Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

What a grand experience, @Mrs Visor! How cool that you did a track day and that you were on your own bike. It sounds like you had great fun! Looking forward to some more photographs when you see the pics from the track photographer.

I remember that "buzz" about which you spoke from back when I did a Keith Code Superbike School weekend in Las Vegas. We didn't ride our own bikes, though, and were on BMW S1000RR's. I also thought that it was one of the best things I'd done on a bike--and still do! It really is a growth experience, eh? Cool that you get to do a Part 2 in July!

Here's a link from a thread I posted on the forum back when I did track school. The weekend was a 60th birthday gift from my hubby.

Thanks @Sandi T, that looks and sounds as if it was great, I can't claim that my track experience took place in Las Vegas though!!

 

It was not me @Sandi T but the bike had moved on to my eldest son about 6 months ago, he was very lucky that day although obviously he couldn't see that at the time.
He was upset about it as he really loved that bike and was looking after it well including recently putting Michelin Road 6's on it and we'd replaced the stator and regulator.

Once I'd removed the front sprocket and oil seal the outcome was inevitable.

We sold it complete a few nights ago, fully declaring the damage and stated to the buyer that we could show him it ran.
Very hard to accept that the engine was basically scrap when it instantly started on the button from cold and sounded like it did with the baffle less Arrow cans.

He stripped it the following day and sent pictures of the internals. Basically the whole gear set and shafts are trash but I fear the bearing housing will have scrapped the crankcases.
