Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Did one of my little routes yesterday on the Street Triple, my house to Glossop, over Woodhead, A616 for a mile or so, right onto Mortimer Rd then right onto the Snake. The Snake was shut at Ladybower reservoir. So went further into Derbyshire, don't know where but it was nice. Eventually saw a sign to Chapel-en-le-Frith which I know so followed the signs to it and knew my way home from there. On the way, saw a guy on a cruiser style bike join the traffic a few vehicles in front of me, he had a sack/bag on his back with his dog in it. Didn't get a good look but the dog seemed happy enough. Stopped to take a pic of my steed:

Today I set out on my Bandit to go to the local Asda. I got what I wanted then decided to do a couple of miles but ended up doing the reverse of what I set out to do yesterday. I stopped at the mobile greasy spoon by Ladybower reservoir and asked the woman why the road was shut yesterday. Sadly she told me that two bikes had shot past and at some stage had collided with a car. They were helicoptered to hospital. Let's hope they both survive intact.

 

Did the dog have a red bandana on and goggles ?

 

Actually a serious question , there is a man on youtube who reviews caravans called andrew ditton , i think , who carries his dog in a rucksack / special dog carrier . Dont know where he's from though .

 

ROYSTON VASEY

 

Unfortunately not , my parents had a caravan near there a couple of years ago and the road works were there then , not sure when it's due to be finished.

 

Ah, so yet another of life's little mysteries!!

 

Thought I would take a ride round the coast road of Norfolk Sunday and I normally end up at Hunstanton for a coffee before heading home. When I got there this lot were there. This is just a few of them.. What the small bike is I have no idea as I could not find a name on it. Prize has to go to the lass who was wearing the helmet though.

 

It’s a rumi formichino, early 60’s. I beleive they were raced too

 

Don't tell me you used to have one!

 

Thanks crispey. Never heard of them. Will check them out to see what sort of speed they got out of them.

 

I went to the Triumph factory to watch the dgr riders come in from Coventry and Nottingham put a clip on you tube under Triumph factory dgr 2018 if any was in it

 

Went to the local bike shop after work today to book the Speedy in for a brake check and have a Street triple light bracket fitted

 

Got both my Motone covers ready to install. I opted for the black, which is an exact match to the factory finish. Even though it’s a bolt on part I couldn’t help but add a little touch of my own.

 

And another shot of how they look bolted up.

 

After a return trip to Dorset over the weekend, just got round to deep clean. Quite a bit of cow s**t on the underside . Smelling & looking like it should now

 

Put on some ACF-50 to help keep speedy looking good. They’re right in that it makes the plastics look great. Hope it protects the spoked wheels, so will keep an eye on this over summer ❤️

 

This is my trophy at RTTW which got very very wet luckily jacket and trouser performed well and only got a little damp in patches time to re waterproof great cause and a great day even in the rain

 

try again

 

Tucker and Lisa out for a ride over to Mildenhall speedway after the long way home as it's a great day for a ride.

Nick Hall and I went out on the Oakley MC annual Memorial Ride. 50 bikes with half a dozen or more pillions. In memory of deceased club members. About three hours all in, round some of our favourite roads, and back to the club for sausage 'n chips.

Frustrating following Harley riders though. They go gang busters on the straight bits. Then you find yourself braking to a standstill when you come up behind the feckers pretty much walking them round the twisty bits. Still, bite your lip cuz it's all in a good cause.

 

I put the thunderbird to bed for the winter today. Treated her to a carcoon bubble; hoping it will keep her nice and dry and the rust at bay through the winter.... anybody else looked at or got one.
