Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Oh yes you do ( pantomime style)

 

Woooo ive gone all wobbly now.

 

Ron’s gone the opposite of wobbly

 

Today got mini service , engine oil and filter and air filter cleaning , new chain fitted , it was like spaghetti so the technician said , it could fold in all four directions at once ! When I told him I had been "towing" he asked how .. it would have been like a liquorice elastic band, snatch and release . It was fine a week ago honestly. Tyre has plenty of tred but still a gamble on how long it will last
Bike much more manageable and pleasant to ride now
Went to the Darwin Aviation Museum after the service, awesome plane's on display, B52 F 111 and a Spitfire amongst many.

Cheers Mick Brenda capt

 

The aviation museum.
And white wall tyres seen about town a real eye pleaser ....

 

White Wall Tyre's ...
Love it ! Australian Postie bike modded

 

But your bike looks Orange to me. Shouldn't be called Tango

 

So nice mods on that C50

 

Yup I agree, white wall tyres really stand out ! It's how I first noticed it..?

Well back in Kathrine on the return leg home. The new chain has made a noticeable difference, bike corner's better and fuel mileage too has improved. Looking at two new tyres soon there's always something
.
Will probably go to the hot springs tomorrow, if we do will post pictures, last saw them 30+ yrs ago, be interested in seeing if there is any changes.

Cheers Mick Brenda Capt

 

Wow, Katherine hot springs has changed so much.
There was no I say again no man made features anywhere when I was there 30 odd year's ago. Still lovely clear water.
Well another item off the bucket list and off tomorrow morning to timber creek again.

Cheers Mick Brenda capt

 

Stopping for a cuppa a couple of weeks ago at our usual watering hole this guy chugged in on his HD. Do you think any of the originals are left of these jeans?

 

Not my triumph .... but helped push a rocket 111 with a flat battery.
Anyone on here????
I'm not too sure if my "should've bought a smaller bike" comment was appreciated ....

 

Aaawww ..... bless! Bike cost so much to buy, run and repair that the poor bugger can't afford new/decent jeans.
Either that or he's a scruffy bastard!!
Could be both I suppose!

 

Did a sixty-two mile round trip to collect a few items, donated for the charity I support, that were rescued from a recycling tip.
20 crutches, 8 zimmers, 2 wheelchairs, 1 shower stool, 3 walking sticks and a few other odds and ends.

 

Your second guess is nearer the mark. I see him quite ofter and next time I will get a front on view, its even worse than the back.

 

Had an hour and a half hour round trip in right shite weather to my neighbours workshop where his son fitted the Street triple light subframe to my speedy, soooo worth it



Before and after.

 

I've noticed Hospitals never want the Zimmers, walking sticks etc back. Can't they just be cleaned up, checked and use again?. Would save the NHS/ SHS thousands a year. I've seen large skip full of these at the back of Hospitals. Maybe it's cheaper to scrap the metal and buy new.

 

My guess is fear of suing.
Easier to replace with factory checked ( sue the factory) than employ a qualified crutch inspector.

 

The firm I work for has a department that clears properties for social housing Nationwide, our crews have asked the NHS about wheelchairs and such like numerous times, and they are always told to take them to the tip, as they won't accept the return of used one's , it's such a waste as some of them are barely used.

 

I want to apply for job as Crutch inspector. But as I am in my 8th decade I do not know if the heart is up to it.

 

Crotch inspector on the other hand...... never too old!
Hopefully?

 

The difference is that they knocked a wall down and planted a hedge. Did something happen to the bike?
