Title: You wouldnt believe what my rider did...
Post by: tshowrench on August 02, 2004, 10:40:00 PM
Tristan, knowing what a nut I am for Brit bikes, basically cleans out his bank account and buys me a cherry 1979 Triumph Bonneville 750!

Im floored... This is a 15 year old kid that works at cycle gear full time.. Saving up money to buy a car... And he goes and does this...

Damn near made me cry it felt so damn cool that he appreciates the 100 plus hours a month that I spend prepping that bike...

Thanks Tshow

Will

A young man showing that kind of gratitude and respect will reap benefits ten-fold. Must be from the south.

Believe it or not folks, Tristan is from California.  He is probably one of the nicest, most humble, and extremely fast and smooth teen-racers I have ever seen.  This kid is for real and for all you east of AZ folks coming out for Vegas in September, this is one of our kids to watch.  Tristan- that is very cool what you did and smart too.  Will is going to have to really bust his hump for the next couple of years for this!  -C
