Calm down Texas cowboy. If you have some facts to support your idea about Thruxton having 70 RWHP stock (which you don't cause it simply isn't so), please present them. I understand that your sole purpose with this is to try making it into a slanging match. Well, I won't bite that bullet.

If you want to go on about it with your nonsense some more please do, I really don't care which. Be my guest.

To other forum members, I'm sorry to have been dragged in to this the way it turned out, it surely wasn't my intention. I just wanted to give input on some mods I've done to my '02 790 Bonneville.
Enough said, time to move on...



Well, well, well. Okay, boy. I believe I shall retort (since I'm your guest and all). No one was "slanging" until you tossed it out. Furthermore, do not assume you know me or my sole purpose, cuz you don't know me, skippy. But, since you're new, I won't make an example of you this time, but I will answer your challenge to document my claims (yes, son, I do have facts). I'm not the type to talk out of my hole under the guise and ambiguity that a forum can provide, just to be a big man- a straw man. You see, I'm genuine and honest all the time. Ambiguity does not serve me. However, you, dear boy, are a fool. The next time you want to punk someone out, be sure you have done your homework as well...

So to address your childish post (and pay attention this time- I won’t repeat myself- again):

Both times I've said BHP. That would be break horse power. That would be at the crank and is advertised in several places. Below are a few:

Sorry for my response to have taken so long- I've been out of town- or I would have PWNED you sooner. Now, sugar-britches, apologize and go make me a sandwich.


To the rest of you- enjoy... lol.
