Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Only the best from Dundee..

 

Well , not today, but bought this week 26 yr old beastie, for my Cousin Alistair. He is coming over to Western Australia in September. He sent me the money, we exchanged details of what he was interested in .

So Ta Da
Here it is on the day I picked her up
She shows her age up close , scratches which are age appropriate as they say..... !
Been for a few rides , mostly 100 plus Miles each , she is running better each ride ! Stale fuel etc has a lot to do with the initial poor response and running.
I can't wait for my Older Cousin to arrive ! He's older by around 30 Days he was born late Dec 61 , My birthday 21 Jan 62 !! He hated Christmas as a Child, only got presents once a year

 

Jeezus mate .. from the look of the plate, that may not have been the first beer of the day ?

 

The rain finally stopped long enough to get in an hour ride.

 

Snap @Dawsy I tested positive on Friday with the wife, laid up since. Got up today, feeling a little better. Don’t feel strong enough just yet to get on the bike.

 

Agreed no fun at all. I started with a runny nose Friday morning and by tea time was in bed. Didn’t get up until today. Throat and chest were on fire and the cough is really painful. Hopefully on the mend now, and not sorry about that at all. If having had the jabs reduced the impact, I’m so glad I had them cause that has been bad enough.

 

Wishing you both a swift recovery.

 

I did my usual commute today with a little extra travel between sites added in - beautiful weather and the route between the work sites is also a beauty, so all good .

 

Wishing you and Mrs a quick recovery @Wessa, bikes are waiting

 

Yesterday actually.

Rode escort to a good friend from his funeral in church to his burial at a nearby cemetery. One of his relatives on a black Honda Rebel rode alongside as well. He was carried in a sidecar hearse attached to a T120 black. He would have loved the sight and sound of those three twins.

His last bike was an imported black Honda Valkyrie, which sadly he had to sell about 11 years ago when he developed a series of crippling diseases.

I met him about a year ago when he and I were staying on the same cardiac ward (his pacemaker/defibrillator was failing and I had myocarditis).

He was the kindest, most compassionate, interesting and interested person you could hope to meet, with a lovely close family (who will miss him enormously).

It was a truly positive funeral and whilst its a bit of a cliché; our loss is certainly Heaven's gain.

I'm glad I have a bike to have been able to do that for him.

 

Lovely story @RevPaul

 

I used my wife's Bonnie today for the ride to and from the office so she wouldn't have to stand so sadly in the garage while my honey is working abroad. A few of my colleagues were irritated for a short time, as they suspected another motorcycle change on my part. After a brief explanation that it was only a motion ride, everyone was reassured again.

 

got a text from a mate saying he's just bought a used Harley and if i fancied a run this afternoon with another mate who also has a Harley, so the 3 of us went up past Banchory and took the Slug Rd down to Stonehaven for Fish and chips
stopped of at Ballater for a coffee


then headed on past Ballater where we took the slug Rd down to Stonehaven which is a great fun Rd
Stonehaven harbour

 

Commute again for me today. Rain, sun, rain on the way there, sun on the way back .

 

@Dougie D: Great pictures again! Cool bikes!

 

Today I did the same like yesterday with the TIGER 900 of my wife and used it for a ride to and from the office. This time my colleagues weren`t irritated.

 

Took the mrs' striple to work today.

 

Has she had a go on your speedy yet?

 

Not yet - and that'll be a while, too!
She's still getting used to her striple.
We're off to Limburg in the South for a long weekend on the bikes 1st weekend of September.

 

Nice one,enjoy your long weekend
