Actually one of my house mates when I first left home had a Triton, which was painted silver with a blue frame. Triumph 650 engine as I recall in a Norton "featherbed" frame. In the days when three and four cylinder motorbikes were just coming onto the scene, (The first Kawasaki triple would have been called a "widowmaker", but no one who rode one lived long enough to get married), they were the duck's nuts.Quote:
Triton .....
An engineering student at what was then the Queensland Institute of Technology went one better and built a "Nortina". Same Norton frame, but with a turbocharged Cortina GT motor....hard to see let alone keep up with.
Where's the connection to this forum you ask?
Well, what WOODEN
I have given to have owned one of them.
Tritons used to rule!!! :D :D :D
Cheers,

What were we talking about in the first place????
Oh yeah, CYCLONES - those things can suck up a Triton in a minute :D :D :D
He fitted a Cortina 1500cc motor into a motor bike frame? And the GT version at that? My brother had a Cortina GT when they first came out, they were hot then and they would still take a bit of beating even now.
Never mind how long it takes a Triton to suck, those Cortinas were great. I wouldn't mind mind having one today. In fact, cars haven't really improved all that much over the last 20 or 30 years.
Hang on Stinky,Quote:

I have, but where do I get a 6" Cortina?
Al
A Cortina would fit in a 6" duct, but WOODEN go down the spiral in the cyclone.
Love and kisses to all.

Anyone remember that joke about why women can't reverse park a cortina?
(hint. It's to do with 6" ;) )
Maybe it's because all your tools are really old. :pQuote:

It's too politically incorrect and rude and poor would have to censure me(no I don't mean censor :D ) and delete the whole post. Sorry I mentioned it, but it's to do with guys telling their girl, wife, lover etc that 6" is the length of a certain body part, so women always get measurements wrong as a result of believing what they're told ;)
Ah, now I remember it. I just didn't associate with Cortinas, I thought that it was to do with VWs. and Porches
Nope - the owner is not a spring chicken but most of the tools are (except for the small collection in the cabinet)Quote:

I seem to remember making an observation about that in the thread on metric measurements, and how I've never seen body parts measured in mm although I did have a neighbour once (true story) who had both his lower legs amputated as a result of diabetes and told everyone that he had gone metric:- "no feet".Quote:

Now look, I don't mind slipping you greenies, but everytime someone gives you a blue, I have to burn another 20 green (I don't do blue) till I can counteract it.....AHHHH I'm going to be here all night!
OK I know, I can only give away ten a day, so it'll be THREE days till I can get back.
Hang on Stinky....I'm comingggggg!!! :)

I saw this inspirational speaker once, his surname was Curtis, who had no legs and he told everyone how the chicks loved him-he was the only guy they knew -who would never walk out on them and whose willy reached the ground when he was standing up. :DQuote:
