Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Finishing touches to my T595 Top Yoke conversion today. Really pleased with the results.

Needed to get some groceries.
Went outside, looked at bike tucked up under it's cover.
Looked up at the rain, just so some could run down my neck.
Thought about waterproofs and thermals.
Thought F. That.
Went and got in the car.

 

Wise choice. Wise man. Isn't it nice to have an alternative to the bike?

 

Too true. An avid snowboarder I know suggested on a FB post that 50% of the year should be winter - she lives in the Cairngorms where winter = snow. I live on the east side of the Pennines where winter = mostly rain and snow. My response F. No!
I do like her so she can have 4 months, that wouldn't make a difference here.

 

Well we managed to get home Sandi, Wessa, DCs et all. 12 hours, 2 taxis, 1 ferry, 1 aircraft and a lift in some kindly friends car and we are home. Was it worth it, oh yes.

 

@Oldskool, good to hear it fella... mind you, with another storm brewing, bet you’d have happily stayed out there till it’s blown over?

 

That does make one rethink choices.

 

So glad you are home safe and sound, @Oldskool. What an ordeal!

 

I fitted some rear R&G spindle bobbins to the T595 today so I can use my universal Oxford paddock stand. What I didn’t anticipate is not being able to spin the back wheel because the bobbins spin with the wheel. Doh!!

 

Bugger all again .... made sausages instead...

 

BBQ out tonight @Vulpes

 

That'll be tomorrow mate!

 

Really? Maybe they need to be greased up?

 

Yeah, I thought that and even removed and refitted them to be sure but then I looked it up and they are supposed to move with the wheel. On a single sided swinging arm fitment anyway.

Oh well, no biggy.

 

Breakfast for one??!!!

 

Lol stupid old me. I thought you were replying to the sausages a couple of posts ago. Wondered why they needed greasing. Doh.

 

Started my project on the Rocket. Pieces removed and taken to paint shop, Radiator cowl changed and considering which way to go with the tail tidy

 

Ran up to the local rip off merchants to brim the tank before I leave it to go to work.
Came home rinsed it off and wrapped it up.
That'll be it until next year , so at least two and a half weeks before it gets out again.

 

Exposed "Big Fatty" today and worked out my wire re route and tail tidy. Ordered some parts and confirmed pricing of painting all me bits! Will keep you up to date.

 

went for a ride and parked up with all the Harleys, at a harley bike shop, had a look at the ev Harley not that impressed at $36000 au
