What Have You Being Doing With Your Non-triumph Today?

Unused ones are the best, will attract lots of flys otherwise

 

I have a few bikes altogether and some are nice, ready to roll and others are current or future projects.
So ok, heres a guessing game for you if you wish, whats the bike/frame next to the Armstrong?

A couple of clues 1990 ish off roader.

 

After telling Mrs D about my recent run to Rannoch Station, and as we were both off today and it was another sunny day we decided to have a run up (i was telling her about all the delicious cakes they have!) we went a different route to the one i went the other day, we stopped off at Queens view for a quick photo


it was just as we were about to leave Queens view that i remembered the Café at Rannoch Station was closed on Thursday and Fridays! Mrs D was disappointed as she loves a bit of cake! i told her i know of another place that has really good cakes, We went to Rannoch station anyway as she wanted to see it
Deja vu for me but on a different bike!


after spending a while there we headed back then went up the opposite side of Loch Rannoch to the one we came up, we then took the road past Schiehallion a popular mountain for hillwalkers, that road leads onto the B846 Loch Tummel to Aberfeldy Rd, we stopped of at the café at Highland Safari for a cake for Mrs D, she said it was really good ,she also had a cheese scone before which she said was one of the best she had tasted


i skipped the cake and had soup and a toastie, it too was delicious I would definitely recommend stopping off there for something to eat if your up that neck of the woods

 

It can be a busy place in the summer there's a cafe and a shop, near the viewpoint

 

NICE

 

On the way there...... recommended

Great place Dougie @Dougie D

 

Looks a beast with the pannier’s off

 

XR/TT500 frame

 

Nice try but think more Espanol?

 

Looks like a terrific day out for you and Mrs. D, Dougie! It's good to be able to adapt when our plans don't pan out, eh? Sometimes we find the best things when we weren't even looking for them. Good for you for having soup and toast and leaving the cake to your spouse. Did you at least have a taste (or two)?

 

Nope, not even a nibble!

 

80 F today ! Taking the Duc out for a Mountain run

 

Good for you, Dougie! Did you refrain because you're trying to cut back. Or because Mrs D would have stabbed you with her fork for trying to pilfer some of her cake? Mr. Sandi has learned that if he wants dessert he should just go ahead and order his own. That said, I'm trying to be more generous about sharing some of my dessert if he doesn't order one.

 

Went for a ride round at the local RAF base at Odiham on the ZX10.
All my muscles are regretting it now...

 

I rode El Gordo over to Tucson H-D today and 25% of my back-ordered parts are now installed on El Gordo. Here are the Before and After shots of my license plate bracket. No, I didn't scribble out my license plate number. I think I'm over that and can't quite imagine someone plotting some nefarious thieving scheme because they can read may plate number. I'm quite please with the new Kuryakyn vertical curved plate holder. What do you all think?

 

Looks loads better, but is it actually legal?

 

Racing did get interrupted at one point as they were testing one of their own vehicles..

 

Thanks, @Neal H. I think it looks much better, too. And it is technically legal although the language in the law is a little ambiguous. Basically it says that a vehicle license plate needs to be readable. I've talked to lots of guys who have been around motorcycles forever and the bottom line seems to be that a cop might hassle you if they don't like something you did or are feeling cranky that day. But instances of that seem extremely rare and mostly hearsay-- "well, I knew this one guy once who had his plate vertical and..."

I had my license plate set up vertically on my 2017 Low Rider S, too, and rode it that way for several years with no issues. So I think if I behave myself I should be ok. And at this point there are so few traffic cops out there at all around where live and it seems that at least 3 or 4 cars continue turning left against a red light that I can't imagine being stopped for something like my plate being vertical. There are certainly bigger and more dangerous traffic violations to attend to than El Gordo's new plate holder.

 

Lookng sooooooo good for a Harley

 

Thanks, @Wessa! That means a lot to me coming from a discerning non-Harley guy such as yourself.
