T100 Stranger - Victoria Street, Bristol

Evening all.

Typically, my 10-12 minute ride home through the centre of Bristol is a mixture of nipping through traffic (feeling smug), blipping the exhaust every now and again as I’m still a child and I can’t get over the sound of the V&H with the x-pipe, and being surprised at how inexplicably fast Deliveroo drivers go on residential roads, only to pull alongside at the next red light.

Today was a bit different. I saw at least 5 other riders, three of whom were on Triumphs, and who all gave that familiar, friendly nod. There was also a nice bloke on a T100 who gave an amusing ‘oh, you’re on a black 900cc Triumph too’ in response to my exact same reaction at the traffic lights on Victoria Street. He did start to say something but we pulled away and it was lost in exhaust pipe noise.

Mystery rider, if you’re on here, say hello!

 

Errr....

The echo between the walls by the Aquarium coming from Baldwin Street is also particularly enjoyable!
