Good to hear nothing serious and hope it can be sorted out soon
Is that a bad joke?

Wrote a maintenance spreadsheet for the Triumph and then order consumables for both the Triumph and Honda.

The right heated grip has failed. Almost 3 years service so that's not bad going.

Shaved at least 5kg of the weight of the bike...
I washed it

Feck all, it's a very shiny toy so I haven't the heart to get it covered in salty spray just yet.

It took 5 mins of jet washing before the water started running clear out of the radiator.
Can safely say mine doesn't fall into the same clean and shiny category as yours

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Nipped out for a quick breakfast run with the the Triumph boys this morning, new place for brekki very nice, had a good selection of cake for future reference. Roads were bloody awful, slippy muddy and dangerous. I feel for you guys who commute. Possibly a mistake going out with my back as it is, but in the past the bent over position has done it some good, I know that sounds daft but it did.
Trouble here is that I was tensing up so much with the state of the roads and the looseness of the bike on them, I dont think I helped the situation.
Not cleaned it, that will have to wait, it was a real mess

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Took the GB out for its biggest run so far, 150 km round trip, running like a dream.
Heading out to Wisemans Ferry, and had lunch at the pub there on the river. Road out there is all 80 km limit with some 60, and on the Multi you have to be rather naughty to get some good enjoyment out of it. But on the old girl 80-100 is plenty of fun. Nice and quiet mid week too.
If work are going to force me to be home I’ll might as well enjoy it!

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
It kinda makes sense. Almost.
I think "The Red Lobster" serve their's with salad....although TBH, for a seafood restaurant, The Red Lobster sucks.
Coleslaw & fries is how it usually comes here. Or maybe with mushy peas, which are fairly disgusting.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
It helps keep it in a straight line when the crappy rear end starts bouncing around . I’ve pushed the front a bit hard a couple of times and had it chatter, but it gives you plenty of warning. There’s lots I could do to improve it but I really just want to ride it as it is and I’m learning to get the most out of it.StMarks wrote:Looking at that image, I hadn't appreciated just how long the rake was on those forks.kiwikrasher wrote:Took the GB out for its biggest run so far, 150 km round trip, running like a dream.
It’s got bugger all power, about 30 HP but I’ve learnt the sweet spot is between 6-7.5K RPM and if you keep smooth and the momentum going you can still get along at a good pace.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I loved riding the Triumph Street Twin I had for a week last year. Only 60 odd bhp but it was loads of fun. I ragged it up down my favourite twisty road a few times and I doubt I was going a lot slower than I would on the Street Triple. It’s a proper laugh to push these bikes to their limits.kiwikrasher wrote:It helps keep it in a straight line when the crappy rear end starts bouncing around .

If I could find one of those or a Ducati Scrambler at sensible money I would buy one. They both hold their value well.
