Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Breaks my heart to say but... tried to sell it. Noone seems to want Daytona 955is though.

Its a great bike, I'm just not clicking with it at all. Got it set up suspension wise, fitted a double screen, but it just isn't 'my' bike.

Looking to sell it for as close to what I paid as I can get, or swap for something more interesting.

 

Found it! Thanks!

 

It's called Knowlton church and is about 6 miles north of Wimborne. The village of Knowlton no longer exists but it is an English Heritage property so you can find details on their site. The two yew trees at the back of the circle are used as a pagan shrine apparently!

 

Right. That SHOULD be me all carboned up.




Carbon headlight bowls courtesy of conquest. Holes required drilling out (that's nearly always the case regardless the manufacturer) but better too small than too large. I think they look smashing.

Afternoon bimble up to Padstow with SWMBO

 

Oh man........ there's somethings that once seen they can never be unseen .......no matter how hard you try!! My eyes, my eyes!!!!!

Should have been riding today but hungover this morning so had some coffee and decided to make a start on the wiring for my speedmaster tow bar.....first find the wiring...got it
Then snip and bare the wiring
Next soldering shrink wrap and tidy away ......you wouldn't know I'd been in there used a floating socket which I snaffled from work and mounted on R/H throttle body
Tested with a trailer board which I had to buy from work £13 (couldn't get it in my pocket) all lights working as they should Blends in well don't you think? Fitted newly painted tow bar and made a lead to suit bit unsure about the cable hanging the way it is....but hey lift off the side panel and tuck it in there....sorted! Lots of smilies on this because that's how it went today.....took a while but turned out well
Got to disassemble the trailer board and use the lights and cable for my trailer then get some suitable stickers and that should be about it
Maybe I should do everything with a hangover

 

Good work there Dilligaf, very neat.
Gotta say, I've never heard of / seen s floating socket.

 

Dilligaf what the fook, still got the air horn in??? Take it out, let it breathe, even if only a smidgen better !

 

Are you planning on parachuting in Winglad ?

No you won't have.
It's because it 'floated' from diligafs work to his bike FOC.

 

Not a bad idea!

But:
Last time, I went to the back of the plane and fumbled with the door handle, the flight attendant gave me a lengthy lecture on pressurized cabins, hipoxia (WTF) and so on and so forth...
She was nice though: she offered me to jump out, once the plane came to a full stop at the gate ,
which I did.
Well I can tell you: parachute would not open and the freefall was boring as hell.
But my fellow travellers had a jolly good time

 

Loud is good helps people know when I'm coming!! Trailer is coming on nicely you'll have to fit a cooler for your beers too

 

Top marks dilligaf.
A job well done, particularly with an hangover.
You might just need a bit of ant-rattle material between your floating socket hanging clip.

 

Winglad, is this what you had in mind?

 

Yeah mate it's on the cards....been a bit busy with other things

 

Believe me when I say I definitely won't hear any rattling.....cocktail shakers

 

Yes mate, would have been a nice entrance to the GMU.... Right!?
On second thought: I'd probably been sieved by air-rifle fire aimed at me by a Scottish boy scout squad before reaching the ground...


EDIT: Got my geography right: staying in Bellingham, we are not yet in Scottland. But I am sure,
as scouts go, they also have reconnoitring troups sent across the border.

 

Cheers, they did check my spine in A&E but already have a collapsed disc between L24 and L25 also a gammy leg from a big bike off 45 years ago trouble is as you know these things come back to bite you as the years pass. I have now got a contractor coming to finish the work that I started, should have done it in the first place!
As you said it could have been worse, I might have landed on my head although I probably wouldn't have damaged anything that way
