Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Took Edna to the beautiful Devon coast 6 hours a day riding she’s not missed a beat

 

Fitted the black intake covers today. (Bought from Total Triumph Taunton)

 

Fitted new footpeg rubbers today, as the old ones were really worn. New ones for just under £12 from Sprint Manufacturing, via ebay.

Now SPOT. (Stupid Previous Owner Trick) Yes.. P. O. had crossthreaded the screws holding the rubbers on. Steel screws, alloy pegs too. One had been mullared enough that it had had a larger diameter screw forced in it. So, I had to take the pegs off, and drill the bolts out using the pillar drill.

Cut new threads, slightly larger, and fitted new dome headed Allen bolts, with coppaslip.

All good fun!

Then preceded to ride up the North Coast to the post office in Thurso to send off a couple of Land Rover lift pumps to a mate. Any excuse... Jeezo, it was hot!

 

After a 320 mile ride yesterday afternoon, tonight I broke 1000 miles while making a burger run, and watched the tach zoom to 9500 before I let off, as I rapidly approached traffic. Not the time or place to go full wazoo.

 

TRMCC fundraiser today for a members widow. Great cause and well celebrated with a poker run around 140km.

 

As it was raining , I gave the chain a good clean and relube.

 

Nothing, it has been raining for the past 40hs here in the north west......

 

And is likely to for the next 20 odd

 

I think there's a little dry window opening up sometime Monday morning so that's it, i'm out.

 

Enjoy Andy, where you planning on going?

 

Been out riding in the Pyrenees

 

Five of us went to Littlehampton (East Beach Cafe) for breakfast. As we were leaving a chap turned up on Daytona and was pleased at least two us were keeping British industry going as there as a BMW, Yamaha and two HDs in our group.

We then went to Worthing to a classic car show.

Not sure why this counts as a classic but thought of DD... something for him to aspire too....



Edit: oh I tried out my new ventilated jackets and motorcycling jeans too - and fixed a knackered LED on my “I’m here lighting”.

 

I installed bar end mirrors and took it out for a nice ride.

 

went through to Perth as their was a new custom motorbike workshop (JM Custom motorcycles) having an open day with bands and free food & drinks , decided to have a run first though

 

Ahhh, rain, as I was saying in another thread. Phooey. You're all welcome to come ride with me in dry Arizona. But it is a "little' hot.

 

Nice mirrors. Great looking ride. Are you loving it??

 

Wow! Cool! Do you have any photos you'd be willing to share??

 

I am loving every single minute of it.

 

Worked down in Hove yesterday so took Doris down for a run, great back roads etc had a good ride, on the way back I was overtaken by one of these

Thought my earplugs were great, didn’t hear a thing! Caught up with him at some lights and realised it was electric. The guy said it had a 140 mile range and a 60 min fast charge function. Not fantastic but getting there. It certainly seemed to handle well and shifted. Bit pricey but I’m sure prices will drop as demand and technology improve
