Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

This sunshine is getting expensive. I'll post the rest of the pics in the speed triple ride outs thread

 

Shall we have a vote for most disliked bloke on the forum?
Below are the candidates:








1.Dougie
Oh there are no others!!

 

I never really had a problem with wind buffeting my head around, but the journey in this morning was at motorway speeds and I did conciously think...has it made any difference...I have to admit I didn't think it had made a difference and I noticed that I was looking down on the screen (I am 6ft) so any wind deflection wouldn't help unless I tucked right in which would make it rather cramped for me.
Regarding looks, it does make it look a lot more determined or assertive (I had to look in a thesaurus for an alternative to aggressive) I like the look and I will have to see over the next week if I get any mild neck ache like I used...

 

Hmmm....
I can think of a few

 

Been round the workshop today scrounging bits of flat bar and the like to make a tow bar for my speedmaster
Gonna make a trailer with a car roof box
In the garage tomorrow to do some measurements
Project trailer is under way!!
Aiming to get it done for the Yorkshire pudding rally
Reet time for a shit/shower/shave splash on some smellies put me flat cap on and gan for a pint!

 

I'll second that Dougie.... I'm going out again tomorrow for another full shift on the bike, that's five times in just over a week and at 350+ mls each time (as the weathers been so good) the wallet takes a pounding doesn't it. I even managed to inadvertently put really expensive petrol in the tank when I didn't check the price first (£139.9 ltr) which doesn't help.

Anyway... I'm not complaining,it's Scotland we live in.... could be snowing next week, what is it they say about 'making hay'

 

Not complaining even though you live in Scotland.?! Really?

It's good to know not everyone is a nationalist.

[yes, sorry I know it belongs on another thread, but it had to be said]

 

At that price you deserve all the sun you can get

 

£139.99 ltr.
I know that should probably read £1.39 ltr But FFS, that is F***ing extortion.
Is it a garage somewhere in the back of beyond ? Places like that should be boycotted!
It's enough to make me think about towing a trailer and taking my own fuel with me.
Great to hear that you're getting some serious mileage on the bike though

 

Well spotted crispey ....... can't remember it being THAT expensive !!

That's what I get for posting on an empty head

 

Yes should've had another point between the 1 and 3

MOTO Services Southwaite (on the M6 North) Mick, I like to put the posh petrol in the tank now and again and I chose there to do it for some reason. My mistake for not checking first as these service stations do like a bit of 'mark up' with their prices don't they

Anyway it's 7am and I'm off to Oban for breakfast..... looks like another scorchio day ahead

 

Nice one

 

Bedford to Wells Next The Sea with Oakley MC. Some fabulous roads and not a lot about.

A bit chilly and wet though, needed the fish and chip lunch at Wells.

 

Been lavishing some TLC on the TT600. Full front end brake refurb!
Strip down and clean up.

New seals in and rebuild.
New Goodridge twin line (race ;-)) hose set.

One of the bleed nipples!

All bled and happy with the result.

 

Looks like a dentists surgery compared to my garage
Good job though

 

Short fat one
Thought some barstewart would pick up on that, but if ya cannot laugh at yourself then dont laugh at any other little
fat bloke.

 

Lovely 120 mile ride through the Yorkshire Dales to Castle Bolton and back.
Quietish dry roads, no sun in your eyes, perfect!
Bike handles superbly with the Hagon upgraded suspension.

 

Fitted some 20mm spacers to lift the bars a bit last week.
Took the Speed out today to try them out.
It's definitely more comfortable, but not sure about the riding position into turns, it feels a little odd after the previous set up.
I'll do a few hundred miles on it before I do anything, if it's still the same, the I might compromise and try just a 10mm lift.

 

No place like the living room, if the Mrs don't mind

 

I knew that DD if this forum teach's you owt its piss taking AND I dont believe for one second wayne beat you to owt !!!! I choose to believe you rose above it marra, in respect of me of course, wayne is wayne and without him this forum would be laugh-less.
