Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
After getting covered in road muck in yesterdays Fog & Drizzle I gave the Street Triple a clean & went for a spin to my mate's garage.
Whilst we were talking this rolled up to the bike mechanic's place over the road.
I think it's the first time I've seen an Egli.

There didn't happen to be a Trabant at the two-stroke show, did there?

In that case, I spoke to your brother...

Me: Ya leaving?
Him: Yes
at which point someone else moved the cone.

Not in the Trabbie... not sure whether he rode his 'new' RD350LC there, or took the EV Fiat
I know he didn't take his latest project - a Suzuki GT550 - because that's only got two pistons!

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
It's been a long day with lots happening. One of those days when it's coming at you from all angles. But, I did pick up my new bike and put a whopping 40 miles on the clock - it was hard learning to ride a Street Triple again after a Speed Twin. I've only had a couple of hours sleep and my brain wasn't working that quick so I took a few pics and got it home for another sunny day.

That's a very tasty looking motorbicycle and the second Triumph posted on here in as many days that I've liked.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 6:03 pm It's been a long day with lots happening.

Re the headers - a friend suggested coating them in copper grease. He said that the grease will burn off but leave a nice layer of protective copper. I may try this.Skub wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 8:08 pmThat's a very tasty looking motorbicycle and the second Triumph posted on here in as many days that I've liked.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 6:03 pm It's been a long day with lots happening.

In other news the SW Motech panniers for the 2019 Street RS fit this one so I won't need to buy new luggage. While I was taking bits off, generally fondling my way around and tweaking it's nipples, I found this. Love you too G.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Short bimble to my local, The Tiddly, the long way round. Tested the £11 digital tacho, and what a pile of shit it is. Just keeps jumping all over the place. Lovely sunshine but bloody cold, heated gloves came in handy.
Filled the GS ready for Fridays trip north, First night stop in Haddington, east of Edinburgh. Decent weather required.
The sorned MT snuck out for some super fuel and is now put to bed, maybe.
