Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

That's good news

 

Three of us went for a rideout yesterday starting from coffee at Squires.
It was a mixed day weatherwise that promised more than it delivered and so it was decided to take a look at the NY 500 place near Pickering.
Calimoto did it's thing and we kept off the main roads.



Food was ok, nothing special and the prices high for what it was. Some nice ornaments in there though.





We then had a blast over the moors to Whitby. Earlier it was cool but up on top it went down to 9 degrees and with my summer bike jeans on it was definitely nippy with the wind blast.

Next port of call: the whistlestop cafe in the old railway buildings with motorcycle parking right outside the door.



Better priced food, good quality and a nice selection, tea and cakes were our aim so once choices were made I ordered a buttered scone for one, a millionaire's shortbread for the other and a salted caramel cheesecake for me

I spied the curry and rice option and that looked real nice so noted for next time..... recommended cafe.

160 miles or so round trip on a rather cooler than expected day, odd bit of visor wiping for drizzle but dry roads throughout so a rather pleasant ride around.

 

Been clear coating, always a bit stressy. And, bugger me, there was an issue, but it's sorted now.....



.....Thank you, welcome, over....

 

Finished buttoning up a handlebar swap that I started on Monday, just needed to route the extended brake line a bit better.

As I was due to meet a friend tomorrow morning, I took her out for a little run in preparation and managed to pick this up….

GUTTED!

 

Bloody hell, that is bad luck. I hope you can get a repair quickly.

 

Yet another classy bike in the making. Your less is more design approach, supported by thoughtful excellent execution is truly to be admired. @Iron you’re a very clever boy.

 

I've been to NY500 a couple of times and the best thing about it are the bikes and race/rally cars on display.
It is expensive and a limited menu and, at least when I've been, no one seems to talk to you, unlike other places.
Certainly can catch you out over the moors as the temperature can significantly vary!
Whistle Stop Cafe is one of my favourites - a decent ride for me, good, cheap food and always someone to chat to.

 

Just a quick outing to our local monthly Sunday car / bike meet for us today (on the Street Triple and Nightstorm) as I am feeling rough still following some post root - canal abscesses and didn't really feel up to much. It was nice to get out as friends of ours were coming over to meet us there as well and the weather was gorgeous .

 

Rode out too the highest point in my home county of Berkshire, Walbury Hill, 297 Metres..

 

Painted Su's tank badges as they looked horrible in red.

 

Mate,that is a lovely machine!

 

It's a mean lean maroon machine

 

Commute for me on the Street Triple today; lovely ride there and back .

 

Same for me, on my Tiger. Working from home tomorrow, then I'll commute with ye olde Speedy.

 

I am working from home tomorrow too....then really should rearrange the garage to give the Blade a turn, although it did get used for my commutes all last week as it was at the front!!

 

My "problem" is that it's a bit tight in the garage, and also the heel guards off the speedy were off for powder coating - the guards will be on again tomorrow, so after rearranging positions Speedy wiĺ be fit for duty again!

 

Not sure what happened, managed to delete my first reply rather than edit.....

We have "his" and "hers" sides. My bikes have to be close together and angled as the door is that side and Helmut's can be one behind the other. This is "my" side taken not long after my Blade came "home" .

 

Not sure what happened with my post, I'm sure I only put one pic in there.. we only have three bikes, not six...

 

Very good ha,ha

 

I bought another old Street Triple, this time a black one to keep the Explorer company. Going for a trip in a couple of weeks to Neukirchen in Austria where there is a motorbike event and my Dad will join me, so I bought him what I think is the perfect bike at his age.

Is anyone else on here going to this event?
