Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Have you seen that advert on TV and the little girls pink bike is the only means of transport in the garage

 

I thought Dave had more than one bike a KTM and a Triumph, he had to sell both of them that's sad

 

I'd pay good money to see that!

 

Ahem, thank you for that aid Ade - but I assure you that it won't be necessary. Apparently bike security chains in Northern France are as soft as cheese. I'll be on the look-out for an XrX then.

Actually I've heard there's a real nice blue one, just about brand new, near Winchester...........................................................................

 

Oh come on!! You have to give Dave a bit of street cred, I'll have some handlebar tassles to flog him too!

 

That is BAD ASS - I like it. To hang on my wall

I see I'm in the chair but just remember chaps, "Revenge is a dish best served cold"

 

Thursday was forecast to be sunny - so I arranged four work appointments, which means that I could ride around most of the day and get paid for it!

 

Hang on Dave I can see you are being lured by these heartless buggers.

 

They don't know yet what's coming, Pete. But we'll see who has the last laugh - it inevitably won't be me, never is

Sunny again today - bugger! bugger! bugger! bugger! bugger! bugger! bugger! bugger!

 

Cold here today Dave - but out anyway.

 

You know you're not helping don't you

However, just got back from having a VERY nice lunch with Wend. There's a new Chinese place opened in Gueret. Mon to Sat lunch, 15€ for all you can eat and drink. VAST selection of food and drink.

 

Sand and colour today! Got a smoked trick light aswell and a nice tail tidy to install tomorrow when it's complete

 

Told you it was easy, and you'll feel great when you have the finished product

 

Washed it.
New horn to fit tomorrow ready for MOT,might give it a polish as well.
Found out the brake lights not working off the front lever now as well,new switch ordered.

 

Fingers crossed, it does seem to easy! Hopefully the colour matches, will find out after a few more base coats I'll offer it up. If it comes out ok I'll give the damaged seat cowl a go!

 

Been packing the Trophy ready for the big ride. I have to do over 600 kms tomorrow to get to Rostock. Weather here is still cold (around 5-6 degrees C) been pondering about using the car, but you guys wouldn't let me forget it. I keep telling myself not to wuss out.

 

Getting there , few more coats yet. Any advice how long to leave after final base coat and clear coat? So much conflicting information online

 

Decided to unpack the bike. I wussed out. Gonna be warm and cosy in the car. I just couldn't face 7 hours in the cold . My Trophy doesn't have heated grips or seat.
It'll still be fun though.

 

Now that you've done it, I'll admit I would have done the same!!

 

I guess it's down to a couple of factors, how warm the room is and how thick the layers. Generall a minimum of 45 mins but if you touch it and it's a little tacky is recommended, does it say anything on the product?
