Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Think I'm ready
Shower then get me clobber on....cuppa....ciggy...round to garage to fill up and I'm on my way
Feel like a kid at xmas

DOH! I'm so excited I'm posting this in the wrong place

 

I think that's nobbled member !

 

Won't take you long to get there will it?
Thought you were fairly close to it?

 

Handlebars now fitted and fokking USB not playing for the fone.....

And I'm having a gigantic BAB before I set off!

Pictures anyone?

 

Popped up to Hilltop Motorcycles to get the Speed mapped for the low boy pipe.
It shows how bad the generic maps are....!

 

Not so much 'bad' as 'generic'! Optimised for just about every spot on the face of the planet rather than our cool, sea level conditions. You couldn't spare me a few of those bhp? Even better that torque curve....

 

Not so much today as what i'm doing tomorrow.Hiring a trailer
To take our bikes to the Classic
TT in August. ( who really likes
the trawl up the m6 from Brum)
So tomorrow we're gonna hire it
for the day. Just to practice cos none of us have towed a trailer
before What could possibly go wrong. Got a tow these 3
beauty's

 

Please excuse cockup with photos. It is only a 3 bike trailer.
Me and technology Nooo..

 

Up early, here are the bikes at the bunkhouse.

 

Rich Bryce making the most of the facilities at 4.40am - it's clearly exhausting talking bollox all night!

 

Finished my solo seat project today, then met an early relation of my bike... may copy the fender stripe!

 

They fit phew!

 

as much as I loved the old ones I think yours is much nicer

 

Got the same trailer, an excellent bit of kit !
Using it at the end of next month to take a Speed Triple, a Bonnie and a couple of bicycles (can't be walking to the bar...) to the South of France

 

Moist then?

 

Well worth the trip. Did you get wet?

Matt

 

Not really, we were lucky considering the forecast
There was a couple of showers but nothing worth stopping to put the waterproofs on.

Although the top end power improvement is nice, it's the low end torque I'm impressed by.

 

You could get some chrome sticky back trim and copy the tank chrome as well

 

Today as yesterday getting pissed upon from above but having a great time riding the roads round the borders with a great bunch of deviants on triumphs! Oh and a couple of retrobates on b^ws, not forgetting the tail gunners Dozersdad and winglad

 

Went up to Krazy Horse yesterday & despite the weather intervening several times the roads up to the place (Bury St Edmonds) are great. From Chelmsford, we went A12, then off at Witham, & through Braintree, Sudbury & through to Bury St Edmonds..... What a great place. Nice bikes, people & food. Proper bike atmosphere & a thoroughly good morning.... Boy O boy have they got some nice custom bikes there..... Harley`s, Norton Commandos & MV Augusta Brutale 800 to name a few + clothing & custom parts too.
As for the Thruxton getting wet, I think the 643 layers of wax on her meant that road surface wet/grime was kept to minimal thankfully

 

Ahh.....Sorry mate...if only I`d of known. Still, I`m sure I`ll be back as Arnie says.
I will give you a bit of warning next time dear Sir
It reminded me of the Bikeshed in London but without the over the top,extortionate food prices nice cool atmosphere. it was about 180 miles round trip for me as I diverted via Chelmsford to pick my mate up on his bonnie. Considering the showers we had yesterday, the thruccy is still remarkably clean
