    Ian was very helpful to me when I wanted to source a seat cowl and I have been talking to Chris booking my service for my Street Triple in a few weeks' time and he has also been brilliant to deal with :).

    I nipped onto town for a bit of shopping and decided to take the long way home via a run out into the Peak District and maybe call at the Strines Inn for a refreshment. Unfortunately, there must have been an accident somewhere as the Police diverted everyone onto a narrow B road which turned into a " Single track with passing places" bottleneck. Sat in stationary traffic for ages with no room to pass in a 29 degC nightmare, I felt like one of those cook-in-the-bag chickens and never did get to the Strines!:mad:

    Gutted! Never like to hear this about new equipment.

    Had a lovely evening stitching together a trip through Devon and Cornwall. Plenty of others out too, a few even seemed friendly!

    Yeah, can't say I'm a fan of having it happen either. However, I'm hoping that once this episode finishes, my bike will have gotten its dose of drama out of the way, and we can get down to having some serious fun together.

    :)

    I had a few hours out this morning around the Brecon Beacons - a lot chillier than I had anticipated :confounded::p.

    I had to have a new cylinder head on my new R1 in '98 when a small weep of coolant from the head gasket turned out to be a flaw in the head casting. I was gutted, not helped by my inherent mistrust of dealers but, fair play to them, I got the bike back looking and running perfectly! :grinning:

    Sounds like an adventure, @Pegscraper. But unfortunately, not the good kind. :mad: Mr. Sandi and I and our two riding buddies had a similar "adventure" a few days ago on our big summer trip. I can completely relate to your comment about feeling like a cook-in-the-bag chicken. Fortunately there were very few other instances of road work that affected us to any degree. It's miserable stand in stock still in traffic on a motorcycle with no idea how long you'll be like that.

    Early this morning my wife and I took our TIGERs to Birkfeld in Styria to visit our trusted Triumph dealer (www.gesslbauer.at). After about 100 km of travel in partly cool conditions, we arrived on site at about 0745 hours. Our TIGERs each receive a major service (20,000 and 32,000 km respectively) and therefore have to stay overnight, as this service can only be carried out when the engines are cold. Parallel to this, they then also get new tires. For the waiting time we should have got a Triumph Trident and an alternative to my 1200 TIGER. Unfortunately, however, the Trident
    was "scraped" by the last user. Therefore, my wife had to ride as a pillion with me and tomorrow I may then "deliver" her again. With her is a moderate enthusiasm, since she is actually an exclusive self-driver.
    To our surprise, I got a new 1200 TIGER Rally Pro for the next 2 days.
    Meanwhile I rode 260 km with it and found that I miss my 2020 1200 TIGER. The new one is top of the line, lighter and easy to control, but it doesn't "kick" me the way my own does.
    Until the pickup tomorrow it will be another 280 km. After that I share with you my further experience.

    Commute for me again today; amazing weather still so making the most of it before the rain appears again.

    On Sunday when I was out in the Brecon Beacons there was a photographer there, I have finally got some pictures of me on my bike :).
