Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

moved em all to a new house further up North. now have a double garage

 

Short test ride for the new helmet after a bike wash.
Plenty of people around for labour day holiday and weather is stunning

 

what have i done on my Triumph today.... nothing... the weather is SHITE
filming for today has been cancelled too - so that's shite as well

the only thing I have done today is order a set of progressive wound fork springs...time to upgrade the 2001 RS a little more over the winter months..

may redo the headstock bearings and overhaul the calipers while i'm at it - finances allowing

 

Expectantly waiting, boy, girl, pass, or fail

Just dropped bike in for its MoT I hate the waiting

 

my regards to your good lady - hoping for a trouble free time for her

 

"What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??"

Adding two additional high-powered LED brake lights to my striple, just due to being bored.

 

Yeah the old girl gave birth to a pass certificate and only two adviseries which will get sorted on the service

Back home with feet up and a cuppa

 

two advisories - twins then 8)

 

Dilli did you ever move the main fuse from under the battery box to somewhere more accessible and drier (less corrosion)

 

Not yet mate but it’s the next thing to do when I get the time
Having a bit more shoulder pain at the moment so I’m not gonna push it
Doing admin this week

 

an Ebay shop.... the ones I have on at the moment are definitely so last year....sagging a bit... new oil would probably take care of it... but while stripped off the bike and emptied of oily water - as I am sure it will be by now - I thought why not bung in some new springs while at it....

so swapping shoulder pain for headaches...... I do not envy you in the slightest and promise to be good..... Ok mostly good 8)

 

Well.... I actually managed to get a quick 80 mile ride out in the Chiltern Hills and Vale of Aylesbury this morning. Partially wet roads and fairly cool but , wow , did I need that. Not been out too much lately due to various reasons and it felt wonderful to be back on a bike again. Quick ride out for breakfast at the Super Sausage. Only one other bike there when I arrived. Usually the car park is rammed at the weekend but today it was mostly builders and car drivers. The food was very good as usual , scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast with good quality coffee. Then a ride home just before the rain came again... Went home via Aston Hill. This is the hill just outside Tring that was used for hill climbs back in the 1920’s and gave its name to the first part of Aston Martin cars. Today it was covered in leaves, push bikes and 4x4’s as it was half term and mummies were running their little kids up to the play area at the top... Feckin slippery, the leaves that was not the kids.. I parked up for a photo and when I pulled away I got some serious wheelspin. Is there a “wet leaf mode” on the RS traction control..?,

 

Absolutely nothing... windy and wet and horrible

but this just arrived in the post..... oooooeeerrrrrr motorcycle porn 8)

just waiting for the weather to let me do them... don't have a garage to work in

 

blimey... you're not that far south of us up here...and it's sunny there...... i want my money back...its wet and shite here in the NE......8(

 

When we have an adrenaline-inducing fright on the bike we say, "wow! That's better than a cup of coffee!", just 'cause we're happy to be alive.

 

Just added some new Barend,mirrors

 

Have you tried putting them "upside down "?
It looks pretty mean and definitely would suit your bike!
Only downside is the steering lock..

 

Yeh,don't like them," upside down",too.low for me.Always had these type on my naked bikes.

 

Beautiful view and great photos, @crane operator! How's your daughter's riding coming along? Same question for you, @JtC. I was actually thinking of both of them yesterday for some reason then ran across this post this evening--a reminder to check in I guess!
