Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

I have removed the (what I consider) unattractive bulky chrome exhaust system from the Speed Triple and have fitted a Scorpion Serket Taper (stainless steel) can which looks and sounds awesome!

In the next month or so i think I'll get an R&G racing tail tidy and some carbon heel guards and she'll be all set!

 

Picked up my Street striple R in Phantom black.

First ever bike and DAMN after riding from Edinburgh to Glasgow as well as kicking around some country roads, this thing is an absolute beast!

Can't wait to finish work tomorrow...

 

Love it Callum, gorgeous. I'm jealous

 

Cheers Fig!
Don't be jealous, your yellow Cup looks the absolute dogs bollocks!

 

Once bitten.

 

Really nice man! Enjoy!

 

Met crispey at Loomies for lunch.
Much bike related banter and the start of route planning for Kielder!

 

And a sausage bap!! Cheers Steve. Must admit me sausages got a bit cold on the way back, even put the heated grips on

 

Don't worry the hotdog stayed warm

 

Yes it is and we, to a man, have all come off... so believe me when I say... the bike does not slow down on its own.

 

Was supposed to meet Dozers Dad in Northampton at lunchtime, but the sole on mate Paul's boot fell off, and we were already running late, so back to his for a change of footwear and coffee. Too late to get over to Northampton so we went over to the Biggleswade/Cambridge road, did a few country twisties round Tadlow/Wendy/Shingay, a decent very late breakfast at Lazy Days cafe, Wimpole, followed by an energising blast to Cambridge and back.

Now, it's usually pretty tedious following Paul cuz he's a new and tentative rider. Today it began to click for him, so riding the twisties was rather good fun for the both of us.

 

Had a good ride with Richard leaving the old man behide on his Bonnye perhaps he needs to learn how to keep up with my street rx as it to powerful for his old mans bike great weather and good conners and the long way round to Cambridge as Richard and Martin know I am lead rider and take round turns and find good roads and get lost a bit

 

Richard on his bonnye

 

Just a quick blast over the Kimbolton Road today to give Paul some practice on the bendy bits. Bloomin' cold.

 

It sure was todayv

 

Been using the T100 all week, I must have more salt on it than the council have got in their gritters, so rinsed her down with cold water toweled her dry and applied some SF 365 for the first time and now she is all sparkly and clean

 

Like Mark, hosed off and washed a week's worth of road crud and salt off my Bonnie at lunchtime today. Sprayed on some SF365. Looking all pristine Bonnie was screaming 'Ride me!'. So 'a biker's gotta do what a biker's gotta do' and it was a solo blast round the Kimbolton Road to Higham Ferrers and back again - got to do the bendy bits rather quickly (for me at least), and back in time to see United via crickfree on the laptop rescue a point at Stoke. So looks like tomorrow's gonna be another hose and wash down to loosen up today's crud.

 

Took the Street Cup to MK today, to test new Keis heated gear:

- X25 jacket excellent
- insoles very good
- innner gloves effin useless I think they weren't working at all

Like the way they all connect through the jacket. The jacket did a really good job of keeping me warm. Back, chest and upper and lower arms all warm as toast.

The insoles also kept my feet from frosting up.

Overall pretty impressed.

 

Took it to work for the outing.

 

I have the Keis heated body warmer and heated inner gloves. Worn them through December and January including today in the freezing fog (it was sunny when I left) I have no problem keeping warm.
I've had the body warmer a year now and never had to use it above the low setting. The gloves are different in that there is no temperature control on them so they seem to keep your hands at normal temperature rather than hot like the jacket.
