What have you done today thread?

[Rockburner]

Got the Rockster out*, blasted around Surrey a bit, now sitting in the last bit of sunshine of the evening with prosecco.


* ran a bit better than the JAPton did yesterday... That thing needs some serious tinkering.

Kitty on the loose in the neighborhood...

Nice ride out today. Lunch and a cold pint on route too!

[asmethurst99]

Where is that Taipan ?

[Nidge]

Bought another Triumph

It's the track that goes between Benfleet Station and up to Leigh-on-sea. It basically follows the Benfleet creek to two tree island.

That looks really cool. Tell us about it. I nothing about old Brit bikes. I think later ones had disc brakes so maybe it's an earlier one?

[DefTrap]

Most of the day rolling around on the couch, trying to find a painkiller that works (trapped nerve in neck).
They're all crap so far. I'm at the tramadol level.

[Rockburner]

Got out on the bike yay!

Pootled around Surrey/Sussex and ended up having a cracking cream tea at Handcross.

Sometimes you find some lovely little roads and Southerm England is a lovely place to ride a bike.

Been playing with this lad, bought him home Saturday night. 1st one and he is genuinely amazing.

It’s a 1966 T100 Tiger. Needs some tlc but it’s complete and mostly original. An old boy has got a small container full of bikes he’s amassed over the years and is now getting rid - there will likely be a few more heading my way

I'd put that in the *minor* TLC category, polish the paint & alloy (incl the front brake etc), sort the rust on the rear mudguard, done.

I've got a 65/C one of them too....sort of. 'Sort of' cause a)its actually my wife's (via her late Dad) and b) mine's actually an ex police 3TA which the 5-0 had upgraded with a 5TA engine. It now carries 100SS badging but it's not really a 100SS. It looks almost identical to yours though, except it doesn't have orange reflectors.

Its a lovely little thing, properly dinky and tiny. I tell Mrs D it would make a good classic for a less confident rider, its a piece of piss to kick over and weighs nothing.

Well it needs to run first. Apparently it was a good runner when put away and it certainly has good compression, all the ignition components are present, and all the gears select etc. However the carb slide and fuel tap are both seized so it will be a quick spark check and carb strip at least before I start getting too involved with the cosmetics

@weeksy thread to follow!

[Taipan]

Took my car in for a major service. All went well and the health check only found a couple of minor things, so all in all, a day of relief!

[gremlin]

Spent 40 minutes on the phone to Hastings Direct just renew Mrs. G.'s car insurance. Seriously, every word the woman spoke was sooo drrrraaaawwwwnnnn oooouuuutttt as to make it the telephonic equivalent of tooth extraction.

[Skub]

I started in to painting the outside of the house yesterday,so that'll be me occupied for a while. I'm not the happiest up ladders,but it's gotta be done.

[v8-powered]

Trip on a punt in Cambridge, visit to some museum, just got home.....

[ZRX61]

Burned my hands on the steering wheel driving three miles because I left my welding/driving gloves in the car & they were too hot to put on for the first mile or so.
