Good job - it's surprising what a good detailer can repair. I know a guy who does these small dent repairs, using a weird mirror contraption and different levers - he has done many repairs for me on my own and some company cars, and the dents always totally disappear. Clever.
MOT day for the Tiger and it sailed through. It’s only got 30,500 miles on the clock, so hardly high mileage, but was happy with that.
Popped over to Triumph North London for an hour or so, and was quite taken by the Daytona 660, I have to say.
They are good looking, but your T120 black is much cooler. Or is the lighter weight appealing? And @Wessa's recent experience of high oil consumption with his Tiger 660 would worry me.
Oh, the T120 isn’t going anywhere. Just musing on what might sit alongside it, Yes, the oil thing was a worry.
Extremes meet - out with my cousin's husband on his BMW S1000R, 165bhp v 40bhp, but it's not such a big difference on nice twisty A-roads!
68 'Triumph owners' miles with my cousin today (Speed 400 and Street Triple) but it was more about where to stop for coffee.... The Woodhouse Kippen!
Fitted a pair of auxiliary lamps to the Striple. Also fitted a power supply that is located on the handlebars providing both USB A and a USB C outlets for my phone and my Insta360 X4.
Two days ago I added the Beeline Moto II to my T120 handlebar. The first ride with is still waiting to happen, I'll give a short review if you guys want to. It is the gun metal version of the Moto II and I think it looks quite pleasant on the bike.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the Moto2 @Florian320 as I am toying with the idea of buying one.
One of our riding group has one of these. His only complaint is that it is sometimes a tad late in giving directions. I use Waze on my phone which talks to my Cardo comms unit.
Mrs Visor also has one but she keeps getting dropped out of this forum so tends to frequent the other one now
Got sick of the stock mufflers on the 1200 Bonnie, mainly the way they hang out, catch on things, backing it out of garage, etc .so removed them ..... 17.6 k ? It actually has a nice note on straight pipes, and not overly loud, until I finish off the short reverse cones that my mate banged up for me. A set of baffles from 'Temu'.. haha, mounts, and will be done .... but now getting ideas of attempting to lighten it more !...
Last minute B&B booking in Tarbert, so heading off soon, a quick loop of Kintyre tomorrow and home again! A nice little tour for the 400!
Good day! I never had this issue but only rode one tour yet. I must admit I like this gadget. I'd also have the possibility to use any navigation app on my phone with my com. But the MotoII just does the job in a decent way. You can enter waypoints to actually ride a tour and it even worked to bypass a next waypoint with the MotoII eventually changing to the next waypoint automatically. I am not sure when that happened but it worked. For voice infos Beeline asks for a monthly subscription which I don't need. The MotoII beeps and a led lights up shortly before the next turn. It also records time, speed, distance and shows you speed limits by changing the color of the speed limit symbol when you go over it. For me the main advantage is that I don't have to put my phone around my cockpit using a bulky holding device. Can you live without it? Yes, definitely. Is it somehow nice: yep.
So took the wife out on the ST and had a couple of squirms so decided to "retyre" the rear, get it, retire the tyre It still had a good depth of tread in the middle, (I hate motorways just boring) but the corner lean areas were done. And here's the replacement Anyone want the old one let me know, they're welcome to it, no punctures or repairs?
This is the end. Had my final ride out as old age has finally caught up with me (soon be 75). No specific health problems other than joint and muscle pain but now can't do long ride outs anymore so decided to call it a day. So my Speed Triple 1050 RS will be up for sale soon after it's last clean and polish. End of an era.
