 that sucks! I haven't notice anything in mine but one good story on the engine of the Triumph Tiger 100 GP that was actually a ex-stock air borne generator engine. As it was used in a plane it had to be light and had ample finning for cooling. When the war ended Triumph found that they had some engines which the RAF did not require anymore. Well the rest is in the link.

No problem                                                                   Many may not have seen a Triumph GP let alone ride one as not many were produced. The Triumph T100 GP was my first bike which my late father bought for me after my Senior Cambridge. I did not know that the motorcycle I had was special as my father had bought it used from a friend. I thought it was a normal T100 until one day when I stopped at Looi Motors then located at where the Singapore GP was held. I went there to see a Norton Commando which was offered for sale. The shop was run by Looi Im Hock who used to race in the 50’s and 60’s. As I was about to park in front of the shop, Looi started yelling to his friend there ‘Triumph GP’, whilst pointing to my bike. Some motorcyclists came out of the shop and started surrounding my bike. My face turned pale as my bike was not really in prestine condition and oil was leaking all over. As a student studying there I was on a cost saving mode. Anyway after that incident I look up every book and magazine to find out about the GP and what I found out surprised me.

The engine of the Triumph Tiger 100 GP was actually ex-stock air borne generator engine. As it was used in a plane it had to be light and had ample finning for cooling. When the war ended Triumph found that they had some engines which the RAF did not require anymore.They decided to put the engine in a rigid frame, attached a close ratio gearbox and fitted a sprung hub at the rear for smooth riding. Light material was used extensively.

Oddly enough the first thing i clicked on and read was his atheism stuff, not the motorcycle stuff.
Why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to god one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.

My stepson has one of those. I expect one day they will need to scrape him off the road with a shovel. Irony is, he is a Fireman, and see all the accidents.
