Congrats!
With the DGR on May 19, it does not look like my Thruxton FE will be here.
If I ride it, I may just put a sign on the Tracer 9GT stating that it identifies as a Thruxton FE.
An acquaintance in Quebec, took delivery of his Thruxton FE last Friday, so they must be getting close.
It would be ironic if the US got them last because the gauges need to use our retarded imperial measurement system instead of the metric system the rest of the world uses!
Yes, the US came to be because it revolted against England, but we're sticking with the measurement system they gave us, even though they abandoned it long ago.
Super ironically, one of the only industries in America that has completely converted to the metric system is the illegal trade in cocaine. Somehow, the Mexican and SA cartels have convinced their US subsidiaries to switch, and everyone from importers to street level dealers seems to manage grams and kilograms just fine, but the rest of the country could never acclimate to a kilometer instead of a mile.
Update
The Thruxton FE has landed at Mom’s South
Can't wait to see that FE!Originally Posted by SteveM
Who buys only a gram anymore? At least 1/8 oz. or nothing'...
Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
dam mericans, just grab 4 grams...
And congrats on the new bike, ENJOY!
