[05.21.2018.]欧盟官员奔走挽救伊核协议 伊朗回应:有待观望[新华网]应对美国“退群”，欧洲三大国联手中俄挽救伊核协议[环球时报]巴以衝突升級,巴勒斯坦總統阿巴斯再次住院;不向霸权屈服！普京刚刚强硬表态，给叙利亚吃了颗定心丸[但以理書 9:26]必有一王的民來毀滅這城[the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city]和聖所。[JOEL 2:20] the northern army.[以西結書 38:6]歌篾人和他的軍隊，北方極處[the far north]的陀迦瑪族和他的軍隊，這許多國的民都同著你。[MICAH 3:12]所以因你們的緣故，錫安必被耕種像一塊田，耶路撒冷必變為亂堆[heaps of ruins]，這殿的山必像叢林的高處。Gog and his multitude, of the land of Magog, are NOT the Russians. Gog is the Assyrian chief prince of Nimrod. Assyria is currently and physically located in the earth’s mantle and in the sea of the Earth, which is the blessed work of the Lord Jesus’ hands for obliterating Israel on the Day of the Lord when Egypt’s all-out civil war suddenly breaks out, just in a moment the Syrian peace treaty is suddenly signed and fully implemented for the political settlement. And, there are some Tyrians currently living in the northern waters, especially in the East Siberian Sea. Those Tyrians living in the East Siberian Seaare at least 3-meter tall in height, who are the people of the unidentified submerged objects of the sea of the Earth. [Zechariah 9:4] Tyre’s power in the sea (of the Earth). And, Gog is the prince of the northern army of Assyria.

Triumph 955i Speed Triple

My old Speedy from 2002 - these are now youngtimer models. Browsing the motorcycle market for a well kept one as a basis of a restomod project.

Triumph 955i Speed Triple - an old favorite from 2002 -2010.

It still raises the question: „What have they been thinking with the rear section of this motorcycle?“ Maybe the designer was a Sir Mix-a-lot fan… (The low drag aerodynamics argument does no make sense for this particular rear section given the „gothic cathedral“ aerodynamics of the front end of this motorcycle…)

Today I would not go again for carbon and plastic parts, but rather spend that money on upgraded suspension parts - a Wilbers 641 shock and maybe an Andreani cartridge - and a radial brake pump. Maybe also the end can would have to go, but after a while I liked the sheer f-u attitude of having such an outrageously long item on a motorcycle. („Is there an extension kit for an even longer end can?“)

Changing to a 43 teeth chain wheel for a shorter gearing.

The 595n 955i Speed Triple originally has the 18/42 teeth gearing identical to that of the 955i Daytona with 147 hp and a v-max of 260 km/h. At nominal 120 hp and roughly 225 km/h top speed sans fairing the original gearing is way too tall. The 43 chain wheel should provide better drive and also less wear on the chain. With a 106 pieces chain the excenter has to be turned into a forward position for the chain to have the required minimum of slack, which somewhat lowers the back a bit more than anticipated. On top, the shorter gearing needs to be approved by the TÜV to keep things street legal.
