    Did about a hundred miles today after its 1st service, about 5 miles of that was on a wet road. This is what you get with a tail tidy and a chopped down front mudguard, style over substance but wouldn't change a thing. Glorious ride though, up to Marlow and across to Aylesbury then home.

    Son might be earning his pocket money tomorrow.

    That’s why I love summer days after dry roads for a couple of weeks:)
    Spent too many hours cleaning Moto-x bikes to enjoy it now

    If I were you I'd be changing that rad guard for something more substantial. You get muck and grit plus salt its plays havoc with those fins.

    I possibly saw you today, heading back from Aylesbury towards Amersham after 4pm

    If you fancy a ride out or a get together this spring, drop me a line.
    There are a few on this forum in the surrounding area

    You know I would love to tag along if you sort something out. There is a few of us around perhaps we could get some sort of meet going.
    Regards
    Joe.

    You do know that riding your bike in inclement weather invalidates your Triumph warranty? :p
    Took my new Tiger out for it's first run on Thursday, I made sure I rode between the damp patches and salt particles though, so as not to void the warranty.....:D

    Could have been me if it was nearer to 3pm. I'd love to meet up for a run, often ride up to On Yer Bike in Bicester for a bacon roll, some lovely roads around there.
    I'm hoping most of the salt was washed away by recent rain but you are right, I have used my motorcycle in inclement conditions and Triumph cannot be held responsible!
    Cheers
