That would look awesome if you can mount it just in front on the clocks Can you source a couple of bofors gun barrels to mount either side? That would be epic Would go well with the ammo box panniers- is this the birth of the Apocalypse Bike?
Checking it over to get ready for tomorrow. I’m participating in the DGR for the first time. Alas, could not find any tweed in time. Maybe next year!
I went for a bit of an explore today, it was bloody cold and windy. I don't know where I was when I took this, somewhere a few miles out out of Daventry...
That is wonderful, @capt! What great memory for you and your granddaughter--for your whole family! The fact that her granddad carried her to her wedding on his motorcycle is become part of the family lore and a wonderful story for the ages. She's beautiful, BTW. Does she take after her granddad?
Beautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful bike. It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks for sharing, MrB.
As the nights are drawing in thought I’d check the headlight aim, and main beam pointing at the sky Simple to adjust vertical position on the Thruxton by loosening the two headlamp shell bolts and moving the thing up and down off for a test now
Beautiful, @Rspete. To say your mate is "very good" with a camera seems an understatement! These images are spectacular. They could be part of a Triumph ad campaign. If your mate ever travels to Arizona, let him (or her?) know that I'll be happy to hire him/her to take photos like these of our bikes, too. Definitely poster-worthy!
I’ll give you a CLUE Do ya want a CLUE This is the CLUE Get ready for the CLUE The CLUE is..... .......over here mate on my heed
Next year will be a better year for tweed anyway, @OsteKuste (hopefully) since there aren't DGR big group rides happening this time around. And that gives you a whole year to prepare! I've done DGR the past two years and wore the same jacket (houndstooth rather than tweed) both times hoping that no one noticed--though I have my suspicions that a bunch of bikers might not register that fashion faux pas. Here's a photo from the 2019 DGR so you can see my attire. I have a zip front knit riding "undershirt" of made by Knox that has body armor in it and was wearing that under my white shirt and the jacket. I have a tweedy cap that I wore when the helmet came off.
Is that "head" in American English, Dilli? Or if not, what the heck is "heed"? The clue is esoteric enough without the language barrier.
Thanks, for the translation, Dilli! Well, I've googled a number of phrases new to me on the forum and always figure that's my new learning for the day. So "esoteric" can be your new learning for the day. And I think you may find a number of uses for it in your "mystery threads".
