Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

I kind of guessed as much!!!

 

Same here yesterday, 23/24 and its winter here ! but the nights are down to 4 / 8 degrees with the odd -1 or -2 to make the mornings interesting....

 

Although the photo does flatter it a bit, it is in fairly good nick for it's age. It's just shame I don't ride it much.
Over the years I've done what I wanted to it, i.e. Ohlins rear shock, Ohlins front springs, Brembo radial brakes, Fork brace (allegedly solid titanium) and other bits and pieces.
Currently debating what to do with it.
Now I've got the Speed, I'm thinking of maybe selling it and getting a 4 to 5 year old Bonnie to tinker with in the garage.

 

If you sell it, you will only regret it and always want another one.

That looks remarkably like the 1200 Bandit I bought new in '96. Great bike.

 

Probably, I'm 3 of the previous owners count
But I'm using it less and less now.
I don't need the money as such, but I could do with the space, if I want to get another bike....

Decisions Decisions

 

Just finished putting a new X-ring chain on my Tiger - first time I've done one in 20 yrs (Scottoiler user).

Went like a piece of cake as a pal gave me the chain breaker/riveter tool.

 

I've had two other before this one.

First was a red one in 96, then a black one and finally this one.
This one was the unfaired version when I bought it (with the mandatory twin bates set up .)
I put a fairing on it, plus the Ohlins kit and it had a full Givi kit as well for most of it's life.
Since I've stopped using it for touring, I've removed the fairing and the Givi kit, uprated to radial brakes and M/C and done a few other little bits.
If I sell it, I'll probably put it back to std and sell the good bits seperately.

 

I have been tinkering

Small steps rather than strides, but my project is moving on... project update to follow later on

 

Today I'm chilling after riding back from a weekend in Cumbria (Silloth) went to the Ragnarock Rally the Exiles put on, had a good weekend and much better weather than was expected, So busy recovering lol

 

Just been for a short bimble to check how the bike feels after installing a new chain and sprockets set yesterday.

All is good !!

 

Been to taunton, derby and now Cardiff this weekend! All in the car
Did see loads of lucky buggers on their bikes though! Soon crispey.....soon

 

Been up to Newcastle for the weekend (visiting family), great run up and back in the car, loads of bikes out on the A69 coming home today. Had a spare hour on Saturday so me and the wife headed for Newcastle Truimph, bugger got there and it was all closed up; I assume it has moved since the last time I was in Newcastle. Never mind, got out for a meal and a few beers so all in all not a bad weekend, even if we travelled in the car.

Time for a new front tyre, so a Saturday morning trip to Launceston Tyre Co.
Would recommend giving them a try if you're anywhere close. Reasonable price, has matched better prices when I've had them, nice chap & triumph friendly!
Nice full English at The Pie Stop just around the corner.

 

It is nice and cool in the forest now. Great riding!
And the water lilies are blooming...


Don't look for the bike. It is not in the picture

 

Oh dear it's not in water is it?

 

Triumph Subville T120
