    Mini cob led -They are quite small but very bright when tested on a power source. Appear all metal bodied and a male M8 fixing makes them very versatile.

    I've just this minute bought a further spare set for future use.

    I think they look great and good value too at £30.
    I'm considering a project for winter time so will try and remember about these
    Thank you

    Save them in your watched list and after a few days the seller may come back to you at £28 :joy:

    Hence my purchase this morning, even though I don't need any and despite being a Yorkshireman :yum

    £28 for x4 metal indicators has to be a bit of a bargain.

    Another trip up and over the North York moors again for me on the STRS. I ended up not a million miles from your place Steve, Yarm. I went to look at a Moto Guzzi and ended up buying it, so I'll be collecting that in ten days or so. Pics to follow, but they will be in the' What have you been doing on your Non Triumph' section of course. ;)

    Another commute on the Street triple today; gorgeous weather there and back and a sweet, sweet moment. I had been followed for miles by a woman in a Discovery - didn’t see her on any national speed limit roads, but she caught up in any 30s and 40s (I am “good” in those) and tailgated - we have all met “those” drivers. Anyway…she caught me up about half a mile into a long stretch of 40 mph limit where I was doing about 44 on my speedo and in a fairly long line of traffic, so just pootling. Anyway, she tailgated, lost her rag, passed me as close as I have ever been passed, then cut in and braked hard, causing me to brake (no dramas, knew she would so had already rolled off as she passed and started to brake as she cut back in). I then followed her another few miles to a roundabout where the exit often has a long queue up to a set of lights…it didn’t disappoint and there sat a long line of traffic…which I sailed past, all the way to a few cars in front of the lights as they changed again and went straight through. Reckon it probably took a good 3 - 4 changes of them for Discovery Lady to get through :laughing::laughing:. I love a small victory :party:.

    Got back just as some huge spots of rain started to fall and swapped the bikes round ready for work tomorrow :).

    Due to the actual weather my wife and I ride with our Bonnies daily to our offices and back home again. This means a daily 130 km ride. We and the Bonnies love it!;)

    Similar to mine then - mine is between 125km and 145km depending upon the route I take. It makes going to work more pleasant - although on gorgeous days the temptation to ride straight on past work is there :joy:.

    This past Sunday our group rode up Mt. Lemmon to get a reprieve from the heat. It was about 68ºF at the summit where we had breakfast at the Iron Door. I pulled in and parked by this sweet Corvette. And it's the right color, too. ;):heart_eyes:

    Today our Bonnie ride back home from the office got extremely wet. The weather forecast missed the announced thunderstorm today for one hour. We both very washed over the highway. Our outfit was also not the right one for this conditions. Therefore we hang up all our clothes, dried ourselves and after a short meal I had two Bonnies in my "beauty.center".
    They received a full program. Washing, lubricating and a complete cleaning of the spokes.
    Some impressions during my work.

    Out for a bimble on the Thruxton, called at J&S on my way home, it was busy as usual for a fine afternoon.
    Called for a pint at my local and then got caught in a thunderstorm from the pub to home :) lol
