Well guess what I was doing?? After wrrrrr......whirrrr, when I got home! Dirty Doris ain't so dirty no more, will have to polish her tomorrow as it started raining
Flippin' 'eck Crispey that looks clean without any polish. I wipe mine over with a cloth soaked in ACF50 and use a drop of Mr. Sheen on the paintwork.
I've just got back from a lovely 200 kms round trip to the Triumph dealer and picked up some interesting info. Apparently Triumph are going to create two ranges of classic bikes: 1 based around the 1200cc engine; the other based around the 900 Speed Twin engine. The next new model will be out over here in November and it will be called a T100. The dealer described it as having the same physical size as the T120 and available in 'Black' and coloured versions but using the Speed Twin 900cc engine. This leads me to wonder whether there will be an America/Speedmaster and scrambler versions using the new 900 motor as well. Apparently the thinking behind the T100 is classic looks but in a bigger frame as the Speed Twin is really just too physically small. Girlies and Ade will fit it though....................................................................
I just got confused 'cos Ade was quoting me, so I thought in his advancing years he had forgotten my name. Maybe it's my advancing years.................................................
Nope its defo little Ade, first its his eys..... Now its his memory!! Must be that B*W messing him up
That stuff is as good as muc-off at a fraction of the (Halfords) price too, my Mrs uses it on the cooker, greasy pots etc, also good for taking the green slime off paving slabs! Get it from the Pound shop, its errrrrr..... a £1.
Now available, Ades (mein Fuhrer) DVD on his struggle with having a B*W on a Triumph Forum. available In all good Bunkers and the Wehrmacht
Got up this morning pissing down, so thought sod it the chain needs some tlc, so gave it a clean and relubed (is that a word)? Lol. Sprayed up the chain checked it over. Lo and behold this afternoon sun came out so went for a little trip down to Southsea seafront, be rude not too, had an ice cream and a stroll along the prom, weather really warm, end of September ffs long may it continue. Sorry no pic as I left my phone at home, der.
Yep pissing down in Bournemouth as well, dryed up soon though and i got my monkey bikes out and rode them up n down the road for an hour n then put them all away. Then started work on the electrics in the new garage/workshop
Yes they are with the little 138cc 185cc and 146cc motors and on 10" wheels, these are the last 3 we have as we have sold off all the others and we are now going to just keep 2 of them and sell the last one which is the Rothmans monkey as at 60 i find them a little uncomfortable.
Can't do anything to the Triumph at the moment, but I ordered a smaller metal No. plate for it. In Black with silver digits. I know it's not legit, but I'll take my chances...Think it will complement the looks of the bike rather than the big yellow thing stuck to the back.
