Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Good day today, fitted some mirror extenders as I’m fed up of seeing my elbows and not the police car that was behind me a few weeks ago . Changed the front sprocket for a 19T, cleaned and oiled the chain. Then gave Betty a test drive. Please with the 19T sprocket dropped about 500 rpm off so 70 mph was 4000 rpm and makes the gears feel better set up.

 

Cheating slightly, had it round the country roads from Aberdeen to Braemar on Friday before the rain and gales arrived. The road from Banchory onwards is just one of those sections made for riding, every turn opens up views that make you want to get off and take in. This was at a sneaky pee in the bushes spot..

 

Bike all clean now where to go

 

Just given the bike a good clean and polish, now admiring my handiwork


She just looks so right from behind

 

And meanwhile in Helmsley

 

Salcey Forest today

 

That is correct on so many levels...,.

 

Looks beautiful....

 

we went to Helmsley during last week,there were no more than a dozen bikes there, that bakers in picture do a decent coffee and bacon sarny for £3.50.

 

Do you still have to pay (as a biker) to park in the Square?

 

You did last time I was there in September 2019....

 

Wor lass had a sausage roll and I got a diet coke .
But more importantly and it's got me thinking, who's this fella on the phone too.

 

Spent an afternoon looking at this and scratching my head

Wiring colours don’t match neither do half the parts they’re attached to but with a couple of teas and a circuit tester I managed to trace everything to its rightful owner.
Electrics blah!

 

Had a ride to Wells by the sea today and then on to the usual coffee shop in Sunny Hunny. Crowded. Good to see that just about eveyone complied.
But this little old dear put up some sort of fight when told to move on by Plod.
Fought like a demon and hopped around on her one leg threatening the swat squad with her ice cream cone. Not really, it was just in my mind after weeks of
being locked down and wanting some action.

 

not at the moment and some twat selling fish was parked on bike parking area,toilets are closed.

 

I am sure that Ducati was there other day when we were there.

 

Fitted a new brake piston bled the brakes and polished the wheels, whoohoo it's drink time.

 

Just another bumble out to Mudeford Quay getting some more miles on the new engine with Su, Tracy and Alan joined us for the ride as well and apart from one dickhead who was wandering around with no idea of social distancing it was great to get out again.

 

Shame we passed like ships in the night, catch up soon
