Re the article about triples...yes, but I have to admit that singles feel better to me followed by some twins (2 pots a mile!)
here comes the heresy and hypocrisy (there is an argument here that harley owners should nt be allowed to vote :wink: ): from time to time I still have to ride some harleys for tuning purposes (106cid and 135rwhp) and if they have plenty of compression and in tune they are a good sound, even though i hate to admit it (T-shirt says "If Harleys made aeroplanes, would you ride in 'em?"

(& 1st to do a surface traverse across Antarctica,
in good Kiwi style - riding a Massey Ferguson farm
tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).
