Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Would love to see a photo of your Street Cup with the mods, @Obijohnkenobe!

 

@littleade
Ade, best of luck with op #1 tomorrow! I'll be thinking about you and sending good vibes across the pond. Hopefully all will go smoothly and you'll be on your way to a quick and complete recovery. And you'll be prepared and practiced up for op #2. Please let us know how it goes! Though you may need to use the ne-handed hunt & peck method or voice dictation for a bit.

 

Had the first chance to have a ride in sunny weather with temperature above 70f. I just did a quick little run through the local country after work. I finally got to bed in the new EBC double H pads, and they are amazing! I’ve got no worries about having brakes now! After heat cycling them as instructed on the EBC site, they have enough grip I think I could stand the bike on its nose. Unless I was on some speed demon track somewhere I can’t see ever needing more.
Also tried out a new pair of riding jeans made by a company called Dyns, made in the EU somewhere. Not sure where. They fit really well, I’ll be doing a review later today for the clothing and gear threads.

 

Fitted my new rad guard.

 

Are those Evotech? I’ve been considering one myself for my twin.

 

Yep, Evotech. Well made and an easy fit.

 

A few photos (in the sun at last!)

A few photos now the sun finally came out!
Full list of changes: Bought the bike with wire wheels, de-cat, V&H cans and tail tidy. Added (all from ebay!) clip-on handlebars, relocated front indicators, monza fuel cap, Tec gas shocks, progressive fork springs, Street Twin seat (which I swap with the original as the mood takes me!), Tamarit side panels, high flow air filter, Thruxton tinted front screen and a couple of fork protectors. Also de-restrict cam from Tec. Would like to try painting the front mudguard with a wide silver and then thin yellow stripes. Got a cheap used one in case it goes wrong/looks rubbish! Would like some rear-sets but oh so expensive!

 

Not much but I put on some genuine triumph decals on the carbon tank/battery cover.
To me, it looked wrong being just carbon and needed them back on. £42 though but makes it look way better imo.
Then, bloody cleaning up for tomorrow...!!

 

Hmmm....

 

Hi @Sandi T !!!
My son gave it to me as a good luck charm after my hayabusa accident 16yrs ago and it follows me on every bike i've had since!
He called it leo (his idea) and i've not had a ticket or wobble since!
Needs cleaning every few months but it's my biking chum!

 

That's AWESOME, D2t! Leo is clearly a very powerful good luck charm. What a great little biking chum. Plus Leo looks like he enjoys the rides based on his wild mane! What a sweet thing for your son to do for his dad.

 

Good twisty ride with the club and a nice lunch of fish and chips

 

Great mix of Triumphs in the club!

 

Sure is @SleepyOwl a new Trident from a traded Bonnie Speedmaster and Tigers of all kinds from the Thunderbird riders waiting for a new model.
We still have many old school Storm and Rocket riders to keep the balance up

 

Where was it? Behind the sofa, in the attic, or in a cardboard box in the shed?!?

 

Took my tiger out to play a little in the dirt.

 

hahahahahaha


That was on the road back, once I found a spot where I didn’t think the bike would fall over on itself in soft ground

 

Started the break in miles on my 1200 XE. What an awesome bike. I started gathering parts to change lights front an back, windshield, bar roll, mirrors. Now I just have to stop riding long enough to put on her new parts and make her my own.

 

You'll find this to be a bit of a tough crowd at times, Aaron. A commonly used phrase on this forum is "no pictures--didn't happen".

 

Hi @Dartplayer !
What are the owners thoughts on the trident?
I prefer the look of that design more than the big logo tank version imo.
Looks a nice day!
