Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Fitted the fender extenda today, 3 months too late but heyho better late than never

 

Stevelovatt has one on his tiger and that's always clean

 

i was going to be taking the speed triple out a run tonight,but i was checking when the 1st MOT was due,i thought it was next month but it ran out today,so took my Hog up a run to Braemar



Hungry Highlander in Braemar it's usually busy with bikes,maybe in a couple of weeks

River Dee at Braemar

Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar..no idea why it's called that as it's nowhere near Fife! will be opening again in 2018 after a multi million pound makeover

 

I'm still waiting for a full report on the handlebar muffs DD

 

Just ordered one myself.
Will fit it once I get it

 

Great pictures Dougie

 

Yeah, indeed!

 

Dropped the oil and had a bloody struggle reaching and removing the filter on my 1600 Tbird
all done now,

 

What me!
It must be that other MickEng who keeps using my password.
I'm the nice quiet MickEng who only offers help and goodwill to his fellow travellers.

 

Always getting me into bother that twat, I bet he hasn't even got a bike, just comes on here to make a thorough nuisance of himself.

 

Which road is that? I might be in that area next month

 

I'ts the Blairgowrie to Braemar rd (A93) leads eventually to Aberdeen (the scenic route!)

 

We'll not my Triumph but SWMBO's StreetTripleR....
She bought it late last summer with about 5k miles on it. Added another 1k of her own and now needs new tyres. So fitted a pair of M7RR's. Surprised to find front pads needed replacing too!
Fitted lowering kit to rear when she first got it but couldn't drop the forks 'cos the bars get in the way, and not great for handling. So crimbo pressy was a pair of bar risers....forks now dropped about 10mm (rear is lowered 25mm).
See how that feels if we get some dry roads this weekend.

 

Blimey! A pair of risers for crimbo and she's happy!?!? I'll have one of those. Thank you!

 

Took part in the " Triumph riders WA" Triumph Logo rally, approximately 200 plus bikes took part on the York football oval to form the Badge "Triumph" , it took about 30 minutes. There was a Drone over head taking photos, they can be viewed on the triumph riders WA Facebook page, sorry can't post here as non shareable. My bike is in the left line up forming the "I" second from the bottom, it's not possible to make it out but that's where I parked it.

Cheers capt.

 

Just a small thought - if the rear is dropped by 25mm and the front by 10 mm, the steering angle will be slightly altered and the steering slightly slower.

 

Thanks,in the summer you will often see folk camping near the river,popular place for hill walkers

 

Took my Aprilia in for its MOT, and borrowed this...very comfy and civilised I must say

 

They do work but just as DD says they dont prevent all the crud hitting the lower frame but they do protect the radiator. Bike would definitely be dirtier without one.

 

Great run to Bath today for the rugby (Bath beat Brive 32 - 20 to secure a place in the semi-finals of the European Cup) so result there. Sunny all the way there and back apart from the last few miles.
