Re: 2 cylinders better than 3?

hi Clive,

I've bee lurking on this list for the best part of a year now, and have seen
your previous contributions.  Attended the Mustang Rally end of July this
year.  Which is about the closest I've been to PMB for some time.

Often ride to Clarens on a Sunday.  Its a great ride either from this side,
or from yours.  Maybe see you there for a beer one Sunday?

Regards,
Jim Lundberg

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.
