Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

I did have a ‘feel’ around the back and thought I could feel a hole so tried some Allen keys but nothing would slot in so perhaps there’s a screw instead, I couldn’t get a proper look though so I’m not sure.

The parts list shows the whole thing as one piece by the looks of it though

 

Possibly a torx anti tamper bit???

 

I'd say it was a one piece lever

 

Does your missus/girlfriend/mistress/lover etc have one of those small mirrors so you can look at it from the back ?
Or whip it all off.

 

possible I guess, I’ll try and get a picture from behind the lever tomorrow to see if that shows a way in.

 

yeah I’m thinking the same and I’ve been miss-sold the end peg thinking it’ll just screw on.

 

Yeah I’ll try and grab a picture with the phone held behind the lever

 

Defo one piece there's no bolt in that position on your exploded diagram

 

Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching it but I’m definitely the ‘average Joe’ that Dellboy was talking about when it comes to drilling parts of the bike out

 

Nice looking bike @Martine

 

Haven’t been able to get out and ride because when the weathers good I’m working and when I am not working the weather is shite. So having serious withdrawal
Taken to going out to the garage and talking to her
Anyway snapped a few pics instead

B&W arty farty

My pride and joy
And then more arty ....

 

Love the pics and love even more that you visit the garage to talk to her. Of course, if we brought them inside then we wouldn't have to go to the garage for the between ride visits

 

Yesterday I was bored so took a trip to Staffordshire Triumph. I wasn't in the maket for anything new, but when I was wondering around I came across this bargan and just could not resist


A Triumph Raven GTX jacket .......

 

I was going to get new tires about a month ago, but had to hold off. Sadly, in the meantime my Triumph dealership closed doors and went out of business. I can of course get tires from another shop, but no one is going to work on the bike or do maintenance. I liked my dealership, so I'm sad those guys are unemployed now. Taking the bike in for tires tomorrow.

 

It is always disappointing when a business goes under, particularly if in the past you have always had good service from them. Unfortunately all around the world this is now a coomon occurence . I hope you can get your tyres sorted with the new supplier....

 

That sucks.

The nearest dealership to me is Albuquerque -about five hours away. I haven't checked to see if they are still in business -I guess I better check.

 

That is sad. Is that the dealership in Glasgow that has just closed?

 

Psssstt ...... @Streetgirl675. Just have a quick look at Tim's details beneath his avatar. Steady ..... no-one will notice if you do it surreptitiously. There you go, I bet that answers your question. Look out, someone's coming!! Phew .... I think you got away with it!
And yes, I too am capable of similar cock-ups!! I posted in the 'What did you do with your non Triumph today' thread a piece about what I had done with my Triumph today! And bugger me, some smartarse noticed! I blame my age - 'cos I can!
But all the above is just between us two - I'm saying nowt!

 

Not that I was reading a personal message just between stevethegoolie and streetgirl675, but I just noticed that Tim is from Colorado Springs, Colorado...that's where I first learned to ride and took my MSF course (in Nov in cold rain/sleet/snow weather)...and that dealership that just closed is the one at which I test rode my first Triumph in 1999 that set me off on wanting one. Handsome husband recalled that he absconded with the Triumph backpack given as a test ride incentive at the time. Well, he's not getting the one I just got with my new bike! Sorry to know my "home" dealership closed Glad it occurred to me to check Tim's location

 

My bad. All I can see under his Avatar is ‘active member’. I generally don’t go stalking people and checking there profile page before answering
