Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

That safari must have been fantasic - I did safari in Tanzania, but all in landrovers. That was great too, but on horseback has got to be something else!

 

It was fantastic. Normally there were about 6 riders and the 2 rangers in the group, but for the last 2 days it was just me and the 2 rangers so we took more chances and saw more wildlife. If I remember right about 1 in 10 rhino encounters end up with a charge. I asked what to do if that happened and got the obvious answer, just hang on, the horse will get away but won't care if you are still on it. Saying that, a horse was killed 2 weeks before my trip but that is very rare. It's incredible how large an animal can still be so hard to spot until you are quite close, but I got my eye in eventually. We got heart stoppingly close to a mother and calf, also galloped inside a herd of zebra and wildebeest, so close I could have touched them if I wasn't so intent on staying on the horse.

 

That sounds absolutely fantastic! Experience of a lifetime!

 

After nearly three weeks of bike repair and maintenance, I got to enjoy the countryside Last chance before weather gets melty...

 

Time for a brake? It's a time warp. Brakes are so smooth now.

 

What a perfect day @RevPaul (I was going to say apart from almost losing the bike....but you didn't, so I think that qualifies as a big win too!).

 

@Sprinter: Your watch looks great!!!

 

@RevPaul: Great report with wonderful pictures!!!

 

On the weed again James?

 

Great ride summary @RevPaul love the picture with your bike in the ford.

 

A nice ride with mrs. V

 

British Bike do at,Sammy Millers,today.Some nice bikes in the car park.

 

Ride out today to Ace Cafe.
While there I bought a couple of new patches for my cutoff. The old AceCafe patch is a wee bit worse for wear.

 

Another great day out in the sun Su still has a grin after getting best bike from Sammy's pic of the day

 

Result! Excellent, congrats!

 

@Helmut Visor (on his Tuono) and I did a fun local loop this morning with the bonus of minimal traffic and stopped on the way home for coffee at Dom's Bike Stop. Seems like everyone else had had the same "get out earlier than usual" idea today as the car park was packed!

 

I went for a lovely 94 mile Mountain run to celebrate my Mum's 94 Birthday , bless her everlovin Irish soul.

 

Nice, Greywolf, Special occasion

 

Little run out down to Goodwood and back…!

 

Finally got round to playing with the suspension settings on my Thruxton R.
Went to pretty much comfort settings and took her for a thrash over the Lecht road to Granton on Spey.
Much improved ride and still able to get it right over through the bends.
Wish I had done it ages ago!
