I can't quite figure out Dave's mindset out EITHER here, Dave???
And so, what say we recap this whole thread here and see if we can see where Dave thinks it might've gone awry, okay Dave?
(I'm soooooo confused now, what with all these Daves here all of a sudden?????!!!!!)
Okay, let see now, this thread was started by a newby who posited that the old Triumphs were superior to the new Triumphs, or at least had "superior performance", RIGHT?!
BUT, because he initially made the misstatement in his opening remark that the newer Hinckley Twins were of 890cc in displacement, his credibility was immediately called into question by a couple of our members here, but, from what I could tell, NOT in a "threatening" manner whatsoever by those first two respondants.
BUT, our new friend "silli" didn't respond BACK in ANY manner AT ALL! Nope, not to say that he possibly mis-typed that "890cc" OR to say that he was under the misconception of the displacement but STILL thinks the older Triumphs have better performance, or as he stated "Grunt". Nope! The dude just disappeared and didn't stick around to defend his supposition, did he Dave...err...DAVES?!
And THEN, that sarcastic jerk, who since he's retired appears to have WAY too much time on his friggin' hands, started "schooling" our new friend in his typical smartazz manner about how much better the newer Triumph twins are as compared to older Meriden produced models, because said smartazz owns both an old AND a new Triumph twin, and thus might know a thing or two about their relative qualities.
BUT, once again, we have to ask...where did the new guy go so he could respond, EITHER in kind with some kind of smartazz answer, which BTW said smartazz would have found VERY entertaining and maybe some kind of mutual correspondence would have probably ensued, especially IF the newby's response was also rooted in some verifiable facts.
And THEN said smartazz began a correspondence in this thread with another member of this website who actually WORKED for Triumph during those Co-Op days in Meriden, and which said smartazz found VERY interesting and informative. And it appears there were a few others who found that information quite interesting also here.
BUT, once again, where was our new friend "silli" to maybe respond to ANY of this???
Cowarded in the corner due to his inability to keep up, MAYBE??? Well...I DON'T KNOW!!! Maybe THAT was it, HUH Daves????
Well, at least one of the Daves here evidently thinks so, HUH?!
Oh yeah, and then that smartazz retiree goes on to defend the newby's intentions and advises AGAINST throwin' him off the website.
(...and then of course said smarrtazz took a shot at another member around here who seems to have a constant problem with the keeping his politics out of this website and related HIM to a troll...HEY! maybe THAT'S where one of the Daves thinks this went awry, HUH?!)
