Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Aah! Stop yer whinging, man

 

Have your ears recovered from last year Ade?

 

Yes, low riding experience and S1000RRs are a volatile mix! Still miles safer than an old R1 though! Glad you're happy mate - makes it worthwhile getting out of bed in the morning!

 

That is really impressive - an extra 18hp and a 1/3rd more torque at the low end is a big gain and well worth the cold shoulder at home! So, you book an appointment and just turn up with the bike? - I think the Tiger may be making the 198 mile round trip soon!

 

Thanks Ade that's really helpful

 

Come and see us - if you're not happy then you can have your money back!

 

Should be at Loomies for about 10ish

 

I've had twenty mins tinkering in me garage... all ally swarf and rubber chippings now!

 

I hope that's not the description of what's left of your bike!

 

Just a bit off here... hmm, not straight now! Bit more off this side... hmmm too much... just a light touch off this side then! Nope, that's not right... I'll just even it up a bit more...

 

Today I took the 765RS to Three Cross for it's first service, they were a bit behind so lent me a Street Triple R demo to stop me hanging around making the place look untidy!
The Speed felt physically bigger and noticeably more grunt than the Street, the gearbox though, compared to the light easy action I have become used to the Speeds felt agricultural ... bloody awful!
Overall on direct comparison I have chosen the right bike for me, not that I want to upset any Speedy owners, they are a good bike but Triumph need to work the magic on its gearbox as they have on the Street.
Anyhow the RS was done by the time I got back, so more revs available & it's all starting to feel better, went out riding for the rest of the day & now have nearly 800 miles on so a couple more rides & she'll be run in.
On the downside because Three Cross didn't supply the bike they charged me over £160 for the first service which would have been free had I taken back to Pidcocks (280 mile round trip).

 

As a Mechanic and Truck driver in the Army, we were Taught/Told to load above the Axle ! Or if that's not possible, load the forward available space first, try to balance the weight evenly with a bias to the front.

Cheers capt.

 

I can probably get there for 10:30, w€Rking late fri night.

 

Took my speedmaster and trailer to the farmyard rally up Sutton Bank for a test ride
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Loads of triumphs here
Loads of beer
What's not to like????
Got set up by my third can
Then the sun comes out to play....time to get wasted
Gonna see some bands and I'll see you all on Sunday

 

A real home from home there D.

Knockhill Brittish Superbike Weekend.

All ready, bike loaded ,checked , and route set. Off in the morning, forecast sunshine, so dog goes to kennal tonight and I leave at 5am, with any luck theres not a car on the road, there and set up in time for qualifying.

 

See how much more comfortable you can be if you tow ! and Dilligaf recons it's so easy to do ! Even as a newbie @ the trailering lark..! Way to go Dilligaf , you've cracked it & broken your hoodo and there's no fear of the unknown now.
Congrats

 

Your havin a laugh Dilligaf , !3kg gas bottle ?? Nest of hardwood tables ??
Television ??? WTF (Trailer's not that big lol)

 

That's what i was thinking don't forget he also has a bed 2 deck chairs and has even brought a rug!!,it must be like the Tardis!

 

I think our Mr DILLIGAF is not being entirely honest with us good chaps on here! ...... a previous CAR camping trip I think

 

Doh!

 

I wonder where his pink dressing gown was hanging
On top of that I noticed his Sunderland supporters cup on his bed side
table, its already to take his set of teeth - when someone wakes him up gets him back to his tent lol


The three cans while putting his tent up took its toll

 

Doing loads of late night/early morning driving recently there ain't much traffic about until you get to the diversions for all the closed roads due to roadworks, that's a bummer!!
