Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

M.O.T. ed

 

Had the chain & sprockets changed on the tiger 800 yesterday & the brake calipers cleaned up...Chain & sprockets did well really...26,500 miles with a scottoiler fitted, probably could of gone further but with a trip abroard coming up I wanted to be certain all is well as it can be....

 

Just drained the oil and removed the oil filter from my BPOS
Actually I’m quite surprised at how clean the oil was and the condition of it
Left it to drain into the drip tray overnight

Better get some oil and a filter I suppose

 

Little and large are at work today.

 

That's the key to it, getting all the old shit out takes time.

 

new tyres fitted , wheels cleaned , refitted , bike polished , all ready to ride

 

New tyres on my speedy too and fitted my shiny new Scorpion exhaust at the weekend, other than a wash and polish she's ready to roll

 

Oil filter/oil/front and rear brake pads arrived today from Squaredeals
Saved over £70 on Triumph prices
Get these done this weekend and then Mot next weekend and then I’m ready for a long hot sunny summer .....you know....like we always get

 

What a shit hole
Went into my garage to start fitting the brake pads and putting the oil filter on etc
Cannot get moved because of all the crap that’s accumulated on the bike lift the workbench and the floor
Bloody trailer doesn’t help
Most of it is left over stuff from various projects
So instead of cracking on with the jobs I wanna do I’ve just spent more than 3hrs tidying up with two large bins outside the side door and just chucking everything I don’t need or use out
Having a sandwich and a cuppa and a bit of a warm up then I’ll go back in and hopefully finish what I set out to do

 

Ha! Time for a bit of Spring cleaning then!

 

That’s it done
Pads fitted front and back
Oil and filter changed
Touched up the wrap on the exhausts where it had gone white cos it’s gotta be BLACK
Rest of the bike could do with a bit of spit and polish
But I can’t be arsed at the moment and it won’t fail an MOT cos it’s dirty

 

scrubbed the tyres in and avoided the rain.

 

Well, On my way to Edinburgh from hull, stopped in newbiggin by the sea for the night, realised I wouldn’t be riding my bikes this weekend so drowned my sorrows with fish and chips on the beach

It’s a bit scary being so far from the south!!

 

Your always South to me.

 

You must have stuck out like a sore thumb. We’re all in t shirts or shirt sleeves round here.

 

Well the good thing is for the price of one southern chip I can buy 3 fish dinners up there, so having bought only the 1 chip I might be able to afford to retire early, actually I’m lying I bought 2 and had the other in My pocket saved for breakfast!

 

You’re practically Scottish already!

 

Well I can’t work out if it was 2 or 1 broke in half! In which case I was done!

 

Started to prep the Legend for the riding season. Think I wanna put new chain n sprocket and new rear tyre too. Not strictly necessary, but the old girl likes a treat now and again.

 

Made force adaption to my Daytona 675 today.
