Midday sun, lighting's not too good.



Got the tank off e-bay from a member known at tatkin. Haven't seen him post for a while. $122 delivered. I think with the original yellow tank, it went faster.

Why would you remove the best color combination available in the Triumph line?

I bought a black America for my wife a couple of weeks ago. Within 45 minutes I can now have Yellow/Black, Red/Gray or a Black Speedmaster or America. I think I could get confused.

The red ones are only faster in Sweden. Here in the states the yellow and black go fastest.

Ah c'mon Ray, you know you need to put some silver on your tank for it to go faster still.....ask Grzegorz too....he'll agree with me!

Yeah, why would anyone hang a big black boat anchor like that from such a beautiful tank?! I just don't get it I guess....
