    Koti Autotalli means "Home Garage" in Finnish, my other native language. Not really correct language both beeing substantives but anyhow. What is the Finnish connection?

    I do not know whether the owners have any Finnish connection, or whether the name has been used as it sounds good (it's quite "hipster") and their branding is "home" according to their website.

    I took my recently completed custom built CX500 there back in 2019 - it broke down on the way home :D

    A quick morning ride to the North West of Alnwick along some very narrow but deserted back roads.

    Found some interesting abandoned farm buildings after crossing a ford :cool:

    Whatever you are doing with your Triumph do NOT accessorise it!

    Was browsing for heated grips for the Street Triple and sort of bumped into the cruise control switch. Knowing that this was never an option for the bike and being a disbelieving MOG I downloaded the fitting instructions.

    Those of you familiar with your bikes handbook or the fitting instructions of accessories will know and be aware of the many warning messages for numpties that are strewn throughout these documents.

    Well this one just about takes the biscuit.

    Looks like a fantastic day out, @Mrs Visor! And it would appear, although you had a few raindrops, that you had some sunshine, too!

    I really must catch up with my posts as I've had a few trips whilst we've been staying in Northumberland near Alnwick. Probably get the laptop out when I get back.

    This was last Sunday - a little trip down memory lane for those of us who attended the 2017 and 2019 GMUs.

    Back to Bellingham, scene of the crime! :D

    A little ride out on the T100 to check it out and ended up in Poole with some friends.
