With the mrs’ new air vest being worn over her jacket, and it not having pockets for obvious reasons, I got her an Sw-motech micro tankbag for her to carry her phone and other bits and bobs. Got a tank ring for the Speed Triple as well, so I can swap my micro over from Tiger to S3 and vice versa.

A post was split to a new topic: New Speed Triple owner
The weather was basically wet all last week and the forecast for this week is rain every day. I wouldn’t normally go out on a bank holiday on the bike (too many idiots about) but as todays rain isn’t forecast until this afternoon I thought I should take advantage of this mornings dry interlude!
I recently discovered that if I set the screen on the Tiger in its lowest position the wind buffeting is much better, in this position I get virtually no buffeting at all. Previously I had always run it in the highest position assuming that is best. I was wrong!

Today I spent half the morning grovelling on a carpark floor in the pouring rain fitting a new brain to my lobotomised Triumph. After which I had a 90 minute drive home with wet trousers that soaked through to my pants, yuk. I’m definitely feeling the effects of a weeks worth of stress and sleep deprivation 
Fortunately the new ECU was reporting a voltage of 12.4V where the old was was showing 6V. So hopefully that really is the problem fixed and when the dealers program it tomorrow I’ll be getting a phone call to say I come collect a working bike 
Edit: Just had the phone call, they’ve programmed the ECU and the bike starts!!! Will get train tomorrow and go pick it up.

Assuming the ride home tomorrow is uneventful, I may yet be in Holland on Saturday 
(That’s where ferry lands).

Great news and fingers crossed it all runs as it should …
I think you said this was your first riding trip abroad?
If I could offer you one thought that I always use when abroad, I always tell myself ( like a mantra) “ DRIVE ON THE RIGHT” .
It is so easy to get distracted and revert back to your normal position .
Have a brilliant time !!
