Think I passed that when I was out and about yesterday. Caught my eye because of the paint job (my 'Modern Classic' is a copy by the looks of it).
Apologies to the owners for their absence......but couldn't spot them in the time we had available Had trouble getting fuel......................
Not doing anything with my Triumph today, waaay too hot and sunny, but did end up doing a bit of a marathon ride around the Peak District yesterday; set off at 8:00 got back 18:30 and 8 hours in the saddle according to satnav. Weather was rather cloudy and I ended up chasing the promised sunny intervals. At one point going over snake pass and spotting blue skies south, Hope valley way, so I went via Glossop and Chapel-en-le-Frith to get there only to find it a bit cloudy and that the blue bits were north, over snake pass way. Doh! Anyway, proper sun came mid afternoon which I why ended up being out so long. A couple of photo's from Edale valley...
No date yet. I am a bit locked in, as PayPal did the transaction and I will not be refunded their fees and exchange rate difference. Bought at 1.23 rate, but now Sterling is going for almost 1.30. I looked at Feked before choosing Hyde. Oh well.
Bought it this time last year but been tempted to go back to the Tiger. So a Tiger Sport arrives next week !
Thanks It is mate it’s been under a cover in my garage since last September, just needed dusted rather than anything else.
Hopefully being delivered on Thursday,16plate so more technically advanced than my last one ..07 plate. Here’s The only pic I have at the moment.
I'm off to Midland Perth today . I was in Midland last weekend and bought a new battery for my 2009 America. The battery was ok for two days !! Died Monday afternoon , Think it dropped a cell. Using automotive Battery tester , says "voltage" unstable" can't do a load test , as the bench tester won't load * battery has to be present before load testing is possible. So I'm off in a bit , going to take the Bike , using a borrowed battery to get there , the shop will test and install new ! In situ . cheers capt
@Duckadiledundee , cheers guys , back from Midland Perth, sorted with another new battery The original dropped a cell or some part of the internal lead platform fractured and so the Voltage was unstable and no Amp's for cranking !! I also went into JCS Triumph dealership , enquired about costs of the following electrical parts , in case battery wasn't the cause. Stator $765•95 , Regulator/Rectifier $547•30 , low fuel warning sensor ~$230 bugger me these Triumphs are expensive to repair !! I ordered a new Neutral switch ~$47•00 , as my original is leaking oil through the switch body , not past the threads . So I've ridden about 130kms since new battery today, several stops and restarting and all appears to be going well so far , I was worrying about stator and rectifier ! But seems my tests before covid19 came about , weren't lying Sooo happy . cheers all capt
MOT time today... passed only advisory was rear wheel alignment slightly out, so I've just ordered a laser tool to hopefully help sort it.
I am actually writing down the VIN number of my bike so I can be assured of ordering the correct parts.
Will do, this is the one I've ordered: https://www.bikermart.co.uk/Profi-Products-Laser-Chain-Alignment-Tool-D~CAT-Dot I had the rear tyre replaced about a week ago, and when I refitted the wheel I was trying to be careful to get the alignment right, using the swing arm markers, measuring with a steel rule from the end of the swing arm, and using one of those crappy chain alignment tools with a metal rod that clamps to the rear sprocket... but I obviously didn't get it good enough , hence getting the laser tool. The MOT chap said that it wasn't too bad, and better than he had seen the dealers do, and although good enough for an MOT pass, he recommened trying to get it spot on.
