I was of course expressing only my hopes. You only need to see how many HD's come out behind a Road Captain of a sunny day to realise some unpleasant facts of life. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air

See I've had some Renntec stuff. Have in fact. Good it is. That "mover" looks poorly made by comparison. -- 'Hog '06 ST4-S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 '81 R65 Outfit CO2-A load of hot air

The Renntec product looks similar to the image in my jaded memory. It may be well manufactured. It may serve its owners in the manner it is meant to for many years, becoming as valued to them as my mercury Carbtune is to me. I don't know as the video refused to play for me, so I am basing my comparison on a still image only, therefore have limited information. It may well be a shonky pile of loris droppings. -- Bandit 650 GHPOTHUF #30 |
