What You Been Doing With Your Triumph Today

I had an afternoon in the garage putting some new bits on the tiger. Some new metal hand guards to protect the plastic wind guards.


A Givi locking tank bag mount.

A side stand foot.

And the crash bar bags I recently bought on Temu.

I think I’ve seen the box (and the presenter of) some of those goodies came out of… :grinning_face:

Yes apart from the crash bar bags. The handover took place in Gretna lol

I took advantage of a window in the weather and just did an 80 mile ish round trip to Midwest Moto for a nose at the lovely bikes and kit and to get a coffee and another stamp in the passport. I like coming here because you always get a companion or three when you sit down :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Nothing, as it is precipitating felines and canines…

It hasn’t started here but looks threatening so I nipped out at lunchtime and cleaned the M1 grime off the Sprint from our Silverstone trip. The advantages of working from home.

Weather tomorrow is looking very good so I plan on doing a day in the Peak District, but the good weather started after lunch so I got greedy and did a 100 miles today too :smiley:

During the ride I felt something bounce up the inside of my jacket sleeve, then a stinging sensation that seemed to grow over a few seconds. So I promptly slammed on the anchors and unzipped jacket sleeve to try and shake out whatever was in there. Didn’t find anything other than a bee sting sticking out the inside of my forearm which I pulled out. Not sure if I’ve ever been stung by a bee before, I’ve now got a two inch swollen patch but it doesn’t hurt much unless I press it.

I got stung by a bee once. £8 for a jar of honey.

…I’ll get my coat.

1 hour of total ride yesterday with the Sprint ST 1050 here and there.
Even after riding a “modern bike” I totally assume, I’m still enjoying the ST. It’s fast, fun, and much nicer that the Honda NT.
I’m not the only one there to embrace bike polygamy isn’t it :smile:

Did a 9-to-5 day riding to and around the Peak District, including a few roads I’ve not done for a year or two, e.g. up near Macclesfield and the Goyt Valley. Didn’t take much in the way of photos, but needless to say there was cake involved…

and some hills and moors.
