Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Any obvious reason for crash?

 

Reading does have a HA chapter, Wessex

 

I got some Heli-tape, Rino,today. Anyone used this on their tank,any problems?

 

I am lead to believe if you heat it it comes off easily and if you wet it it goes on easily?

 

Always sad to hear about any accident, heart goes out to family and friends of the poor soul; RIP.

The joys of motorcycling!
Mindst you being stuck in a car in 10 miles of traffic is no fun either.
Let's hope you enjoy Fishguard.

 

Today, I'll be mostly replacing chain and sprockets on the Speedy. Some quality time on the tools

 

Put some pics up when you've finished Tony.

 

Be going out for a bimble soon, to test out my new jacket and boots (birthday pressies).

 

Don't forget frogs and penguins.

 

Sorry, just seen this and it's done....Wasn't totally straight forward though. Managed to break the tip when trying to push one of the rivet link pins out. Ended up using an angle grinder to grind the pin ends off. Loads of sparks
!
Now need to buy a new chain breaking and riveting tool, any recommendations?

 

Mine is about 60 years old, but I believe biglad may have just bought one.
Draper should be okay for what you want.

 

I went to put on Heli-tape and tank pad only when I started the bike the throttle was sticking a bit so oil the cables and regreased the grip ( which was dry) and everything good again.
The heli-tape went on easily, wet your hands and the tank and the tape, both sides and keep everything wet, and its good to use even peeling back and reapplying when needed
The new pad looks the dogs. I had put on a transparent one, the problem is it showed every mistake in application where as a design doesnt show where you touched the glue etc.

Early morning ride to Lee on the Solent. USS George HW Bush is moored in Stokes Bay cos it's too big to fit in Portsmouth Harbour!

 

Stokes bay is just round the corner from my dads took a picture there a couple of years back with the Theodore Roosevelt behind me!

HA HA forgot the image!!

 

I know a good chippie in Lee on the Solent. Spent nine months working at HMS Sultan just round the corner from there and living in the Holiday Inn at Fareham during the week so getting out and about was a must.

 

I didn't know you had one of those Steve !!! What is it ?

 

sorry tbird 1600, loaner while Doris was being serviced, once I got used to my feet having to be 3 ft in front of me it was a fun bike to ride!! Or do you mean the boat? Not mine I'm afraid, but what fun I could have had if it were !!

 

Just been in my garage to start checking my bike over ready for the weekend and the Yorkshire pudding rally
Started by putting the tow bar on then tyre pressures which are holding pressure after what happened the other week the day before the GMU ???
Then spotted the stickers I got from havit (cheers Wayne) and got sidetracked

Stickers first!....checks later eh??
