1984 flhp shovel or new triumph/Vote
Original Message   Feb 3, 2005 8:51 pm
Im torn. That police special looks nice and only 1000 miles on the top end.I could buy a new Triumph bonneville or that new Thruxton for the same price.Lets hear some opinions.

Steve

Heres the Triumph Thruxton.Police special isBirch white of course....and very clean

Sorry Steve, but I'm confused. What's a 1984flhp? Florida Hiway Patrol? Honda 750?

Anyway, I like Triumph, classic man!

If it's classic you're after, the Triumph in your choice of paint.

If the two below are yellow and then green, either is fine. But if the bottom one is black, I say go with the yellow. Black just doesn't represent the traditional British colors.

Hawk....
What about one of these babies.
That's Lester my AA sponsor....He uses it too pick us up when we are too drunk too drive.
Obviously.... Lester has had a little more success with the program than the rest of us.

 Hawk,
Bill and I were roomates in collage.
That ended when I caught him stealing my drinking money too feed his coffee addiction.

Wow Moe!
You have the 2002 special colletors edition of the mug.
You are truely a man with taste and sophistication.
I looked it up on the "Fine Stein's of the World" site. They are blue booking that sucker at $2.79 in mint condition! The prices on this stuff is skyrocketing!
I get my "Nat" in the convienent 40 oz. size, wrapped in the attractive brown paper bag. It doubles as a cooler and has condensation protection built in.
I paricularly like the special offer we have here in Michigan.....If I return 10 empty bottles too the retailer.....they give me a fresh bottle of "the Nat" absolutely free! You can't beat that for value.

As a babe, I only got milk out of my bottle(plain old glass one to boot!)

Good to see you got weaned over to the good stuff eventually!

Yep Moe,
I remember the day (barely) that I made  mom and pops so proud too see me get up off my knees, stumble down the hallway too the bathroom and take my first 5 minute leak....all by myself!
And now that we screwed up Steve's thread so badley.......
Here is one from my collection (that one is not mine....mines on my bench in pieces for the last few years)
But it is nice example of some Brit-iron that some might not be familiar with.

Nice BSA 'lint.I thought about getting one of those 441 victors.Gotta love a thumper.I think I am going with the British machine.My midlife crisis is telling me to go cafe than just sit there and let a shovel move everything to my lower intestines.

Yea Holmes,
Nice "Photoshop" job with the babies head superimposed over yours.
If it wasnt for the razorburn....we would have almost fallen for the "tender moment" sentiment.

Steve, I am surprised at you, not recognizing a quality mammary milk factory when you see one, you should be ashamed     

Besides, that was on a Tuesday, I only kiss ass on Thursdays.
