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

Very nice mate. Go steady with that beast, they were known as the widow makers back in the day ........

 

@Schuey (Jas) and me rode the horseshoe pass today. Lovely weather and not to busy on the roads..

 

Thanks Wessa (Steve), had a great ride out, lovely scenery and roads, enjoyed the company and thanks again for the lunch treat, my treat next time.

 

Your very welcome

 

And just to add a few more pics from yesterday

 

mans bike those things. Lovely.

 

Took the Bonneville out for a run and stopped in at Jacks Hill Cafe...



Oops! - This should have been in the "What have you been doing with your Triumph" thread

 

Midway Truckstop and Jack's Hill Truckstop. Those were the days!!
Can't beat a good truckstop!

 

No food for me, just coffee.

Yes, there were loads of bikes out, I passed several groups whilst out as well

 

That is a fair old trek across country mate. Drive safe

 

Out on the Tuono today. With this weather it would've been rude not to. Out on the Thruxton tomorrow hopefully.

 

Aaack! This is what I was doing with my non-Triumph non-motorcycle Mustang today. I had hopped in my car to run errands and saw that my tire pressure readings were 32, 32, 32, (perfect) and.....21. Since I'd only gone about 1/2 mile, I turned around and put some air in the tire before driving straight to the Ford dealership.

Fortunately it was repairable and my bill was $0!! So I wound up only being out for the wait time and mild inconvenience of having it repaired. I was very grateful to not have to replace that tire as I suspect it's very expensive. Sure I'll have to replace one of them--all of them actually-- someday but I'm glad someday wasn't today!!

 

So glad we don't have to pay someone to tell us our vehicles are crappy . . .

 

It varies from state to state. Here in NM they only inspect the VIN number. In Texas they do an inspection, but it's just kind of a give us twenty bucks and you're on your way. They check parking brake, lights, and tires but aren't too fussy about it. I've never lived in Kalifornia, but I hear they are pretty picky when it comes to emissions.

 

We have MOT's for cars, but not for bikes.

 

I'm not sure, mate... I can ask the French tomorrow though!

 

BLM!! Bikers Lives Matter!

 

and yet the Historic vehicle status means you don't need to do a MOT anymore but your vehicle must roadworthy. So when Dougal gets to 40 DD you can save yourself a few quid every year.

 

The only vehicle I had that qualified was my 1979 CB550 which I've just sold. I have the same issue with my VFR800, its 22 years old but I doubt I'll be around in 18 years to take advantage of the Historic status whether they ban fossil fuel vehicles before then or not.
