coming out of the ride. I love the triples.

      @flatcapcaferacer Was great to meet up, but it certainly did rain! With so many UA-camrs there, I'm sure there will be loads of vids of the event

      Roger I race youngsters younger and lighter than me all the time. Mr Bill has a choice who to line up against and I encourage him to line up against someone his own size 😀😀

    I think you should put some rocks in your pocket and race Mr. Bill on the Tigers.

      There is fun to be had at the drag strip but two Tiger 900s geared up doesn't clear the low bar of the giggle meter for me.

    The problem is when you say my Moto Guzzi is faster than your X. You just need to stop right there. The Griso is an awesome bike but it looks faster than it actually runs. I’ve always told people to buy a Moto Guzzi for what it is not what you want it to be. Then you will be happy. My free advice.

      True Ronnie. The other part that gets me shaking my head are the riders who come out to the drag on their mid size sport bike and they think they can match the professional riders ET.
      Sure the pro might get a 10.5 ET but they are lucky to get a 12.5 and then they think something is wrong with their bike.😆😆
      To me Moto Guzzi are sweet and soothing rides at mid to moderate high speeds.
