Just dropped the '21 R3GT off at my local shop. Heated grips stopped working over the weekend. While the temps aren't bad in the southern USA those grips are still awfully nice to have.
Agree @Sandi T, the standard pillion is suited to being the backrest I hope to get some good pix from her favourite spots
Are American's allowed to say 'awfully nice'? I thought that was reserved for us English chaps. Unless you're an ex-pat of course.
No, we all know only the Grand Canyon deserves the adjective awesome and certainly not a pair of heated grips.
I think that would be a combo of spell check and not re-reading my post for accuracy. Image is from the Blue Ridge Parkway outside of Asheville, North Carolina. This was from back in the summer when I first bought the R3GT. I certainly can't complain about having this stretch of road in my geographical back yard.
I know I've said "awfully nice" many times over the years, @beerkat. But now that I think about it, that phrase is certainly an oxymoron whether said by an American or an English chap.
Locally, there are several counter intuitive colloquialisms, possibly my favourite/most used is “… g’t la’le…” (pronounced gut larl). Meaning great little, or very small.
Been 10 whole days without a ride and was starting to get twitchy, so took advantage of the mostly sunny and unseasonably warm weather. (14C!) Used a tank of petrol riding country roads all day Guess what I'll be doing with my Triumph tomorrow...? Good job Santa brought me some bike cleaning brushes
That looks a lot like my tiger did after a ride yesterday in the pouring rain. Cleaned and dried before putting it away. Don’t like putting the bike away dirty.
Took Speed Triple for mot, passed of course. So barring last minute slip ups it's on its way a week on Sunday.....
Not an intention. It's engraved in stone, and seeing how I'm on a payed 30 day furlough right now between projects and it's not even noon yet I can go at whatever pace I want. Have fun freezing, Lincolnshire.
Stopped into the donkey joint for a quick mineral water with organic lemon wedge and spring water ice.
Couldn’t think where to post this, but searching our trip video, I found the dvr was not on for that exciting part of the ride. So we have to go again
