Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

After a very wet and dirty ride for the last 20 miles to the GMU bunkhouse on Thursday, I clean and polished the speedmaster today. She is looking like a new pin, now tucked up in the garage......

I rode up from Hawes this morning. I left at 0600 and got home at 1400, stopped a couple of times for coffee and a couple for petrol. I was supposed to spend the night in Perth tonight, thing is I wanted home, cos Id had my fun. They seemed not to mind to much when I canceled, theyll probably charge me for it, o well never mind the heart wants and all that. And I am shagged out, I had a great time and covered 1186 miles since last Tuesday.

 

Did you cook or get s take away?

 

I had a great tea last night, Wensleydale sheeps cheese ( who shook up the sheep I dont know) Crusty sour dough bread, Apple chutney, roast beef , and Newcastle Brown Ale.

 

NUDGER went in for his 500mile service today showing a little over 700miles
Went to pick him up after work and Newcastle Triumph had him looking showroom condition again
Wasn’t expecting that and all in all a very pleasant experience
Told Paul the service manager that I was very grateful as I was expecting a busy cleaning night in the garage one day this week
Also told him that every time NUDGER is dirty I’ll find a fault and bring it to them

 

So, SWMBO's not happy, slipped in the shower, bath mat's gone missing apparently............
On the plus side I can really hang off the bike now I've got the new Lorenzo style tank pads fitted.

 

As i just bought the Bike i ajusted the bar and grips.

A nice ride around Snowdonia this morning.

 

Been near 100 degrees last few days more too come

 

Does the headlight stay on when starting
Mine used to go out on my BPOS when starting

 

So whats @La Roca running?

 

Cleaned, oiled, checked, and fuelled. I might have a run tomorrow.

 

Been in the garage with NUDGER trying to work out how to fit a tow bar on his arse end
Gonna take some quite major surgery to get the tow bar I made previously to fit
But I’ve got two weeks to get ready for the Yorkshire pudding rally hope I can get sorted
But if not I’ll refit the top box rack that I made for him and affix a wooden rack on top and just take the bear essentials strapped down

 

Good to hear mate, just got my ticket from A to Z stickers on the hill if you need one !!

 

Already got one mate
Bought it at the Farmyard Rally

 

Just had the old girl sail through her mot!

 

My big boss just bought an 04 Rocket 2300.

 

Fitted a Dart Manta flyscreen to the triple. Its a bit bigger than the OEM. I understand the aesthetics are not to everyone's taste and tbh I'm not sure I like it. The screen unattaches easily enough but leaves a bracket, 100 motorway miles testing tomorrow paid for by work should decide if it a) stays and hope the looks grow on me, b) goes, c) put on when required leaving the bracket, d) modify the bracket so nothing obtrusive left when off but easy to put back on.

 

Been looking at the price of stators and rectifiers for Tracey , gulp!!
