Re: [T TBS R] New guy loking for some info

> How do you like the three into three?

Love it, although I am glad I've got another one with just the Triumph Offroads
on it. The 3 into 3 is LOUD.

> this is the nosiest motor I've ever owned.

Same here.

> Got a set of bar end mirrors coming too. I can't get used
> to these stock ones....

I just pull my elbows in to check.

> Having trouble with finding the right gear to run
> through town in.

Most of the time I'm in fourth in town.

> What's with 6th gear? is it just an over drive?

In my opinion it's just useless weight. These bikes could get along fine with
five or even four well spaced gears.
