Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

had a little breakfast run over to Arnside yesterday. Just nice to go out and come home dry.

 

Didnt put a letter in the mailbox a few days ago for mothersday. So i deliverd it myself.

 

Wow I like the colour, very nice

 

Had a lovely evening run over the Snake Pass, then up to Holme Moss and back over Strines. The warmer weather certainly wakes up the flies, had to brush my teeth when I got back!
Regarding the riding modes I've been experimenting with, I've found the ABS is quite intrusive and will activate with "spirited" riding on dry roads if the surface is anything other than perfect, which can be a bit unnerving TBH. ABS isn't adjustable other than being disabled at the rear and reduced at the front in OFF ROAD mode which lights up a warning on the dash.

 

Yes my 765 is the same, abs on or off and no option of level selectable.
My mate just got a 2017 765 and he already has a 60 plate Ducati. He tried telling me he was going to tone it down a bit and was somewhat surprised when I told him that wasn't possible.
Eh, but, my significantly older Ducati has four levels or something

 

I used rain mode around the city, on the Speedmaster, as it was less snatchy.

 

Beautiful clear days and sunrise and sunsets, at the moment as winter sets in and we have solar storms/lights.
Day started at 4’c/39’f and climbed to 17’c/63’f, so perfect with blue skies

Aurora (Solar light)s over our local Puketutu Island


Trip up to Leigh Sawmill cafe, for Mother’s Day ride through the twisties


We arrived early, so enjoyed the warmth before being asked in before noon opening






quick refreshment

meals were great in the grotto




Afternoon clouds forming

 

Looks like a great trip @Dartplayer and I love the picture of your sunrise, absolutely stunning.

 

Yesterday, I took the wife out for a ride to Seaways on the street twin.
One of my mates wanted a blast so we arranged to meet there around 14.00

Sunny weather certainly brought the bikers out



Things didn't quite go to plan as my mates 765 lost a gear linkage bolt so ended up stuck in fourth
A friendly farmer came to his aid with an M6 bolt to get him on his way by which time he was over an hour late
I started getting a little concerned and planned to ring once the hour late had passed but he bet me to it, how did we ever manage before mobile phones?

And here's a new beastie I bought at the car boot sale, before the ride, for the grandkids

 

Packed the Street Triple up to send it off, ready for 4 days at Almeria next week
Trying out race shift this time and also put a woolich box on it which, apparently, removes the speed limiter.
It is in there somewhere...

 

Removed the seat from my 2010 Bonneville se to have it modified to make it more comfortable and keep the looks. Took it here to have a gel pad fitted,haven’t gone far on it yet but I can notice the difference already, much better. Links below for info on the work and where it was done.

Cheers @Wessa, I’ve never seen Aurora lights this far north before. Must be the perfectly clear days over the last week. Some guys posting night fishing pix showing the lit sky

 

Nasty rainy day so best place to be was in the garage. Finally got round to replacing a warped front brake disc on my Speed Triple 1050 RS and fitted a complete set of new pads. I was expecting the disc bolts to be hard to remove as Triumph usually use red threadlock on their encapsulated fasteners, but was surprised that blue had been used so they came undone with little effort and no heat required.

 

Just gave it a damn good clean

 

That is looking fabulous

 

lovely run out for breakfast.
Over Fleet Moss towards Hawes, then towards Garsdale and over the coal road to Dent Station. Through Dent and over Barbondale for breakfast at Casterton golf club. Returning home via Bentham, Lythe felll road to Slaidburn, Gisburn, Elslack, Crosshills and back home.

 

Fun in the sun...

A pic from the weekend, bike ride and a beer, well small shandy lol.

 

Glad to see you got out with a new group, @Martine! Sounds like a fun day with motorcycles, beautiful roads, good folks, and delicious food. That about covers some of the most important things in life!

 

That aurora is absolutely AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL, @Dartplayer!!!!!
