it had a funny sound, like it wanted to roar but it was small ... it
was fast as hell - i got lucky with a long redlight

http://tiny.cc/bike142

my best guess is a triumph because of the spacing between the rear
tire and the frame, but i've never seen nobby tires on anything but a
dirtbike

(and i only know that because i ride by a triumph every morning on the
way to work)

this is a triumph dirt bike ... same thing? (i just googled that)


the guy who hasn't been able to adjust his idle screw in over 6
months,

p.s. RAM double-articulated camera mount = fucking awesome way to
spend $38

No. Different frame, different front forks, different engine.

i didn't mean the same bike exactly, but the proportions and the space
under the seat seemed similar
