Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Checked the tyre pressures with my new tyre pressure gauge

 

Finished putting her back together - decided to replace throttle cables as ones on it crap.

Giving blood on Monday, which is officially 'essential' - so will get to test everything out then!

Did the SAIS removal, started it up after and all seems fine, no test ride yet

 

With no riding I was surfing and found our TRMCC AGM video, so got a couple of choice pix of us in Nelson

 

Had to get out to get fags, so took the bike. Funnily enough I ended up at a petrol station 30 miles away to get them... was nice to be out. On my return I noticed a wet spot on the garage floor... bugger. Front left fork seal is buggered... will have to have that fixed...

 

That is b@gger mate....

 

Yep. I can't do it myself, so I hope it's not too expensive a job...

 

I hope you can find somewhere open to do the job....

 

Reset the clock!

And was amazed how simple it was compared to every other vehicle I've ever owned

Won't go to the dealers mate, there's a small shop in town who could probably use the business...

 

I wasted $45 on 2 quick release bolts for the seat don't look any good they stick out past the seat should have bought the shorter ones

 

I think everyone knows this now but going to post it anyway. No need for and MOT after 30th of march (today) an automatic extention on all car and m/cycle mots for six months.

 

Thanks yes was aware, unfortunately I got it done a few days before the announcement was made! Never mind it needed one soon

 

Sprayed the screen metallic silver, not a bad match for the stock paint, will fit it tomorrow

 

It is Tuesday of week two of our lock down and today I have done nothing. No jobs around the house or garden, nothing with by bikes, just drinking tea wtf. I did however find a picture of my 1000 vstrom and it struct me that it was very similar to my tiger sport. What do you guys think?

 

Yep a quality piece of kit. I toured all over on the vstrom, including Norway back in the day. Having said that I do like the tiger triple which I think just edges it over the suzuki in the performance stakes... Both cracking bikes

 

Went to the shop in town today to book the bike in. He'll do both seals as a precaution and charges 30% less than the dealers. He's very happy with the business.

 

Fitted the screen today after adding a decal, managed to get one crease in it and scratched the paint, but it still looks pretty good and I can redo it in the summer if I can be arsed...

 

Washed the green winter slime off the patio and now dusting off the bikes and cleaning the porch.

 

Finished doing Su's bikes as well
