Avion and I met up on our Triumph 800 Cubbettes to do our regular Sunday morning run. We reached the venue OK and happened to meet up with the MD of Triumph SA who was on his 1200 Explorer
and a couple of other Trumpey riders whom I know quite well
The breakfast was great and we set off for home.
We stopped at our favourite spot, by the large oak trees in the Cradle of Humankind- UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We only left them alone for a couple of minutes, but the inevitable occured-
the,
the dreaded
All hell broke loose. The screeching, wailing and hissing were unbelievable. Those claws aren't long but they're razor sharp and they were flailing with intent. Avion & I jumped in and we managed to eventually separate them.
But what a mess, and we had to clear it up quickly because we could feel the rumblings of a H.O.G. rideout in the vicinity and we couldn't stand the shame of the men in chaps seeing this feeble Cubbette handbags-at-five-paces nonsense!
Some serious scolding was performed and the ultimate threat issued- that if they don't start behaving we'll ride each other's bikes within an inch of their lives (the length of the Krugersdorp Freeway @ 10,000 rpm). It seemed to do the trick....

Nice one Dave
, aided & abetted no doubt by the fact that the Ducati riders were a complete pair of plonkers. But it was still pretty COOL.
, is only 3 weeks old and has to share a garage with a disgruntled old Daytona (simply known as Duchess cos she's a grand old dame) that's got most of her internals and tubing all over the garage floor. She's a young lady of class (but a right little bitch when I'm not looking) pretending to look the other way. Yeah, I've got my eye on her....
i know my tiger 900 DONNA ( AKA... donna upset her or she bites ) was done at young age , hence why she put a bit of waight on compered to the 800tiger
Dave I love the original pics of the CATFIGHT! Very very well done!
