Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Yeah, we had a chat about doin' it ourselves, after it had cooked in the AGA but as the local Brit Club use this firm a lot, thought I'd play safe. I got the admin guy I think (very clean hands), the place looked dark as if all had got their caravans out for easter and were headed towards my place. Nope nowt wrong wi' me other than insanity which I quite like, thanks fer comment mate

 

The brakes on took about 30 miles before they started to bite.

Funny enough I rode a Tiger Sport a week ago and was very imposed with the comfort, performance and handling

 

Looks great! Watch the tyres as well, they take a while to warm up with current ambient temps!

I have mine booked in to Bulldog on Tuesday for its 500 mile service.

I take it you have to remove the can to take the wheel out?

Enjoy your ride.

Matt

 

Put My BonnevilleAmerica through the wringer , washed , polished and lubed to the max ! Didn't realise how grubby it was ! Started @ about 10:20 am and finished after 1:30 pm. Top up the oil,clean and re-oil the air filter then took it for a run around the block, and as the Granddaughters are here for the Easter weekend took the older 8 yr old for her first ride ! Smiles all round ! A Biker of the Future ? We can hope, but my Daughter isn't a fan of Bike's.
Well bike is ready for tomorrow, if weather is fine Wife and I will be Off for the day, nothing planned yet just out and enjoy the bike,weather and roads.

Cheers capt.

 

Down in Brighton for a long weekend - arrived yesterday weather good. ( so is our view).

 

It's a strange thing but the rectifier is so much less obvious with fork gaiters fitted, never occurred to me before.
Great pics, a pleasure to look at, thanks.

Yes, something that's easy to rectify....

I'll get me coat

 

Went on a nice jaunt to Pool for same fish and chips.
270 miles down, only 130 more to go before the first service

 

Friday I washed her and polished, Saturday We went for a long ride, took all day . We did 470 klms. Saw WA's version of Stonehenge! Built circa 1910. it was built by the Pergande family, it's function was as a sheep run/yard. Built from a local out crop of granite, build a fire on the rock, get it hot and then rapidly cool the rock to get big shards break off,

 

Some more pictures from our ride. Wyalkatchem pub, Dowerin Tin Dog, and the Bencubbin Sandal Wood historical display.
It was a good day for a ride, It rained @ least four times ( very lightly to be sure ) traffic could be counted on four hands for the whole day ! Saw a snake ( sunning itself on the road ) not uncommon. Not One Police Car and it was cool, only 25°c max all day. Took trailer andcarried camp chairs and a packed lunch.

 

Found a Pub with No Beer.
Bencubbin pub been closed for around 10 years you wouldnt want to be without a Beer ! Pub was huge, in it's day it must have served many a Sandal wood cutter !!

 

You have done some good work there Wayne !! Looks Excellent a winner IMO !

Cheers capt.

 

Hi Dozer,
Yes the sheep skin saves you from 100°c arse burn on 50°c plus days.
The trailer hitch attaches to the lower mounting point of the foot peg hanger brackets on the frame, and there is a load bearing strap comes down from the rear chrome dresser rail below the seat.
Photos to follow, will pull Bike out of the shed.
Cheers capt.

 

Used black tape as arrow, just below front bottom corner of foot board. This bolt is used as anchor. Black angled strap is down wards load bearer.

Cheers capt.
PS towing frame bought from classic industries in QLD.

 

Hi Dozer,
You don't want it too rigid ! As that would pass all the movement of the trailer through to the bike, being free to move a bit makes the Bike more stable...!
