Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Ooh! Just spotted you’ve got one of those Bell 500 helmets in the fancy green paint job.
I really liked that but couldn’t get hold of one

 

Functional Check Flight one day earlier than expected. Ops check good!

 

I have been looking for 3 years and it came up on fleabay new for £90.00 a few months back so pressed buy it now lol

 

Yes I’ve seen a few on there but never in my size.

 

Just keep looking as they are out there, all of our helmets have been won for pennies over time

 

Dog watch at two bells.
Inertia slows the workman.
Light wanders in through streaked windows.
The dust hangs like gauze sepia.

Offices are blank.
Closed doors and dark lamps.
A lonely beaver whittles on.
I retrieve my gear in silence.

Dry heat from tarmac.
Our star radiates steep angles
The next shift, aimless, wanders in.
Lucifer waits.

The cool air streams across me.
RS sets the tone.
Sodden drivers on cell.
Oblivious to creation.

Across the stream and up the hill.
Take the clear left with rocks skipping.
Open it up.
Blow the angst onto the slipstream.

My ride home from work.

 

Love the poem, love the bike but does it say 'Grinder carpets' on the shop sign?

 

"Grunder", among other random services. A very small village, this.
I see this place often, but rarely open for business. I guess you have to know somebody...

 

Tuning carbs and no flutes in pipes.

 

My new arrival delivered today, loving it. I will post some pictures in the non triumph thread

 

My new comfort dual seat arrived today
Before:


And after:

And rain predicted tonight and tomorrow

 

365, man, 365.

 

Not for a joy ride in this weather, it’s pissing it down

 

This thread was overdue a philosophical/philological point......

The expression the ‘exception that proves the rule’ is universally misused. It does NOT mean that an exception proves the truth of the rule. It simply means that by recognising an exception you are actually acknowledging there IS a rule in the first place.

Yeah, I thought so too.......

 

Not in the sun soaked Scottish Borders.

 

We so rarely see rain here we intentionally go for a ride in it to celebrate it.

 

You would be on your bike very often if you lived in the UK

 

I'd probably be tired of it if that were the case. I sure wouldn't mind visiting someday, though. Try as I did I could never get an assignment in the UK or even Europe for that matter. I spent my overseas years in Japan and Saudi Arabia.

 

Pity you would have loved it, mind Japan and Saudi dont sound to shabby..........

 

I’d take Japan but most of Saudi is a sh@thole from my experience
