Re: 2 cylinders better than 3?

["Clive Liddell" <cliddell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim,
Just to say hello to a near neighbour...  Motocycle Centre here handles
Triumph and has had them in stock from when the present 3's came out but I
have not tested one (they have chains!).  There are quite a few running
round here and they look good.

BTW my folk farmed at Harrismith and I (think I still) have relations at
Clarens.

Regards
