Paul Harrell on the Colt Walker (for beginners)

[Mark_Mark]

The first bike I ever rode on was a BSA. I had a Bonneville T120 in the 70s and still have a '69 Daytona chopper basket case in the basement. I love my SMLE, too!



Sorry Mark_Mark, but the "real" Triumphs were l-o-n-g gone by 2001! You had a very nice motorcycle bearing the same name (with about three times the horsepower!).

fuel Injected too! and a cool single swing arm!

That sure is mysterious, why would Dude, with no prior argument, just get in his truck and drive through someone's camp fire, and then come back for another run at it? That makes no sense at all, other than Mills being totally bull-goose looney-off his rocker. ? I don't get it.

Sometimes there are no reasons. Guy in my club was a pretty passive bloke. Bit of a loner, but nothing scary. Used to tell a lot of tall tales.
One day he took it into his head to murder a woman in the woods, then drove back into town, whereupon he killed a further fifteen people, including his mum, and wounded another fifteen,. Then he slotted himself, as they almost always do.

uuuggghhhhh! Colt Walker?

No, a combination of guns including an M1 carbine, Norinco AK-alike, and a Beretta 9mm, A chap by the name of Michael Ryan in a town called Hungerford..
It initiated the UK semi-automatic rifle ban in 1988. Followed up by that nonce in Dunblane in 1996 which led to the modern handgun ban.

CRAZY!!!

CRAZY!!!

The event carried on for most of the day - with a lot of fumbling of the ball by the police.

A friend from another gun forum I'm on, got a huge Triumph tattoo on his leg. I met him in person in Baghdad back in 2011.
I'm on the left.

Oh that's funny, I had a Triumph T-Shirt once. I had a Harley tattoo at one time, but later had all my tats removed. What you want printed on your body at one age, (early 20-something) is not the same as a later age.

My son and daughter-in-law were in the sandbox around that time, maybe a bit later. (both Army)

Year ain't over yet.

He’s not that bad… just very sure about himself

Paul puts more work into his videos than 20 others put together.

That's good for him but I'm not very sure of himself. He isn't terrible but I'm not a fan.

The man definitely knows stuff. He’s paid in.

In Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King, Martini Henry’s were what the protagonists were smuggling into Kafiristan. Via camels.

Mentioned in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, too.

That rifle got around.
