Well let’s hope the tide turns!!
Can’t complain as I did something about it and gone to Santorini fun the sun UNFORTUNATELY without bike
Summer’s on its way, only a gentle vertical mizzle this morning. Makes a change from yesterday’s horizontal variety. ![]()
Have a great time!!
Nearly at its end ![]()

Santorini is beautiful and I highly recommend Pitogyros in Oia if you like authentic Greek street food ![]()

A post was split to a new topic: Trident 660 test ride
I’ve mostly been HOT…!
Crete is going through a few warm days early in their season… To be fair this was on the car temperature gauge and it was sat in the sun, but bloody hell it’s hot…
…securing another contract, finally. Good times.
Excellent news! Congrats!
Had a little ride to the dealer’s to drop off the navsat mount and optimate leads off Jefta’s Striple to be fitted on the new Trident.
Saturday won’t come soon enough for the pair of you ![]()
Too right mate!
I’m also happy to have managed to insure the Trident full comp for a mere €27 a month! ![]()
Had a short cycle ride locally to turn my legs over.
Signs up ready for the big day in Barrow tomorrow
Had a brew with my neighbour and decided we will ride to the motorway to meet the ride and come back with them ![]()
Putting a few more running-in miles on my Speed 400 with a ride over the Campsies to the popular bike stop at Aberfoyle.
I had a cuppa and the biggest blueberry muffin I’ve ever seen in the new cafe there, always a good stop off point at the foot of The Dukes Pass.
I’ll be joining the ride there as well for the ride into Barrow.
I would say that I’ll look out for you but that’s probably wishful thinking given the numbers involved. I’ll be on the Transalp ![]()
Too true! I will be with two other Speediest, a dark and a red and white SE.
Have a good ride ![]()
You too - weather should be OK ![]()
I’ve done some mechanic!! 400 cc single cylinder.
Bought “non running” for cheap, very clean, not used a lot. The guy told me he was good at mechanic and tried different things but…
Carb out, cleaning. Found the issues (electro valve needed a clean), some bits were missing (carb trigger, blade belt tensionner).
3 hours, 20 bucks in bits later It rides like a dream.
…taking the car to the garage for them to investigate why I’m getting slight steering vibration over 60mph. So far all they’ve discovered is that there isn’t a locking wheel nut socket in the car. ![]()
