Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Great road, too!

 

Met up with the TOMCC Berks lads for a drink and a burger. Nice evening talking bikes, organs and Diesel oil.

 

After my tire change on the BONNIE yesterday (https://www.thetriumphforum.com/threads/new-tires-for-my-bonnie.35184/), I was able to enjoy the new driving experience today on the ride to the office! Even on cobblestones you notice the much better road holding and the higher ride comfort of the new tires.

 

I had a few hours out this morning as I have some time off work. Stopped for a coffee at an airfield where a chinook was paying a visit and managed to beat the rain . This time last year I was feeling nervous / excited about my CBT the next morning and now I'm riding about happily on my own bike!

 

@Mrs Visor: Great pictures!

 

I let the heli refuel and leave before I left myself, I've been in their downwash on a fair few occasions and attempting to ride slowly through it as it was right on the edge of the road would not have been smart .

 

Had a brilliant run yesterday down by Knockhill and Falkland on some fantastic roads with my mate no pics though, but this is a picture from Thursday especially for @Sprinter

 

Im a city slicker tonight,took the scenic route down from Aberdeenshire through Braemar Pitlochery Creif Callander. Top roads beautiful Scotland all around. Only stopped to fill the bike with fuel. Now it's my turn. I will enjoy that tractor pick tomorrow when I'm back home in t countryside. Cheers.

 

George Thorogood and the Destroyers one night only. Things is, no one except Dougie, has heard of em? Go figure.

 

Enjoy James,they don't know what they're missing!

 

Nevermind the price of petrol. I'm not going to tell you how much this was...

 

Stumbled on it myself. Looking for a local performance of Waiting for Godot.

 

Definitely gonna know this time .. got so prepared last time I passed out and my filthy mates ??? waited until the end to wake me (pricks thought it funny as hell) ... !!!! Son rang to say he's got all tickets for October, so ... not to forget the matchsticks !

 

Wow, great great gig.

Heading home.

 

Hope you dodge the showers

 

I enjoyed a 3-hour ride today in moderate summer temperatures (max.27 degrees Celsius). On small country roads I rode with my BONNIE through two provinces.
At the end I invited me to friends for a coffee, which I will enjoy soon.
After that, my BONNIE must hold out a few days in the garage, because I will be on the road with my Honda first across Austria and then to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the background is the castle of Forchtenstein

 

That looks beautiful @Markus - wishing you a safe and enjoyable journey on your Honda.

 

@Mrs Visor: Thank you! The next days will be very intensive and interesting. I will come up with a report and some photos until next week.

 

You will certainly get to experience some beautiful sights.

 

Not with my Triumph but i wished not was!
Been on Tenerife for some weeks and got tired of laying on playa so rented a bike. No Triumphs so got a BMW F800R. What a disappointment it was.
The good parts first, double Brembo radials in front, really good. Easy on parking manoeuvres compared with my Cup, wondering if Triumph were fully aware of the cable harness problem and restricted the steering angle as a band aid to win some time? OK chassie on the serpentine roads but not better than the Cup, mine has YSS front and rear suspension though.
Rest of the Beemer was disappointing, the engine (90hp/80Nm) felt weaker than my 900 and sounds like a scooter, gearbox was awful clunky and the clutch then, we are so spoiled with the lightweight torque assist clutch on the Triumphs. Have found new muscles on my left hand after 2 days in the twisties.
The roads and scenery on Tenerife are just wonderful for biking. The lava desert is like from another planet, the Planet of Apes movie was actually filmed here and some of the roads were used in one of the Fast and Furious movies.
