    Body recovered from track day flogging, so went for a lovely summer pub lunch.
    Highway 16 repairs made it a fun and safe ride :p (after recent years :poop:).
    Weather was overcast, so not too hot :cool:
    Spoilt ourselves with the lunch, from the new menu (no laksa :sob:)

    I have a set of auxiliary lights, the triumph dealer told me not to cut any wires for the installation, so I just wired directly to the battery ... this was ok for a few months but I frequently left them on and the battery was not affected, until this past weekend. There was a bit of a problem when I arrived at a restaurant with my group, and in the rush to helping forgot the light again .. the meal took a while and the battery ran low, lucky someone had a set of jump wires and we were off in no time.

    Long story to say I finally wired the relay of the lights to the rear light :) it is the yellow wire in the connector located under the seat and under the cell phone charger

    Started putting newly rebuilt powder coated / anodised suspension back on the Thruxton.
    Couldn’t bolt yoke clamps up ‘cos wasn’t happy with painting on steering stem nut so done it again.
    Got a few more ideas for its winter uplift but happy with these bits.

    P/S .. what brand are the reverse cone " mufflers, " they have the look of being able to give that 'nasty' sound that the 270o engines can give, without being overly loud. Asking for a friend ... ;)

    Not much other than run it up for an hour. Cant wait to get it MOT`d come spring.
    Once again started 2nd revolution of the engine so well chuffed with the work i did on it before xmas. Fan came on & works a treat. Once MOT`d i`ll put it up for sale as i wont use it much if at all. I`m just happy to resurrect one:)

    They're Westlake Shorty Pro cans and yes combined with the removal of the cat make it sound like a motorbike should!

    Got his and hers out in the sun for a pre season check over and clean. The 2001 Suzuki has only 1495 miles on the clock and had never had MOT , it was stored as part of a large collection a year after purchase that the collectors family didn’t know about until he passed

    Sunday ride with another Tiger 900 and a HD street
    A more relaxed ride, the HD struggles with the broken pavement that the Tiger's just ride over without a second thought
    A nice sunny Sunday with good company, breakfast was tacos with birria, the place was full with a long line standing outside, the owner was giving away free cookies to the people on line to keep them motivated :)
    The wait was not even 10 minutes

    "Mondo". On my America, if you got the whole factory kit, it came with the factory plug-in relay and all the original wiring harness and would go on and off with the ignition switch.[ I wonder if Triumph did the same on your model]. I added the factory kit to mine a couple of years ago. I am now converting them to LED's to save power when they are on and using yellow LED's to make me more visible in California traffic. Here are the bulbs I am using [available on the internet] ...J.D.

    Today I waited until 10am for it to ‘warm up’ to zero Celsius, then after brushing the frost off my bike seat headed off down to the Cotswolds :grinning:

    Rode on quite a few new-to-me roads, some planned and some forced by random road closures, and after 6 hours and 180 miles arrived back home.

    That's a long ride for such a cold day, @brown mouse! What gear do you wear for a ride like that of today? Beautiful photo, BTW. :heart_eyes:
