    Yesterday on the T120 Black - Nottingham to Llangollen via Stoke/Whitchurch/Ellesmere. A ride on the steam railway there, then onto Betws-y-Coed, a stop to inspect Swallow Falls, then tea in Bedgellart, a ride to Llanberis and back along the pass, then back to Nottingham the way I came.
    The A5 between Llangollen and Betws is a great road when quiet (as it was yesterday). Some good twisties either end and long straights in between.

    Well, she's gone. After a hiccup with the engine light (because the battery went flat), her new owner rode off into the distance a couple of hours ago.

    Now to decide what to buy next. It'll be aircooled and not a sportbike.

    I like the idea of a Bonne, but the one's I've seen are out of my prospective price range.

    Right now, I'm probably looking to get another Guzzi California, like one I've had before. Or I may wait till the end of the trackday season, sell my R6 as well, and look at a classic racing Triumph or Guzzi then.

    I don't want to rush into a decision. Did that before and always regretted it.

    I was so in tune with myself that I even washed the bike, without having procrastinated about any other little job I should do! Shiny Trumpet... :cool:

    One on each side of the belly pan. Not normally a sticker kinda fella, but it's subtle enough for me. (If ya can call giving the "bird" subtle)

    Nothing :( Seems Triumph's definition of "in stock" is different to mine. The T100 I ordered a month ago that my dealer suggested I'd get by late June will now be only just in June. He now thinks it's probably still in a container on the sea somewhere so we both agreed "in stock" was garbage. What's gutting is I know the next nearest dealer had one on their showroom floor so I could have been riding one for three weeks by now.

    That is a real bummer, just goes to show the benefits of having a shop around. Hope you get your new ride soon.

    Took advantage of the longest day and the fact that I had two new tyres (Bridgestones instead of the stock Metzelers).
    Run down through the Meon Valley to Mick's Burger Van on Portsdown Hill and a long way back home calling in at Loomies for a late cuppa - 9.45pm - and then home.

    New goggles are brilliant - made me realise how bad the old ones are!

    Strictly speaking, not a Triumph, But I did take my Bandit 12 in to Bulldog Triumph for it's MOT today. Passed no problem, but a bit embarrassing at only having done 400 miles on it in a year ! :pensive:

    Still working at the job in Over Wallop, so round the corner to the Apache cafe at Middle Wallop for lunch.
    Look, I parked next to a BMW and another bike! :grinning::grinning:
