Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Well another nice cloudy 10° to day so out for some recreational riding.

 

Lovely machines. Eager to do same, but conscience insists not to.

 

My interpretation of recreational rules as of this moment are two people can meetup outside for recreation as of next week its unto six people, riding a motorcycle is recreation the last time i looked it up.

 

Looking good bud,and you can sit on a bench for coffee. So how you get to that bench,is entirely up to you

 

Put the bike back together after a change of mudguard and paint up. The 2 pack is still a bit soft so needs a bit more time before a cut back and polish. Moved the number plate and fitted a single seat, no sure about the number plate location but with the size of UK number plates options are somewhat limited. Repainted the instrument panel and fuel cap as well as I was useing clear coat 2 pack.

 

Just a trip to Donington cafe and it was bloody closed.
So, a trip back via melton.
First ride out in 5 months. It was really needed and great therapy tbh.

Turns out I had the funky moped as it seems that a mere 1050 isn’t enough!
Bastards.

 

Fitted new battery bike up and running apparently fine.MOT tomorrow

 

I had a recreational ride on thje tiger today. Have to say there were a lot of bikes out and about today.

 

i agree with you, lots of bikes out yesterday, quite a few groups of 4 or more which didn't look good, I've mostly been out on my own or with just one other person

 

Likewise, been riding solo through the lockdown. Looking forward to being able to meet up and ride with friends

I'm waiting for tomorrow to go pick up my new 2019 Scrambler 1200 XE! I for the blue one because I heard it was faster than the white ones. The dealer is closed on Mondays. As Annie says "the sun will come out tomorrow."

 

Fitted new hugger,and chainguard ,today.

 

After a couple of hours of work in the yard Sunday with the three kids (son and I shared pick-axe and shovel work, @SandiT), we squeezed in a short jaunt. Rode south out of town on country roads, passing rolling meadows dotted with cows, and farm houses with tin roofs. It was a breezy ride that pushed us around a bit.

At our turn-around point we visited an old jail that was in use until 1895.

Built to mimic European bastilles, it was constructed from Georgia granite with 2-feet thick walls and a trap door for hangings. After that uplifting stop, we hopped back on the bikes and got home in time to bring Sunday dinner to my 94-yo mother. Of course, today being a work/school day the weather was better and rain is slated for later on the next days available for riding. I'm grateful for the time we do have and am loving the T100.

 

Ah, but your "funky moped" certainly looks the best, D2T. Glad you were finally able to get out for a ride and some therapy!

 

Looking good, Koko! Where did you get that cool seat, BTW?

 

Glad you got some time in on your T100, @Martine! What a terrific photo. But, wow, a trap door for hangings?! That's grim. Yes, even where I live in the desert, it does seem at least anecdotally that if it's going to rain, it does so on a weekend. Hope you're able to get out again soon!

 

First warm day ( hit 71F !) finished scrubbing in my new Metzeler M9 Sportecs .
They are very smooth and linear , a bit less grip than the Racetec K3's it came with , but very acceptable. Haven't got them as far over ..yet , time will tell.

 

The seat is from crk,the company also supplied the chainguard,and hugger.Top quality,and reasonable prices
