Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Not out on triumphs this weekend but not getting jealous of those on their bikes as I travel to Doncaster in the car

 

Just rode back from into the valley
Loads of triumphs on site but my phone battery died on me so no pictures
Had a great time though
Knackered now

 

Yip.... very handy little gadget that. Need mine quite often

 

I got my Bonneville on Friday, rode it home from the shop and immiediately removed the strangling silencers and replaced them with some free breathing ones, adjusted the handlebars to a more rakish angle, then rode it, rode it some more, and then rode it a bit more. Now 48 hours after getting it I'm thinking it needs wider bars, a much shorter front mudguard, different tail light and indicators, the rubber knee pads have got to go as has the rack and the Oxford heated grips, the front brake master cylinder is annoying me as it looks like an afterthought, and it needs fresh paint-something much darker with a bit of sparkle in it

 

Oh yeah and I'm toying with the idea of rearsets too.......

 

Definitely gonna get something like that
I like to take pictures with my phone so I can keep them and share
Dunno what I did but I powered off the phone on Friday night and when I got up Saturday switched it back on and only shows 28% then it just seemed to crash?
Seems alright now but unfortunately no photos
Bugger!!!!

Update!!!!!
Was showing my better half your black power rod telling her that I need one
When she drops this onto my lap
And it's black!

 

I also have a black one!
They really look cool!
Great gadget...




and @Dozers Dad : I like the second from the right

 

Get a USB adapter for the bike, works really well too

 

Yup that's next

 

If you have an optimate charger lead they do a sae to USB adapter

 

Yeah got one of them
Will look into it mate
Cheers

 

Apparently it's been in the house for ages
My son got it with one of his previous phones
Because she didn't know what it was my darling wife tidied it up!

 

Glad to be of service, DD.

I do aim to please but I am such a lousy shot! SIGH!!!

 

Had a great day in garage yesterday. Got the barrels and cylinder head on my project T140 Bonnie, looked the dogs things..doesn't really matter if piston hits head after I torqued it down and turned crank by hand does it? Where do yer go when Intensive care will not have you back? Am I havin' fun yet?

 

Early morning run to Marlborough before it rains.

 

Those pumps look as though they are still in use!
Just missing the globe's, they are worth a few quid now, I know some have been converted to work in litres, but rare.

 

I've always wondered if they do. The garage does repairs and MOT' s but it doesn't have any prices for petrol so I guess they are just for show now.

 

Enjoying.

 

I'm hoping that I can hit some of these roads on my trip in July; getting coloser to me heading for the ferry....

The saga continues, as I was talkin to the cyclinder head on the 75 Bonnie with a rubber hammer, whilst removing it to resolve pistons etc, bike slipped off stand backwards. As there is no centre stand front dropped...STOP LAFFIN'.. and I was literally left holding the bike whilst thinkin flippin heck. Bike had jammed between frame front and front wheel. As I has removed fork nuts and slackened forks ready for refurb, I gently thought, I need help, so does bike. Steadying it enuff to pop down street and winkle someone to reluctantly help, we got back, got it back on stand and got head off. It was then a pal said "Why is there oil dripping from garage roof and light?" Eh?? I hadn't noticed but as the forks went down springs came upward along with a beautiful fountain of oil about 4ft behind bike. Great shot I thought, followed by visions of wife laffin hysterically. She married a madman. Will I ever grow up, hope not.
