Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

staring at mine through shed window in the pouring rain

 

Quite chuffed,
my old Sprint has just be advertised by the s/dealer, and is described as "stunning example must be seen" and the last one a 955i was "a very clean example"and " Evidently a well cared for bike"
Satisfying, if costly way to get an ego boost.

 

Thanks Andy.

 

Nice weather James

 

That was the worst of it I missed the rain and just got the wet.

 

Im lost for words.
I enjoyed that,
I went out thinking, Ill review this, you know, go through the categories, comfort, engine, handling,etc.
Sod that.
Too busy having fun.
Forres, Grantown on Spey, Aberlour, Dufftown ,Huntly, some of these roads Ive not been on.

 

Great to hear your'e enjoying the bike there are some cracking roads up there..hope you wern't doing a bit sampling on the whisky trail

 

I kept thinking I should be stopping and taking photos of of these Distilleries, ( for our foreign whisky drinking friends), the thing is I dont like stopping for photos, so I kept moving, and took a photo of the bakers instead.
The road between Aberlour and Dufftown is a smasher ,or its maybe the bike, I was getting the feeling someone has been stealing all the corners, or straightening the road in,front of me.
Triumph technicians I supposed.

 

Have you had the chance to check if the bike has been lowered yet, looking at the pics of the bike being washed it’s obvious the forks are way down in the yolks, I’d say at least 15mm?

 

I thought that, and Ive checked it against others, in fact they are spot on.

 

As long as you’re happy with it mate that’s cool, a lot different to mine though.
Edit. Actually, now I’ve looked properly the forks have gone UP in the yolks.

 

Its exactly as you said before Yorkshireman 5 mm above the line. Cheers for that.

 

Dont understand your edit whos have gone up?
Mine havnt moved

 

You drinking?

 

Think he’s pissed mate

Or it might be me

 

Yes!

 

Good man

 

Ok, I get that you haven’t moved them but here is a photo of mine for comparison.
See that line below the yolk, that is a 10mm gap. It used to be 5mm before I “lowered” the fork in the yolk. Looking at yours there is much more fork above the yolk leading me to suspect that someone has moved the fork UP through the yolk, I suspect to correct the ride height after a rear suspension lowering kit has been fitted.
Back to my drink now dilli

 

Again...good man
