Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

That's it done
All fabrication complete except 4 holes to drill when I offer it up to my speedmaster
Then cut and round off the mounting points to get the desired length and height
Might paint it day glow orange or something so I'm not tempted to leave it on the bike
Next is the trailer!
Anyone got a cheap car roof box I can have?
My budget is 0 but might raid my tyre money for the right box

 

Coming along nicely there, mate. Looking forward to seeing the finished article fitted.

 

Is that the road that becomes Mortimer or Montgomery Rd at the other end where it links up to the A628, dead smooth, narrow, twisty, up hills, down hills, over bridges, through forests, in short, an absolute peach of a road ?

 

Yes, Mortimer Road. It used to be feckin awful before it was resurfaced for the TDY, you were bounced out of the seat at 40 mph even on the longer straight bits. Now you can, ahem, make a bit more progress.

 

Me and the Mrs were both off today, so decided to take a run up to Glencoe
This is why i love it so much....



Always stop of at the Clachaig when I'm up here,this is the "Boot Bar" round the back,at the weekends they have live music playing and it's mobbed!


headed up to Fort William, then turned off at Spean bridge onto the A86 (If Carlsberg made roads)..imo the best road in Scotland!

Dam at Loch Laggan

From the side of the road you can just make out the house from Monarch of the glen,there is a lay by so you can clamber down to the shore to get a better view

 

As you can see I've finished the fitting of my tow bar
Made it so that I can fit sissy bar and pillion seat if needed
Now I have to take it back off for painting
The more observant of you will notice I've cut the mud guard and made my own number plate mounting out of a piston and con rod with prison bar rear light and indicators
I'm well chuffed with the outcome think it looks cool and more of the badass look I'm going for ☠️

Awesome photos, great roads and scenery, I have an annual trip to Blair Atholl and it is that scenery and those roads that ensure I keep coming back.

 

you got folks in Blair Atholl?

 

No, half my family is from Aberceen so I visit there regularly, my wife and I enjoy hill walking and we stumbled on Blair about 6 years ago after visiting other parts of the Cairngorms, loved the place and continued to go up there for the walking and scenery, easy to get to Fort William, Aviemore, Blair is my favourite place to visit for sure.

Have yet to go up there on the bike though, my wife doesn't do bikes!!

 

when you say Blair do you mean Blairgowrie as that's what everyone calls it,i've never heard Blair Atholl getting called Blair before..although maybe visitors do!..nice run from Blair Atholl down to loch Tummel and up Queens view

 

Blimey, the std pegs hit the deck if you dress to the wrong side as it is, those must limit the lean a fair bit

 

Sorry Doug, no I did mean Blair Atholl, damn visitors just go around calling places whatever they want!!

Know Loch Tummell pretty well, lots of nice walks. I must get up there on the bike to enjoy the roads.

 

I will open up that vote as most envied person on this forum!??
You b*st*d

 

That is looking really good, bet you cannot wait to test it out.

Cheers Wessa
It's for convenience mate and when not in use won't be staying on the bike
I like going to rallies and this is on and off in no time at all
Like Tez said makes the packing and unpacking a lot easier

 

Yep noticed that rear light straight away, looks great and very different
tow bar's looking great mate, keep up the good work

 

Yep I get that. I'm sure it will get lot's of use once you get your trailer sorted. Keep up with the progress reports and pictures.
Wessa

 

Glad you've got her back.

Had the same when I got my gsxr back after 3 months with the insurance!!

How are the evotech levers?

 

Having a ball. this bike (stock photo)

is superb, just when I hit the twisties and start wanting more aggressive gearing and drop bars, I realise Ive been out for 2hours and have no wrist or bum pain, then on to the main road and off we go .
I think a couple of times to I nearly came close to breaking the speed limit.
did a route through Huntly then Inverurie to Drumoak and on to Aboyne then Dinnet Huntly and home 3/4 a tank and 145 miles. on hairpins and corkscrews past pine woods and crofts. The weather was sunny when I left the house then smirry all day , couldnt keep the smirk off my face
