Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Went out for the first time on Maggie scrambler, what a cracking little bike.
Done a massive 8 miles then came home......bloody freezing!!

I only said it was freezing!

I once had a probing by a male doctor..... I still swear to this day that he went to the gym to pump his fingers before going in..... << my actual face at the time.

Hope you get better soon

 

We had two or three weeks of him without any conversation... We didn’t mention Vinal Vera at all. He seems finally to be getting chatty again.

In the mean time Amazon has delivered many puncture repair kits and an electric air pump.

 

Just now looking forward to if he gets married (to a flesh and blood girl) although in modern times people will be given the option to marry a ‘Vera’... if that is what they ‘relate to’. You’re not allowed to say you’re bonkers these days.

Should such a day come, I will be very tempted to tell the best man about his ‘bouncy’ girl friend - you know, for the speech...

 

Dunno, but thankfully I have scientific calculator that has an exponent function.

Just finishing up the calculation... Heck that’s a big number!

Edit: Sorry I forgot to divide by the number of people in the photo! Wait a mo... oh, it’s still a big number...

 

That's Nigel Lou's mate

 

Wheeled it out the shed to photograph the Arrow exhaust because tomorrow the bikes going into the dealer to have a (hopefully) fruitier can fitted. Complete waste of money that Arrow can was..... its going on eBay this weekend.

 

That's a look of love and gratitude for rescuing her and bringing her back to her former glory Ron

 

Went in the dealers to complete the paperwork for the new speed twin. They are going to pick-up the speedmaster in the next couple of days, which leaves only for me to go pick-up the new bike when it arrives.

 

Another 10 days, they are trying to get delivery information from Triumph.

 

Wouldn’t it be better to ride the Speedmaster there and ride your new bike back

 

@Wessa
Might keep the pressure on the dealer if he's sold your Speedmaster already.

 

My problem was the tax on the speedmaster was due on the 1st April and my insurance ran out on the 16th April. If Triumph had delivered my new bike when they said they would this would not have been a problem. They didn't, and as I did not want to re tax the speedmaster and renew my dual bike policy for the LT and speedmaster for only a few days, the easiest solution was to SORN the speedmaster, complete the paper work on the new purchase of the speed twin and renew my insurance with the new bike and my LT from the 16th April. Nothing is simple.......

 

Sunday last..did egg run on Wirral,Charity run.(Merseyside,UK) .5-7,000 bikes...many badly dressed well done to all and the many triumph riders out there..great day! Great public en route..

Down at the factory yesterday they said a ship had been delayed due to bad weather which explained the empty slots in the warehouse

 

And likely the late delivery of bikes......

 

They should build it in the Uk, then brits get jobs and they don’t kill the polar bears by shipping the damn thing across the world.

Just a thought...

Edit: there again, if polar bears will swim in front of container transporters, they can’t cry if they are diced up by the propellers...

Edit 2: I have never understood why polar bears are singularly victimised by globalisation. Why not chickens?

 

But a good one and the added bonus of delivering bikes on time.. Thinking about it they would find another excuse for late delivery....

 

Yeah, spending too much time singing “On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at” and racing whippets/pigeons...

 

Not done the egg run for a few years.

Sounds like it’s still attracting good numbers

 

The next thing you know they’ll be making Transit vans in Turkey,

 

Or making HP Sauce in the Netherlands - not that there is anything remotely wrong with that Vulpes/Electra...

 

That’s quite a statistical variance...

 

Had my bike dyne tuned, got a couple more horses
